Hoi An has a major French colonial influence and cafe bar style/feel to it....with a Vietnamese twist of course. It's quieter, quite charming and has almost a village feel to it. The GI's in the Vietnam War were sent here for some R&R in between fighting against the Vet Con. Clothes wise, you can get anything you want made-to-measure here within 1-2 days by one of the hundreds of tailors. I discovered I could post items home for about 15 quid, so a made-to-measure dress, skirt, Vietnamese style tunic (I just had to have one) are winging their way back to the UK and a jacket is on it's way to Oz! I'm also very excited about 2 original paintings by a local artist that I bought which will (hopefully) arrive in the UK via seamail in about 3 months. No apologies, I'm a woman who likes to shop!Monday, 1 June 2009
