Hoi An is a delightful little town. Yes, there are lots of tourists, but they are all walking slowly through the Old Town, since vehicles are kept well outside. We visited the market, which without doubt, is the cleanest, tidiest market in the whole of Asia. The selection of fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers were astounding. People were very friendly but they are tough negotiators.
The architectural influence is very much that of Chinese shophouses. We lunched at the Morning Glory, and enjoyed a very good bun cha and ban quonh.
Bumped into 2 French cycle tourists from Perpignan, which was very obvious the moment he said, 'demain'! We got some information on road conditions in Cambodia.
