Ahoy, Hoi An

Posted on March 29, 2011 by KK

Hoi An, Vietnam
March 24th 2011

Small town about 4 hours north of Nha Trang. It maintains a very old traditional feel to it thanks to its location beside a river and the old Chinese-esque homes and shops that line the streets. The more I see Vietnam, the more I think of China. Prior to sometime in the 1940s, Chinese writing and architecture was used.

There are *plenty* of tailors around here, ready to make anything you want at good prices.


(My new business in Hoi An. I’m the next Vera Wang.)

Also, Hoi An has a specialty noodles called ‘cao lau’ which can only be authentic here because the water used to make the noodles has to come from a particular well here in Hoi An. There’s also “white rose” (ban bao vac ) which is wanton skins topped with shrimp. Stuff I hadn’t eaten before so it was good experience trying them out.

After walking around the historic Old Town, there wasn’t much else to do so I left after one night.
