The night bus to Hoi An was one of the worst bus rides I've had thus far in SE Asia. I was unfortunately stuck in the last row meaning their were three other people sitting next to me (at one point in the night I woke up with the guy sitting next to me legs resting on the seat in front and to the right of me). I finally did arrive in Hoi An, which turned out to be a beautiful place that reminded me a lot of a European town. The first day I arrived I walked around to the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Chinese Pagoda, and other old houses that remain from the old trading town between the Chinese, French, and Vietnamese.
There is not a ton to do in Hoi An so, most of the time I spent either walking around town or just relaxing on the beach. One evening I met some people from Jordan who had been living in Hoi An for 5 months who showed me some fun places to go and things to do. I also had what was one of the best meals thus far: handmade spring rolls. First you took a piece of rice paper and filled it with lettuce, young banana leaves and cabbage. Then you added a fried spring roll, either grilled sesame pork or fish, rolled it up and dipped it in a peanut chili sauce. Glorious!! The woman who owned the restaurant absolutely loved me so I made sure to go back there two nights in a row.
