The People of Hoi An
Men, Lady, the tailors, and a fermented death drink: why holidays off the beaten path are about people.
Maybe they only loved us for our money, I think they just couldn't get over the beard though.
The best part of holidays off the beaten path are the people. In such a short period of time they can change your life and you can only hope that you changed theirs a little bit.
On top 'Men' and 'Lady' (actually their names) took care of our airbnb, got us anything and everything we needed from bikes to ponchos to city tours. Lady made us breakfast Pho every morning and brought her kids and friends around the house between cooking and cleaning. #bestphointown
Bottom right were our ladies who made us some amazing clothes. We visited them multiple times a day and almost brought them out drinking with us to the bar (2 of them really really wanted to). We had lunch with them and would pop by just to say hi whenever we were driving by. Best tailors in Hoi An hands down, or maybe I'm just saying that because they called me the 'handsome man that came from the sky'. #strokemyego #itsjustabeard
Bottom left was the family in the middle of no where that served us a giant bowl of noodles and God only knows. We chugged glasses of I have no idea with the dad in the back who tricked us into drinking some weird sh*t. They barely spoke English but they sure loved having guests and serving us their home made fermented death drink.
A perfect little holiday (from the holiday) off the beaten path in Hoi An. If you're heading there anytime soon hit me up so I can introduce you to some of my new and amazing friends.
We're at the airport back to Hong Kong for 2 more days before the long trip home.
