Budget for Traditional Cooking Lessons in Hoi An: What Experiences Are Included?

I’m planning to join a traditional cooking lesson in Hoi An and would love to know more about the estimated budget. I found that many cooking classes in Hoi An include a visit to Tra Que Herb Village, basket boat rides, and learning how to cook local dishes like rice pancakes (Banh Xeo) and fresh spring rolls. For those who have joined a cooking class in Hoi An, how much did you spend, and what experiences were included in the package? Did it include transportation, market visits, ingredients, meals, or a farm tour? I’d appreciate any recommendations or tips from travelers who have tried it before. Thanks!

Working from Hidden Gem Coffee - A Quiet Spot with Recycled Art Vibes

A Café That Feels Like Art from Forgotten Things I recently found Hidden Gem Coffee in Hanoi, and honestly, it feels different from most cafés I’ve visited. The entire place is decorated with recycled materials old bottles, metal scraps, wooden pieces all turned into something artistic and unexpectedly peaceful. The atmosphere made me slow down. It’s quiet enough to open a laptop, answer messages, or just sit for hours thinking about life and travel. Worth Visiting for Digital Nomads? The coffee was good, the space felt creative, and there were many corners that inspired me to stay longer than planned. It’s not just about drinking coffee, it’s about being surrounded by ideas built from reused things. For anyone doing remote work while traveling in Hanoi, I think places like this make work feel less routine. Discussion Have you ever worked remotely from a café with a unique concept like this? And if you know other hidden cafés in Vietnam with a peaceful vibe for digital nomad life, share them here I’d love to explore more.
