Arriving in Hoi An, we took our French friends' advice and stayed at a nice little hotel called the Sun Flower Inn (cheap room overlooks the pool).
Our first day in Hoi An we walked around the small town and [unavoidably] succumbed to the tailors that line the street. Rooftop dinner overlooking the river through town preceded a quick dip in the pool before settling down.
The next day we rented a motorbike and toured the beaches and a small section of town where fish are farmed. We checked on the progress of a few pieces of clothing, and fine tuned some other finished pieces. We met up with the French before some [Vietnamese?] Indian cuisine.
Our last full day we collected our finished garments from around town - our final tally: 3 dresses, 4 hand-made pairs of shoes, 6 dress shirts, and 4 jackets... barely breaking the $100 mark. We had dinner with and said goodbye to the French, and went to sleep before our 6 o'clock flight to Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City the next morning.

Ho Chi Minh City was much different this time around. Our 'lives' in Southeast Asia over the last 5 weeks and our new hotel's location (much more suave compared to 'My Gay Cat') yielded an entirely different feeling and experience. We checked into Happy Inn ("Happy Inn-ding," we joked), and walked the busy streets of Saigon, District 1 (the nice touristy district). Luckily, we found the [phenomenally heavy] remarkable War Remenants Museum, a tribute to the memory of the IndoChina and Vietnamese Wars and the war crimes committed therein. other than the military hardware on display, there were many exhibitions on Agent Orange, torture, propaganda, etc. excellently presented from the perspective of The North and The South. We topped off our history lesson with some sushi.
Unfortunately, it was some sort of holiday (LOTS of holidays this time of year in S.E. Asia...) so we could not reserve any tours or anything. So Kelsey and I spent the next two days looking at Saigon's supermarkets, slowly speaking English to cab drivers [to no avail], eating more [Indian] Indian food, attending lonely roof-top bars, and wondering the city.

Saigon --> Tokyo --> San Francisco --> Salt Lake, we're home!
