Vietnam (Hoi An) - 2005

Hoi An

semi-overcast 19 °C

Hoi An is like a resort town. The locals seem to be obsessed with sweeping their streets, so we found Hoi An very clean. All the buildings are normally painted yellow with dark brown wooden carved entries. Its very picturesque. We caught motorbikes into town and back every day, on one of the trips the taxi rider was a young girl half of my size!! But off we scootered, no worries, we don't mind for one dollar! Anyway Hoi An although beautiful was a scheming little town. 'Hey where you from? You enjoying holiday? Come into my shop' constantly!!! They are even tricky enough to ride up beside you while you are on the motorbike taxi and start talking to you and then the conversation ends with 'I've got a shop would you like to have a look?'. Anyway, the cafes in Hoi An were beautiful, there was not a slummy one amongst them (which was a change). The town was full of both tailor shops and art galleries. The art here is amazing, I must say its inspiring.
