Hoi An
On the 2nd day, we traveled to Da Nang (1hr flight from Saigon), en route to Hoi An.
It was good because Saigon is a hell hole as I mentioned. Hehe, now thats being very crude and tacky since some VN may love the place. Its just so polluted, crowded, and hot.. that it is hard to enjoy right away!
HoiAn is a small resort town (1hr drive from DaNang) that has some charm to it. The only complaint I had is that Boo decided we would stay in el-cheapo $15 / night hotels (1-2star) and they sucked ass. After traveling 3-5star all my life (preferrably 4-star all the time), it is hard to go back to 2 star. Its quite miserable. Booby and I were dying. Never again.. whats so bad?
Lets see... Bedding was nasty. Sheets are gross. A/C sucks. Room is tiny. Rooms smell. Bed was made of foam and felt damp. Mosquitos were abound. Booby was afraid of ghosts.
HoiAn is a major tailor town, they make everything. We went and got alot of crappy clothes made pretty cheap (for the most part). Bobby almost bought a suite for $380, but thank god he didn't because they were not the best fitting stuff since doing it in 12 hours means its hard to get it perfect. But most dress shirts were $10 which was a great deal and worth getting a few. I got a goofy cordouroy jacket for $25 and a wool mid overcoat for $50. Also a few linen shirts for $10 each.
There was one tailor that was charging way more than others. We went there, and bought shirts for $50 which now I think is ridiculous. Their suits were $380 (the one Booby almost bought), and linen shirts $28. Its funny, we bought orange linen shirts and they made it a long sleeve with cuffs! Now what kind of fool would wear a long sleeve orange linen shirt with cufflinks??? Geez man, these VN folk have no idea about fashion, thus its dangerous to leave any details up to them! If you are going to a tailor like that, you gotta know exactly what you want!
We went to a gay tailor and he wound up making alot of our clothes too fitted (tight). Why? Because he's gay, and thats how gay people wear clothes. Yeah its jacked up. Hehe.
