Imperial Court Dinner. Hoi An, Vietnam

I read somewhere that we could go to a fancy dress banquet dinner in Hoi An, which I thought was a stupendous idea. Thankfully all 15 of our fellow Intrepid travellers thought it was too, so along we went for an entertaining evening.

There was dress ups - my favourite. Cultural show in the form of music - Brocks favourite. And a 6 course banquet - our collective favourite.

We drew names out of a hat, Magnus got chosen to be the King, Chris the Queen and Samantha the court Eunich. The rest of the girls were conchibines and the boys were Civil Mandarins (military men - not friut!).

Anyway I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story. Please pay particular note to the effort they made to make our entrees look like birds!
