We arrived in Danang around 23:40 and were picked up by a cab sent from the small resort we are staying at in Hoi An City. We arrived at the resort at 00:40. It is a small family run resort with six rooms. This morning we found that most of the people here were from Australia and France.
This morning we went into town where Sandra visited a tailor shop recommended by our hosts and ordered two blouses and a pair of Capri pants that will be made to measure and ready tomorrow. The cost was $75.00 US. I will report on the quality and fit after Sandra has received them. They also offered men's dress shirts handmade to size for $15.00 US. To bad I'm still not working I could have changed my complete wardrobe of dress shirts for under $100.00. We then visited the local market area and were offered everything from exotic fruits to foot massages and pressure acupuncture.
Sandra had something done called threading it removes hair similar to waxing but they use a thread and a crab like motion with their hands to catch the hair and pull it out. It was bizarre but Sam liked the finished work. Her whole facial area was done for $12.00 US. She could of had a manicure and pedicure for $2.00 US. One can live quite cheaply in Vietnam. A 15 minute cab ride cost us $1.60 US in a brand new Toyota Rave.
