27 Dec - Hoi An
We then found the tourist office and paid about £3 for a city ticket to visit about 5 museums and landmarks. The Japanese Covered bridge was first then a very old family house all in the mixed styles of Vietnamese, Japanese and European. The guide led us round stopping at every opportunity to buy their embroidery or gift shop stuff.
Had some retail therapy finding the best t-shirt shop yet with a Bruce Lee noodles picture. Otherwise we explored more interesting sites, drank coffee, drank cocktails, ate cake until the fitting. Tailor wasn't ready so had to come back in an hour. More coffee and cocktails, WiFi and shopping. When we returned the dress needed a few adjustments and a 7pm pick up. We had planned to see the street entertainment (whatever that was). Again, when we returned they weren't ready so had dinner at the Cargo club. Dress was finally ready and fitted beautifully. At 9pm we took in some traditional entertainment of a live music, dance and song. It was bit like a large front room and some of the performers looked a little embarrassed otherwise it was a good value for an hour. The moustached bloke doing a poem and a slow kung fu dance was my favourite.
