Hey Guys, Posting from Hoi An, Vietnam this round.
A city of Vietnam, on the coast of the South China Sea in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It is located in Quang Nam province and is home to approximately 120,000 inhabitants. It is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Hoi An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century.
It is said that there is 1 tailor shop here for every 220 inhabitants.
The flags of socialism
There is a large river running through the center proving an amazing ambiance at night with all of the lights
Lanterns are on sale everywhere
The ladies look about as old as the buildings do, they lug fruit around for sale
