Vietnam 3: Hoi An and Marble Mountain
Vietnam Adventure -- Chapter 3: Hoi An and Marble Mountain
From Saigon we flew to Da Nang, and from there were met by our guide to take us by Minibus to Hoi An. After checking in at the beautiful Hoi An Beach Resort, our guide took us to the old town of Hoi An, which is listed as a World Heritage site. Hoi An was a major international port in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the foreign influences are evident to this day. The heart of the city is still the Old Town, full of winding lanes and Chinese-styled shop-houses. It is particularly beautiful in the evening as the sun goes down. While almost all shops now cater to the tourist trade, the area has been largely preserved, which is unusual in Vietnam. Renovation here has proceeded slowly and carefully - mercifully absent are the towering concrete buildings and karaoke parlors.
Some interesting attractions include the Japanese Covered Bridge (Chua Cau or Lai Vien Kieu), on the west end of Tran Phu Street. The bridge was constructed in the early 1600's by the Japanese community, roughly 40 years before they left the city to return to Japan under the strict policy of sakoku enforced by the Tokugawa Shogunate, and renovated in 1986. Today, it's the symbol of Hoi An.
We found the Quan Cong Temple at 24 Tran Phu Street very interesting, and enjoyed a lovely trip on the Thu Bon River in a beautifully decorated, ancient Swan Boat captained by the usual friendly and accommodating skipper. Willie and Katie both got to drive the boat also. This little excursion is a must -- it gives you a very different perspective of Hoi An from the water level, and is a very relaxing few hours on the water.
Numerous congregation halls, where Chinese expatriate residents socialized and held meetings, are dotted about the town. They are typically named after the home region of their members. Our favorite was the Cantonese Assembly Hall (Quang Dong) at 176 Tran Phu Street. Built in 1885, it has a calm courtyard with ornate statuary and we liked the kitschy pastel dragon statues.
Tailor shops abound and made-to-measure shirts, blouses, dresses, suits etc. are on offer from the renowned tailors of Hoi An. There are now well over 400 of these shops throughout Hoi An. As a rule of thumb, keep going back until you get your clothes right!
Food in Hoi An is, even by high Vietnamese standards, cheap and tasty. We had some wonderful meals and good atmospheres in several restaurants. As in most restaurants, we lost Gavin to some of the wait staff as we entered since he was such an attraction to the locals, being a yellow-haired baby with blue eyes!
We visited the Marble Mountains and one of the amazing marble carving shops. The area is famous for stone sculpture making and stone-cutting crafts. Direct marble rock extraction from the mountains was banned recently. Materials are now being transported from quarries in Quang Nam province.
Marble Mountains (Ngũ Hành Sơn - Five elements mountains) is a cluster of five marble and limestone hills located in Ngu Hanh Son ward, south of Da Nang. The five 'mountains' are named after the five elements - Kim (metal), Thuy (water), Moc (wood), Hoa (fire) and Tho (earth).
All of the mountains have cave entrances and numerous tunnels, and we climbed to the summit of one of the peaks. We were impressed with the many marble statues carved inside these Buddhist cave-sanctuaries.
We were able to get some laundry done, and although cold, took a long walk on the beach.

Hoi An - The town of peace
The old town isn’t a big place, but its three or four main streets are interspersed with countless alleyways and byways.
If you venture away from the tailors’ shops, restaurants and souvenir shacks you’ll find alleys are speckled with homes, stalls and out-of-the-way restaurants in which to while away your time. It’s a town to get briefly, but satisfyingly, lost in.
Hoi An’s buildings reflect a sense of calm and forgottenness. All painted the same shade of rich yellow, they’re now flecked with green moss and grime. Bursts of pastel blue or green break the monotony.
Chinese and Japanese architecture permeate the temples and the rows of wooden houses. Many of the buildings are built on the same template: two-story constructions with a small open courtyard.
The best place to observe the architecture is in one of the town’s many art galleries, such as T&G Art Gallery (46 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street).
On a rainy day, the courtyard becomes a place of slow, dripping water and artwork set slightly too close to the open air. It’s peaceful; silent but for the strains of Mozart drifting in from the streets.

