We’ve wandered around in the sweltering heat making some informative videos about Hoi An and it’s Asian culture. It’s really nice to see that not all Vietnam has lost it’s delicate [possibly] Buddhist culture. Hoi An and An Hoi and a real treat for the eyes, known as the sleepy city because lights go out at 10pm it’s a relaxed, delicate city with great people and food. The beer is super cheap too, always a plus!
