Shop, that was not a hard question. Our guide book said that when folks come to Hoi An with the intention of not shopping they are sorely misguided. The sheer number of great tailors in the this own could rival that of the population of Cambodia, seriously. Almost every shop is filled to the brim with samples and fabric and eager workers waiting to flatter you into purchasing mountains of custom made clothing. We of course fell into the trap and find ourselves leaving town with a few more things than when we entered. The cobblers here evidently make any show you want as well, from a photo, but we did managed to keep ourselves out of those shops. Thank goodness!
Surprisingly the language barrier here has not been as bad as Saigon so there aren't too many adventures with "Engrish" here to speak of. We met a great group of folks yesterday afternoon and did dinner with them at night. It was fun to meet up with a bunch of new people! Today we went and saw the ruins at My Son. Very cool and evidently like Angkor Wat "light". I was not too impressed but it was cool all the same. Maybe if it weren't 100 degrees out I'd feel differently.
Tonight we set off on a 12 hour night bus ride to Nha Trang for the beach and some boating. More to come...
