Hoi An

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you are having a good week so far. 

Today our Vietnam trip continues and I am excited to share some of Tj’s pictures from Hoi An. 

Tj went to Vietnam for work a week before I got there. He had a conference in Hoi An and I am so jealous that I didn’t get to go there. It looks so beautiful.

Here are some things I learned about Hoi An from online here:

• Hoi An means peaceful meeting place

• It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Japanese, Chinese, and European influences

• It has been called the Venice of Vietnam because of the canals

• Every year during monsoon season the streets flood

• Bikes are very popular. Motorised traffic is prohibited in Old Town from 9am-11am and 3pm-9:30pm.

• During the full moon, locals and visitors light small paper lanterns and send them floating down the river

• Hoi An is known for their tailors - try Yaly Couture - Tj got some great suits made there!

Have a great week :)
