It was the day we arrived in HoiAn. 'Shop, shop, shopping!' I said.We walked into a tailors shop. Mum, dad and I treated ourselves and got some things made but Zahn decided to save his money. I decided to buy myself a coat, a pair of shorts, some jeans, a sundress and a pair of boots. They were all hand made and fitted. I also got some scarves. It felt great to buy my own clothes.
Our next buy was DVD's. I got 12 of them.
Our favourite restaurant was 'Mr Linh'. When you walked in you thought it was one big street restaurant, but actually each long table was a different restaurant. There were 14 of them.Here we sampled HoiAn's specialties. One of them was the noodle dish; Cao Lau.
After that we went to the silk work farm. If you get a cocoon from a silk worm, put it in boiling water and unravel the thread, you can spin 300 metres of silk thread.
Down at the bottom of the stairs we saw a lady weaving cloth out of the silk thread.- Amber -
We bought presents in HoiAn and bartered hard! I bought 10 dragonflies for 60 dong. The people beside us were surprised because they had just bought 3 for 50 dong! A boy was walking around selling them.
For dinner i got steak and chips. It wasn't what you'd imagine! It was little bits of steak. I put them in a bread roll.
We went to this DVD shop and i bought heaps of DVD's.
HoiAn is an old city with lots of historical builings. There were small cobbled alleyways. The chinese lanterns in house and shop windows shone in the dark. The
windows, window shutters and doors were made of heavy wood (teak).- Zahn -
