Hoi An, Vietnam
Thursday, December 13, 2007
Ok, I admit, the reason why we came here nearly at the End of the trip was not only to enjoy the beaches again but also to get some tailoring made.
Hoi An is THE Tailor city. I did not count the number of them but it could be approx. at 200. The city has a certain flavor, which you do not find anywhere. Yes it is touristic but instead of all the motorbike crowded towns there can be some quiteness found there. On the 1st, 15th, of each month, Mondays and Wednesdays and on full moon the old quarter is closed for traffic except bycicles. And then you can feel what quiteness is, enjoying a coffee or a beer or two. They also have specific food here, which is worth trying. And there is no sign of rain, which is unusual for here in this time. We met some travellers, who did not go or left
Hoi An, because of flooding and rain. But we still saw some leftovers of the flooding on the houses and in the streets. It is a regular incident that hotels, restaurants and shops get flooded. Packed with new business clothes and even tailored shoes we took the plane to Ho Chi Minh, where the temperature rose to 34 degrees C.
