During the week while I was at our conference we had a company day visiting Hoi An and some nearby ruins.  The ruins dated back about 1000 years and are Hindu Temples which is interesting since the majority of the country is Buddhist.  They were rediscovered by a Frenchman and then some got taken to museums in France and Vietnam and then they were bombed during the Vietnam War.

From there we went to Hoi An and had a tour around and walked over the Japanese Covered Bridge and through a Vietnamese house that had architecture from Japan, China and Vietnam and the tour was conducted by an 8th generation relative who still lives there.  In the picture, the Chinese were on the left and the Japanese on the right.

We also visited a sculpture garden which was fascinating and all the statues were made out of marble.  Here is an impersonation of one of them:
