A Numbered Guide to Hoi An
(as I know it so far.)

1. the old buildings, the old windows, the old doors, the old boats, the river (which is old).
2. the beach; about 30 mins bikeride from the town...just long enough for me to burn my neck.

3. the beautiful rural land around the town ...
(though I must admit, it seemed even the buffalo were used to tourists!)
4. the market; even though it smells pretty sick I am happy to put  up with it to get photos like this -
buy your birds, alive or dead...
'i'm sorry, you might need to buy a larger shopping bag to fit this baby'

4. the tailors. 350 of them. I went to the one they went to in Top Gear, ha. 

 (it may be relevant to mention at this moment that I learnt to ride a motorbike yesterday)
SCORE!

5. The conical hats!
A lovely illustration of how trad-vietnam is alive and thriving here in Hoi An
