Hoi An is a shopper's paradise. They have at least 100 tailors who will make you a custom made suit, or leather workers who will make custom made shoes, ties, table cloth, etc...you name it, they have and if they don't...they'll make it. Pictures show the city at night and some of the shops, people and surroundings including an old man without teeth sitting in a boat with a wide grin.
After exploring Hoi An for a few hours, I head back to our hotel, Gold Hotel, to shower and get ready for dinner. The hotel is quite nice and I must complement Intrepid Travel for the excellent accommodations that we have had; excluding the Hanoi to Hue Unification Express train.
We had nice dinner and I tried some of the local foods that Hoi An is famous for : cao lam - noodles topped with pork slices sprouts and greens in a hot broth, fried wantons covered with a crab salsa-like sauce and finally white rose - a steamed dumpling stuffed with a shrimp mixture. Total cost for dinner was under $9 including tip. Since we have an early morning bike ride to the beach, I head back to the hotel and go to bed at 10 PM.