Let's Make a Deal!
Bargaining for a leather belt at Ben Thanh market in Vietnam.
Price started at $1.200.000 Viet Nam Dong, about $60 USD, but for me a special price of $1.000.000 VND ($50USD) was offered. This was quickly reduced to $850.000 VND ($42USD) then $800.000 VND ($40USD). I offered $300.000 VND ($15USD) and after a few minutes of haggling a FINAL, BEST PRICE of $650.000 VND ($32USD) was offered to me.
Let's make a deal....this girl, like most Vietnamese women, wanted to hold my baby really bad. Every where my wife and I go in Vietnam people are touching and grabbing our baby boy. I'm not sure if this is because they love kids so much or because he has blonde hair and blue eyes. So I asked her if she wanted to play a game?
I give her my baby to hold and if he doesn't cry I will pay her $1.200.000 VND for the belt. If he does cry she gives me the belt free. She was pretty hesitant about having to give a belt away free so I gave her a new offer and here is where we start filming $800.000 if he doesn't cry, $300.000 VND if he does, or we can do $600.000/$400.000.
After some coaxing and prodding from some onlookers and other shop owners she agreed to $800.000/$300.000
I won, but she wouldn't honor the agreement and I ended up paying $400.000 VND ($20USD).
Fun times in Vietnam!

Lyrics:
I was a girl, you were a boy and I,
I saw you there Tuesday Affair, blue skies.
You looked at me, we casually caught eyes.
But then I knew my waiting was through,
When you smiled at me.
A story of a love.
Yeah, as fierce as it once was.
For every time you held me,
And everything you'd tell me,
I was still the last to know.
For everything you'd show me,
And know you say you're sorry,
I was still the last to know.
Honesty lost, time across the truth.
With a look and a sigh he pierced my eyes,
And it's then I knew.
That words were words and nothing could hurt more.
But I walk away forgetting that day that something knew.
A story of a love.
Yeah, as fierce as it once was.
For every time you held me,
And everything you'd tell me,
I was still the last to know.
For everything you'd show me,
And know you say you're sorry,
I was still the last to know.
I waited, debated, but the cold winds came through.
I felt it, it's entrance.
The chills of a, the chills of a lost love.
For every time you held me,
And everything you'd tell me,
I was still the last to know.
For everything you'd show me,
And know you say you're sorry,
I was still the last to know.
I was a girl, you were a boy and I,
I saw you there Tuesday Affair, blue skies.

清海無上師簡介
為了那一點點愛，我們上天下地探索，只為尋獲那一點點愛，
將此愛與眾生分享，無論他們在世上哪個角落。
—— 清海無上師
在無數與清海無上師相遇的人眼中，無上師可說是「愛」的化身！
她是一位知名的慈善家、藝術家和靈性導師。她的愛心和奉獻超越文化與種族的藩籬，嘉惠世界各地數以百萬計的人們。其中包括：窮困的人、醫學研究機構、孤苦的老人、身心障礙者、難民，以及遭受地震、水患等受難者，只要人們有需求，她便無私地奉獻所有。
經由這些善舉，我們見證「源源不絕的慈悲心」正是這位深具愛心女士的標誌。而「世界會」會員，也依循著她的愛心典範，成長茁壯。
清海無上師出生於悠樂中部。小時候，她總是盡其所能地幫助醫院裏的病人和窮苦的人。長大後，她到歐洲留學，擔任義務護理人員，以及為紅十字會翻譯。很快地，清海無上師便發現，痛苦存在於所有文化和世界上每個角落。因此，找尋解除這些苦難的方法，成為她生活中最重要的目標。
清海無上師曾與一位德國醫生結婚，過著幸福美滿的婚姻生活。儘管「分離」對他們來說，是個極為困難的抉擇，然而為了無上師高雅的理想，她的先生最後還是同意分離。隨後，清海無上師便展開靈性追尋之旅。
經過一段漫長旅程，最後，她在印度喜馬拉雅山的深山裡，找到一位開悟的明師，傳授她「觀音法門」——觀內在光和音的打坐法門。經過一段時間的精進修行之後，她達到完全證悟的境界。
“你必須把時間留給自己，往內靜思、回歸自己的本性，記起自己內在的本質，並發展它，讓自己像個藝術家般閒情逸致、滿懷愛心、沒有壓力，然後你才能給予。如果你不了解快樂，你就無法給予快樂；如果你沒有和平，你就無法給予和平。
—— 清海無上師
離開喜馬拉雅山後不久，在眾人的誠摯懇求下，清海無上師將「觀音法門」傳授給渴求真理的人們，鼓勵求道者往內找尋自己偉大的品質。
社會各階層的人士，經由修行「觀音法門」後，發現他們生活更滿足、平靜，充滿喜悅。隨後，美國、歐洲、亞洲、南美洲以及聯合國，均邀請清海無上師蒞臨演講，並傳授「觀音法門」。
“我們能分享什麼就開始分享，然後就可以感受到內在的微細變化，我們的意識會注入更多的愛力，這就是一個起步。我們來到這裡是為了學習成長，也為了學習使用我們無限的愛力和創造力，讓我們所處的任何環境變得更好！
—— 清海無上師
清海無上師本身是一位善行義舉的典範，同時她也鼓勵大家美化我們所居住的世界。
經由修行觀音法門，清海無上師發展出多樣渾然天成的才華，透過繪畫、音樂、詩作、珠寶和服裝設計等藝術創作，將來自天國的靈思融入生活之中。
1995年，在大眾的懇求下，首度在國際各流行重鎮，展開服裝設計巡迴展，其中包括倫敦、巴黎、米蘭和紐約等地。清海師父用這些藝術創作的收入從事慈善工作，以獨立的資金來源展現她的務實觀－－我們都應該靠自己的力量幫助他人。
雖然清海無上師不追求外界的認可，但世界各國的官方和私人組織，為表揚她的無我奉獻，在諸多場合頒發給她各式獎項，包括：「世界和平獎」、「顧氏和平獎」、「世界精神領袖獎」、「世界公民人道獎」以及服務大眾傑出人士和提升人權方面的獎章。
她以愛心消弭世上的仇恨，她為絕望的人帶來希望，
她以寛容化解誤會，她散發出偉人光芒，
她是全人類的慈悲天使。
—— 前夏威夷檀香山市長花士先生
清海無上師是當代致力於幫助他人發現及創造美好未來的人士之一。如同許多歷史上的偉人一樣，無上師也有她自己的夢想：
我有一個夢想
我夢想全世界和平
我夢想世界不再有殺生，小孩們可以過著和諧安樂的生活
我夢想國際間能彼此握手言和、互相保護、互相幫助
我夢想這個幾千百萬億年愛心造就的美麗的星球不會被摧毀
我夢想它將會在和平、美麗與愛中延續下去

