So when the new bus finally left, we had a good 8 hours delay. We normally would arrive in Hoi An at 6 am today, but we only arrived at 2.30 pm. It was a bumpy ride, sometimes got thrown up in the air for 5 cm :) But still, once the bus was moving, it was okay. Everyone was just so tired, that we all slept during most part of the remaining night. Once the sun was up, the busdriver started to hunk his horn again. We really think that they just learn it that way at driverschool. Look in your 3 mirrors and honk as much as possible, just for safety ;) I got up one moment and wanted to ask the driver how long it still was to Hoi An. He was on his phone, and there was no one on the road at that moment, still he honked his horn, just an automatic thing I think :)
When we arrived in Hoi An, we went looking for a hotel. Harder then we thought. A lot of hotels were full or they charged way to much. Finally we found one for 15USD/night and found out that almost everyone from our bus who got off in Hoi An stayed there, or were still coming in. Funny... Because there was some kind of bonding between the passengers of that bus, I wonder why ;)
Payed a first visit to tailors after that. Another (not so) nice Vietnamese guy crossed our pad: I had found a dress on the iternet that I wanted a tailor to make for me. So we went looking for a place where we could print it out. I asked the girl a couple of times how much it costed for one paper printout. I even checked in Vietnamese: 2kDong/paper. After we printed it out, another guy said we had to pay 4kDong. Well, no, the girl said 2kDong! The guy went agressive on us without any warning and
started to yell 'fuck you' at us. Okay, no problem mistah! Here's your paper back, and no money, GOODBYE! This time we just started to laugh when we were out of his shop... we just can't be getting chocked or mad anymore. It's just beginning to become to ridiculous. So much in a row and so many stories from others.... Well let's just enjoy the nice Vietnamese people and ignore the rest (although easier said then done sometimes ;) ).

Heeft wel een feeërieke sfeer met al die lampjes, en lampionnen, is dat altijd zo daar?
