Hoi An

aka: shopping

sunny 30 °C

Hey everyone

So i left Hue after 24 hours...there just wasnt much to see there. I spent my one and only evening chiling out in a bar with a group of people also travelling alone which was really lovely. Having not met many people in Vietnam, it was nice to be part of a group again!

Anyway, I got teh bus to Hoi An, and after 5 hours of sitting next to some vietnamese grandmother, listing to a vietnamese comedy show on the TV (lets just say nobody was laughing as the bus was 90% tourists), i arrived into Hoi An.

Hoi An in a really beautiful town, with ancient buildings, set on a lovely lake. Even the motorbikes are less annoying here! Anyway, after checking into my hotel (which is lovely and right in the centre) i headed straight to the tailers! :)

So..over the past few days i have bought: 3 pairs of trousers, 4 shirts, 4 skirts, 2 tops, 1 pair shorts, 1 winter coat, 1 pair knee high boots and 1 pair of shoes! Excellent. Oh, and then i made a trip to the post office to send it all home cause there is absolutely no way i can carry it around me with (all bar 2 tops and 1 skirt..cause its nice to look nice once in a while :) ) I do think that the post office in Hoi An is the only post office in the entire world that is open 7 days a week, from 7am to 10pm. Craziness!

At night i have been meeting up with some girls i met, Sarah Jane and Holly, from London, and going out for lovely dinners by the lake. Its all very pleasant here.

Tomorrow i am flying back to bangkok because i have had enough of Vietnam, and from Bangkok i'm going to head to Cambodia.

Keep in touch xxxxxxxxx
