Tova's Paradise

Since we have managed to take refuge from the torrential rain (see above!) in an internet cafe, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to write about the town we have been staying in, Hoi An.

[Insert 3-hour power failure here. Now to continue...]

Apart from its amazing food, Hoi An is best known for its tailors. It seems that there are more tailor shops here than all of the other shops put together. Tailors here are said to be able to whip anything up for you within a few hours, from a t-shirt to a business suit. And one is truly spoilt for choice - there are so many fabrics and designs here, that after a while it all blurs together and your head begins to hurt.

Anyway, we decided to test the theory and get a couple of things made... and the results have been amazing! Depending on which shop you go to (of course), the staff are highly professional and the workmanship is excellent. Where changes have been necessary, they have been made so that everything fits perfectly.

I recommend it to anyone travelling in this part of the world.
