A fashionista's dream. That's what Hoi An is. A town with an old quarter built with a french touch. Romantic, cosy, relaxing and off course hundreds of tailors!! They can make whatever you like; dresses, jackets, pants, skirts, tops, scarfs and shoes of all kinds! Just go inside one of the clothshops and tell the shape, colour and details you'd like and they make it for you. If you aren't happy when it's finished (which doesn't take long!) they easily fix it so it will fit you perfect!

I made a red one-shoulder dress, a navy blue shiffong skirt and a really cool pair of high heeled shoes (the pattern on them isn't from this world!) Evelina made two pair of shoes, a coat and a black shiffong dress. And the best thing is that it's soooo cheap!!! The cloths-making is the main reason why you go to Hoi An, cuz there aren't really much else to do here. You can go for some mountaintours, but that you can do everywhere in Vietnam, so it's nothing superspecial. Otherwise Hoi An is a nice place for couples, cuz like I said, it's a really romantic town. There's flowervines on the roofs of the yellow stonehouses and in the evenings the town lights up with hundreds of coulored paperlamps! 

There are restaurants all along the river and once you cross the bridge you'll find just as many, but way cheaper, on the other side. We acctually went to a place called Enjoy that had just opened, and they had 48 different ice cream flavours, chocolate fondant, pancakes and a restaurant on the second floor! And you're allowed to try how much ice cream you want!! (The owner literally told us so! :D)

 

Sooo, that's what we did in Hoi An, and now I'm running out of money, so I have to leave this computer now! :p
