Coming to Hoi An, 30 min driving from the City Da Nang is a promitive and charming little city by the beach. The little city had no internet connection and power problems is the city. On sunday morning/afternoon, half of the city was with no power. But still up and going.
This is a city with so many tailors for shoes, and bags and clothes you get lost in them. They are on every corner, promising you the best dress or shoes.
The foodmarket has all the fresh vegetables, fish, meat and eggs you can EVER imagine. The fishermen deliver the fresh fish to the market, only meters away. The smell of streetfood in the marked is overwhelming and the coffee smell. It is to die for.. Vietnameese coffee is the best coffee I have ever tasted.
We where lucky to meet a buisness lady who was very eager (off course) to invite us to her sisters shop. By coinsedence, our taxi driver asked her for direction to our hotel, and she hopped in the car and said she could show him. By the time we arrived the hotel, she managed to talk us into coming to her sisters shop.
When we arrived the marked, confused by all the tailors and shops and didnt know where to go, she suddenly appears in her scooter and directs us to her sisters shop. We spent the next hour here, looking deciding for them to make a dress and a top. When we finally finnished our buisness here another girl convinces us to show us her tailored shoes. These people are hard working sellers, and they know what they are doing!
But you get tired of it after a while, and can politly say no. Again, and again and again… and they will let you go. Until the next day, they say you owe them a look at the shop since you did not look the day before..
But overall our days in Hoi An was very nice. Still good food, and very friendly people.
