Sooooooo, we arrive in Hoi An to be greeted by loc, small Vietnamese guy who took us to his mates bed n brekky!! We did our usual trick after a night bus had a few hours, and as promised loc was waiting for us to take us to his shop.
Hoi An is famous for tailoring anything you want!! This is good and bad news, good cos it's cheap and something different, bad cos Dean is with 2 women, who luuurrvee da shopping!!
Hoi An reminders us of a lil french town with lots of boutiques crafts and bars next to the river bank, oh n not to mention the cheapest beer in the world 14p a pint!! Aaaaaaaagggghhh no!!
Now back to loc and him taking us to the place were we would spend lots of our time and money in Hoi An,
Well started off by us looking through catalogues the woman had in the shop then onto the Internet printing pictures off of what we wanted then
motorbike rides to the hotel to get clothes so they could copy or get ideas,
Then 5 hours later we all had 5 or 6 items including tailor made 3 peice suit t shirts dresses cardigans vests, and a weak bank balance!! On the way back to the hotel we stopped off to get dinner were Deano self serviced in a castle then the cheeky b******s asked for a service charge... I don't think!!
Still not finished shopping for the day we decided to stop and het some shoes made, yesssssss any shoe any style made for about a tenner to fit your feet perfectly!!!
After 4 days of going back to the tailors for alterations and this n that we had well enough of it needless to say the tailor who had totally had enough of these 2!! Although we paid her good money she was a bit of a moody b****!!
We then treated ourselfs a lil bit more by finding a trendy wine bar which served Rose and Anna s first glass or 2 was much needed including a platter of vietnams finest foods, couldn't tell ya what they was but delish!! Deano helping himself to 5 or 6 beers which cost em less than a quid!!
With all the clothes shoes etc. all finished and everyone happy we had to send all that s*** home!! More payout!! After spending 7 days here and taking a loan out,, our time had come to an end and we were heading for the capital, not before a candlelit dinner by the river!! Bye Hoi an!!
