Hoi An, the tailoring capitol of Vietnam, it's sooooooooooo tempting and cheap!!
Most amusing sight today, was watching a tourist ( I assume a Brit) on a bicycle and sticking to the highway code. Not an easy feat in Vietnam but the signal to turn right cracked me up watching the chaos all around him. 10 out of 10 for effort mate. Closely followed by the most overladen moto I have ever seen full of bananas.
Played Lara Croft in the temples of My Son very early in the morning to avoid the crowds, discovered the most fabulous french patisserie, had to have 2 tarte au fraise ......back to get my clothes remeasured then ;-)
Most frustrating experience in Hoi An.....filling out post office paperwork to send stuff back the the UK, I forget I am in a communist country although vietnam radio blaring out at 7 am every morning on loud speakers does tend to remind you.
All in all am much happier as I head further south, maybe I'm getting used to the coutry or the pace is a bit slower, plus the weather has improved, which helps.
