Discovering the world one step at a time

This was the prettiest town I visited in Vietnam. The old quater is full of 19th century buildings similar to luang prabang. It costs 120,000 per oerson to enter the old town but this lasts for the whole length of your stay and includes entry to all the museums and temples in the town. The most famous is the Japanese bridge. We also looked at the Chinese gathering halls. These buildings were heavily influenced by chinese culture. It sometimes felt like I might be in China. There are Chinese lanterns everywhere. I love the hats that the vietnamse wear, these are the triangle bamboo hats. Me and Oliver pur hased some of the hats. Its also possible to visit the beach from here and many hotels are springing up in this area. This is also the clothing making capital of Vietnam. Oliver had 2 suits made and I had 2 coats made for me. They are gorgeous and look designer! I shall be ordering more the moment I get home. We also had a half day and lovely lunch tour of a place called My son. This is an ancient ruins for the cham people. These are people wirh Indian decent as the temples were a mix of buddist and Hindu people. Our English speaking guide was really good at telling us all about this ancient society. The temples are from the 4th century so even older than angkor wat in Cambodia. It was a private day tour oragnised for us. We also had a lovely lunch by the river.
