Lights of Hoi An

We arrived in Hoi An this afternoon, to a very lovely Airbnb in the old city. It’s a gorgeous city filled with lights and lanterns and TOURISTS! A lot…a LOT of tourists. This place is famous both for its lanterns and for its tailors. Apparently you can get custom made clothes made in a day very cheaply.

It looked like some sort of huge festival, but this is every night here.Read more
