GROCERY SHOPPING IN HOI AN

Now just to test uploading videos on the blog ... way back in May this year, we went down to the markets in Hoi An ... so I guess this is their version of Coles / Woolies .... was interesting ... and hot ... and wet ... the aisles weren't as organised as we're used to ... nor are the prices advertised ... Actually, the prices were Öh here comes a tourist .... mark everything up by 500% ... and so the bargaining begins ... it can take an hour to make one purchase ... it's soooo exhausting ... but so much fun.

And so, we're getting organised: Vegemite: tick ... good shampoo and conditioner: tick, Tim Tams: tick, BBQ Shapes: tick, Visa: tick, Tickets: tick, Anti-Nasty Diseases Injections and medications: tick, Accommodation: tick ..... thanks Madam An for giving us a great price for our rooms .... in the heart of the old town: Hoang Trinh Hotel ... we're crossing our fingers that it lives up to the promises!

Anyway ... only 5 weeks to go now ... sooooo excited ....
