Hoi An is one of the most expensive place in Vietnam but it's also one of the most attractive town. It rains 3 to 4 times everyday, so you can see some boys selling umbrellas and rain jackets anytime at the roadside.
About Hoi An, I must tell you something about the hotel where our bus dropped us, the bus only send you to certain hotel which is very expensive about U$50.00, once you get down from the bus they will try whatever way they can to drag you into it, if you refuse to go in they will show you a very fierce and ugly looking face also telling you something like "hey this is the cheapest hotel in Hoi An, if you go away from here we have no more room for you, the price will go up..." We turn our head away walking straight to the main road looking for our own hotel, finally we found a budget room about U$12.00.
