Xin Cao everyone,
Vietnam is simply amazing, and not least of all Hoi An. The Unicorns (Thomas, Gavin, Roman, Liam, Tim, Cody and Atrayl), are having a ball, and not just because we saw Unicorns playing with a ball at the Water Puppets in Hanoi. Apparently, here in Vietnam, the word Unicorm is synonymous with Lion, which sounds a lot more dignified, but Vietnamese Unicorns are nothing like the Western ones let me assure you.
Hoi An is a shopping, cultural and historical Mecca for us tourists, and four nights here in the Pho Hoi Riverside Resort are well worth the money. Suits and dresses galore are being tailored for everyone, while Wes is still looking for another pair of underwear. As we are approaching the final leg of our tour of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), money for some is now being rationed, and rightly so, because the markets in HCMC are huge, we are informed, and much money will change hands.
Tonight a fashion parade and mass court-martial will happen back at the Pho Hoi. I myself am up for numerous charges, mainly worst buy on the tour, but some girls have really spent up here in Hoi An, so maybe that's the only salvation I will have when it comes to my defence.
So this is a big goodbye from the Unicorns here in the sunny (very sunny) streets of Hoi An.