Hi. I'm Jennifer from Workroom Social, and today I'm going to show you how to use a double needle on your sewing machine.
Here is the double needle that I'm using, and a double needle is exactly what it sounds like. It's two needles connected to one shaft and it makes two lines of stitching that are exactly the same distance apart.
The first thing you want to do is take out the needle that you currently have in your sewing machine. I just twisted the screw that holds my needle in and took it out. I'll put that needle aside. Then I want to take my double needle and put it into the sewing machine. I want to make sure that the flat of the shaft is towards the back of the sewing machine and that on my needle eyes, the grooves on the eyes are towards me. The other thing you have to note when you're using a double needle is you need to use a presser foot that accommodates for a zigzag. So if I were to use the presser foot that I have in my machine right now, which is for a straight stitch, the needles would hit the presser foot and break.
So go ahead and put your zigzag foot in your machine, and then you can put your needle into the machine. Remember to press the needle up as far as it will go and then tighten the screw that holds your needle in place.
My machine was already threaded, so I'm going to leave everything exactly the way it is, and I'm going to take the thread that is in the hook on the left, and I'm going to thread it through the eye of the left needle. So I'm just going to pull and then I'm going to tuck it underneath the presser foot.
Now for the second thread, you're going to take a second spool and put it on the second spindle on your machine. For this spool, you want your thread, if you notice here on the first one, we have our thread coming off the back and it's kind of going counter-clockwise. We want the second spool to be the opposite. So we're going to put that on, but the thread is going to come off on the front side of the machine.
Then we're going to thread everything just the same, except when we get to the bottom, you're going to put the thread through the little hook that's on the right of the needle, and then you're going to thread the needle that's on the right. Then tuck that thread underneath your presser foot. Then you can grab all three of your threads, both these top stitch and your bobbin thread and pull them all so that you can make sure that everything's moving smoothly.
Now I noticed when I did that, that when I threaded the needle on the right, it got twisted. The thread got twisted around the needle. So that was a good thing to see before I started sewing and all I will do is just clip the thread, take that piece out, and re-thread the eye of the needle. So now I have all my threads. I'm just going to pull, and everything is moving together.
Okay. Great. So now you're ready to sew. I'm just going to use this piece of fabric. I'm going to line it up with our five-eighths guide on our seam, on our throat plate on the seam guide, and I'm just going to sew a straight stitch on the stitch type. Then the link, I'm going to do a three.
Now we can see our double needle, or twin needle stitch. This is on the right side of the fabric. If you'll notice on the wrong side of the fabric, we have a zigzag, which allows for stretch. So the twin needle can be used for sewing knits, because it has some stretch, and it can also be used as purely a decorative finishing stitch.
So that's how you use a twin needle.
