Im in Hoi An, its lush! i'm loving here i have bought so much stuff its been canny cool. I already want to come back and I havent even left yet. We were meant to be getting the famous "cockroach train" but when we got the train station in Nha Trang to get on it 2 days ago the train station lady amongst giving Tong the eye was telling us we were here too early. even though we were on time, it turned out that there was some massive flood or something blocking the trainline so they were waiting to see if it could make it or not so we could get it. we were all like 'YEEEEEEEEEEEEEY" as it meant if no train, then no cockroach train. we ended up getting a bus which took about 11 hours maybe. it arrived for us at 11.30pm so we were at the train station for ages, so we obvuiously needed to wee so went on the hunt for some toilets which were outside, they we in some binman ysrd type place next to loadsa bikes. they were metal timemachine toilets and we needed coins to get in which was weird as so far we hadnt seen any coins in Vietmam i was convinced they had only notes a lady came out of the toilets whilst we were debating the coin situation so i figured if i went in when the door was open i could get a free wee. but then halfway in i got freaked out and realised i may get stuck in their and there didnt appear to be a light on so i stated to get out but by then the door was shutting which was not fun. i made it out alive luckily however the door was now jammed open. we ended up with coins tho and went in and it was hillarious. manky metal piss stinking worse than festival toilets. seriously girls worse than festivals! but thegood thing about them was the fact that they played really loud music whilst you were in there incase you cant wee without music i think? was pretty funny anyway as well as disgusting of course. Anyway enought about toilets...

we we arrived in Hoi An we were all pretty tired and starving so we dumped out bags in our FANCY hotel (by fancy i mean it has an outdoor pool) then headed for some food. it then started full on lashing down really bad, then tong tells us its like a 15 min walk to breakfast so we all went and got some lovely ponchos mine was yellow and i was working it haha.

after breakfast (where i had some noodle thing and something called white rose (google maybe) so i had lunch not breakfast? live like the locals n all that. was lush anyways mmm! we then went to the tailors to look at getting some clothes made. i got a wee bit carried away i wanted one beachy type dress but then got taken in by how amazing it was so order a amazing 4 print piece dress. when i was picking the pattern fabrics the lady was like 'no no no they do NOT match' and i was like ' this is MY dress' haha was fun times thought she was brilliant! i was impressed for sure. i also order a purple dress which i am wearing now ready to go out then after ordering them and being measured todeath then i decided i really needed a nice goingout top so its black and white silk pattern and i am so impressed!!

i picked them up today and i am sooo impressed we had a fitting this mrining and picked them up this afternoon. so yeah basically my name is tracy morren and i have a tailor. mint!

we had a nice bike ride today to the beach via some lush villages and lakes and we saw rice fields and proper local life it was beautiful my bum is very sore now i can barely sit down without wanting to cry *yey team drama* slight exageration. i have however severely burnt myself as i thought the bike ride would be like 20 mins but was aaaages and no cream on oops. my face was protected tho of course! so i have lovely red and black colours happening today. the beach was also lush!! i love beaches!!
