http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14456
The BoBo Cafes found in other Vietnamese cities have nothing to do with the orignal in Hoi An - they are owned and run by different people who have 'borrowed' (SE Asian-style) the name!

Also, for a decent and inexpensive Hoi An tailor's shop try 'Mr Xe' at the bottom of the same road.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14456 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9166
For a very affordable price, you get the kind of accommodation many hardened Asia travellers have almost forgotten existed.

The all-but brand-new rooms are beautifully set out with carved ebony furniture and the bathroom alone is worth the charge.

That’s before you taste the food. Hoi An is not only Vietnam’s best-preserved old town but one of its culinary capitals too.

If you tire of the hotel restaurant, check out Tien’s just across the road for an even better choice of cheap but sumptuous Vietnamese fare.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9166 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8682
By the next day and for a few US dollars (I had a silk dress made for $12 and a suit for $20) you can get a whole new wardrobe made to measure, including shoes.

And if you overdo the shopping and run out of space in your bags, the local post office are experts in shipping parcels home.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8682
