A Quick Post on Hoi An
Hoi An is supposed to be the place you have to come to if visiting Vietnam. It is a small fishing village half way down the coast. It is very small, and sits on a river bank, the river runs a further 5km from the town into the sea. There is a beautiful beach at the end of the village.
The architecture here is kind of French/Japanese. All the buildings are small, and painted a kind of yellow colour with lots are thick dark wood beams etc..
The streets are narrow, and centered around 'The Old Quater' which is closed to motor vehicles.
There is also a large market that sells everything, but mainly food.
I bought a Hammock of this guy for 4 pounds. He makes them himself, and it takes 4 hours per hammock.
There are street sellers everywhere in Hoi An, you can either let them really annoy you, or you can have a laugh with them (the later usually works best, although you end up buying aload of stuff you don't want), yesterday we ended up buying, a wristband, a pair of nike socks, a hammock, and some tiger massage balm.
Anyway - enough of the boring stuff, i promise to do we will get up to something entertaining soon.
