Well! I’m a few days behind for blogging. Hoi An was an amazing town, and we were fortunate to have a full rest day to play around and enjoy the city. The city itself is a girl’s paradise. One almost every street there is a tailor shop where they will custom make any clothing that you want, overnight (or faster if you are leaving soon). Louise went crazy and got a bunch of pairs of pants made, and a dress shirt. Andy was set on getting a custom suit made for his wedding, and I had mentioned that I would possibly be interested in also getting one made. He made a joke about me getting it in red, and I really liked the idea and decided to get one. Andy has some of the pictures, so hopefully I can get them from him soon to post here. The suit is amazing, and they do a really good job. In the end, it cost $80, which is cheap for a custom made to order suit using material of my choosing. Louise also got a skirt made of the same material so we can go to parties and have matching clothing. Andy got his suit (including a dress shirt) and a pair of jeans copied from a favorite pair that they brought from home. Irene also got some matching jeans from an old favorite pair and a cute jacket. Jason got a nice casual jacket with a killer red lining. Hein got a bunch of cloths too. It was a lot of fun just thinking of the possibilities and the fact that they custom make everything for you.<\/p>\n
Late last year Louise and I had discovered a cool light shop in downtown Santa Cruz called “Om Gallery”. They make a lot of oriental looking lights made out of fabric. We like them a lot, and bought a nice one for our dining room area and den area of the house, but they were rather expensive. We also knew that they get their lights made in Vietnam, so I expected to see light shops in town and we were not disappointed. We bought a few more lights for our bedside tables. We have yet to figure out how to get them home, and we will probably end up buying some more luggage in Siagon.<\/p>\n
Another great thing about Hoi An is that Hein (Jason H.’s girlfriend) has family in the town. So, we went for an excellent family-style dinner at her family’s restaurant, and it was killer! They treated us really well, and the Vietnamese are very hospitable.<\/p>\n
