Charming & Delicious Hoi An




Enjoyed 3.5 days in port town Hoi An, town of 19th century
buildings that reflect a mix of Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese architecture. World heritage buildings now used as antique and tailor shops.



The latter being a specialty and attraction of the town. Locals & tourists
flock here for wardrobes of tailor made garmets. A full suit for around USD$20-$30 depending on your bargaining skills. We ventured to a recommended store but regretfully cannot recommend it further. The clothes fit... sorta.



An area Hoi An did not disappoint
in was food. The cullinary experience alone was enough to keep us lingering. So
good was the local ca lau & banana leaf fish that we took up a cooking class. There is something
oddly satisfying about preparing & cooking your own meal then paying more than twice its worth.
