Hoi An Favorites

Favorite thing: Hoi An old town is small, it's easy to stroll around. While I said earlier I'm afraid the town is losing its character due to tourism, this can only be felt in the most visited places, otherwide it seems to be unchanged.

Favorite thing: Being an old chinese port, the town is so fascinating you cannot imagine. Allthough so touristy, you still feel sometimes like off the beaten path. Beautiful old wooden houses and the market will bewith you.
Sad the fact that you have to buy this 5er tickets which give you the possibility to visit the spots and you have to make your decission ´which one is more interested for you.
For every further spot you have to pay 10.000 Dong, The tickets are avaible at places marked on the map you can have from every hotel or travel agencies and cost 50.000 Dong

Favorite thing: Looks like a Vietnamese huh? This is a small town at the seaside called Hoi An, very beautiful place. Most of Vietnam are like a construction site but not this one, Hoi An is really beautiful.

Fondest memory: On our way to Da Nang, we met 2 very noisy and smelly German tourists drinking endless beers and smoking non-stop cigarettes on our bus, until one passenger knocking his chair from behind say would you please stop smoking, then later we stop for lunch, these 2 Germans started drinking again, talking as loud as WCW wrestlers from this table acrossing that table, one of the table they met an American couple, a good opportunity to perform their talking skills now, the German guy said something like 'Look at what the American did here during the war, I really really hate those American politicians...bomb here there...' another guy from another table walk to the German saying something like be quiet then they started a war, the German said 'I hate stupid people, you know stupid peoples....' I was sitting there watching the show also listening to those stories.

Favorite thing: Shop around for your tour. I found that even though I booked through another company for $10, I still ended up with a $5 tour by camel travel. Everything was exactly the same.

Favorite thing: There are many of them around Hoi An. Some of them are nicely kept, others maybe neglected.

Fondest memory: walking on the beach at sunrise

Fondest memory: One evening, I happened to be walking along the riverfront at sunset and caught some great scenes on my digital camera. Unfortunately, my SLR had run out of film!

Favorite thing: The Old Quarter of Hoi An is along the waterfront on the north bank of the Thu Bon River. It is one of the prettiest places in Vietnam.

Favorite thing: Spend some time to explore the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to look at the beautiful architecture of the old, Chinese Merchant houses.
