Coronavirus Update:

Tip: Wear a mask when you are walking around. The Vietnamese appreciate it. When you don't it makes them feel you don't take this virus seriously.

News: Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita, have contracted the virus. They got it while filming in Australia.

Hoi An: We are so impressed with the government's approach to keeping Hoi An residents safe. Their swift, decisive measures to stem any spread is something many Western countries should take notice of. Recently a British tourist tested positive for the virus in Hoi An. It is reported he visited places in the Old Town over the weekend. This is the government's response:

*Bars in Hoi An Old town and places where people can gather in groups have been asked to close. Restaurants remain open. Bars outside of the Old Town like the Hoi An Sports Bar are open.

*Ticket sales to the five Heritage sights in the Old Town have been suspended.

*The authorities intend to fumigate the entire town. According to a colleague they are doing that now.

*The walking streets / traffic free zone times in the Old Town have been lifted. Traffic can now enter at any time.

Everything else is open and things are as normal as can be - under the circumstances. And you know what, we feel very safe here. Don't put off your Hoi An visit. The town has never been so beautiful.

Hoian Now

The crowds are gone! Well nearly. Shop owners say the crowds dropped off two days ago. Those groups who remain are finishing their tours.

And whilst our heart goes out for the many businesses who will be dramatically affected by this temporary ban on flights, a selfish part of us rejoices.

This is the Hoi An without tour buses, without jostling crowds. A Hoi An we remember. If you want to see Hoi An as it once was, this is your time.

(Update: whilst flights from mainland China are stopped the temporary ban on flights between Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau has been lifted.)

How long all this goes on is anyone's guess. Even if it is shortlived we wonder what the impact will be on business. If you have a business we'd love to hear from you to let us know how you're going? Have you noticed a downturn in non-Asian tourism as well?

The odour of agarwood is complex and pleasing, with few or no similar natural analogues. In the perfume state, the scent is mainly distinguished by a combination of "oriental-woody" and "very soft fruity-floral" notes. The incense smoke is also characterized by a "sweet-balsamic" note and "shades of vanilla and musk" and amber (not to be confused with ambergris). As a result, agarwood and its essential oil gained great cultural and religious significance in ancient civilizations around the world, being described as a fragrant product as early as 1400 BCE in one of the world's oldest written texts – the Sanskrit Vedas from India. Agarwood is highly revered in Islam.

In the Hebrew Bible, "trees of lign aloes" are mentioned in The Book of Numbers 24:6

Dioscorides in his book Materia Medica (65 CE) described several medical qualities of agarwood (Áγαλλοχου) and mentioned its use as an incense. Even though Dioscorides describes agarwood as having an astringent and bitter taste, it was used to freshen the breath when chewed or as a decoction held in the mouth. He also writes that a root extract was used to treat stomach complaints and dysentery as well as pains of the lungs and liver. Agarwood's use as a medicinal product was also recorded in the Sahih Muslim, which dates back to approximately the eighth century, and in the Ayurvedic medicinal text the Susruta Samhita.

As early as the third century CE in ancient Viet Nam, the chronicle Nan zhou yi wu zhi (Lĩnh nam chích quái) (Strange things from the South) written by Wa Zhen of the Eastern Wu Dynasty mentioned agarwood produced in the Rinan commandery, now Central Vietnam, and how people collected it in the mountains.

Agarwood, aloeswood or gharuwood is a fragrant dark resinous wood used in incense, perfume, and small carvings. It is formed in the heartwood of aquilaria trees when they become infected with a type of mould (Phialophora parasitica).

As early as the third century CE in ancient Viet Nam, the chronicle Nan zhou yi wu zhi (Lĩnh nam chích quái) (Strange things from the South) written by Wa Zhen of the Eastern Wu Dynasty mentioned agarwood produced in the Rinan commandery, now Central Vietnam, and how people collected it in the mountains.

Starting in 1580 after Nguyễn Hoàng took control over the central provinces of modern Vietnam, he encouraged trade with other countries, specifically China and Japan. Agarwood was exported in three varieties: Calambac (kỳ nam in Vietnamese), trầm hương (very similar but slightly harder and slightly more abundant), and agarwood proper. A pound of Calambac bought in Hội An for 15 taels could be sold in Nagasaki for 600 taels. The Nguyễn Lords soon established a Royal Monopoly over the sale of Calambac. This monopoly helped fund the Nguyễn state finances during the early years of the Nguyen rule.

What is Handmade thing ?

In the simple common sense nature of the word, it is easy to break down that ‘handmade’ which means Made by Hand. Now what does ‘made by hand’ mean ? Does it mean a hand touched the product, that it did so by 50% of the production, or did 100% of the work with nothing more than simple hand tools and no machine use whatsoever ?

I can tell you that when the term ‘handmade’ came around, there were no machines. Shoes had to be made by hand because machine production hadn’t been invented yet. And it seems from the day that machines actually were created to help with mass production, the term ‘handmade’ got lost, misconstrued and just downright abused as it is today.

Handmade là gì?

Thật dễ dàng để phân tích "thủ công" có nghĩa là "làm bằng tay". Vậy bây giờ cái gì được làm bằng tay có nghĩa là gì ? Liệu nó có phải bàn tay người phải làm ra sản phẩm 50% thành phẩm, hay phải làm 100% công việc mà không có gì hơn là các dụng cụ cầm tay đơn giản và không sử dụng máy gì ?

Tôi có thể nói với bạn rằng khi thuật ngữ ‘thủ công xuất hiện, thời đó chưa có máy móc. Giày phải được làm bằng tay vì sản xuất máy đã chưa được phát minh. Và dường như từ ngày máy móc thực sự được tạo ra để hỗ trợ sản xuất hàng loạt, thuật ngữ ‘handmade đã bị mất, bị hiểu sai và bị lạm dụng hoàn toàn như ngày nay.
