I am staying
in a 4-star hotel! Why? Because to get 5-star status in Vietnam, you need a
nightclub or discotheque!
The weather
this morning was APPALLING! We drove down to Hoi An to visit A Dong Silk – THE
tailor in town. There are 400+ tailors in the town … but A Dong offers the
finest quality…albeit at a higher price.
I met with
the owners Do Thai Tran and his wife who have been in the business since they
were children. Hoi An has been the capital of clothing in Vietnam for over 400
years.
I was fitted
for a new jacket … the result you will see on Sunday!
From there
we headed to Vy Diem Trinh … Miss Vy … one of the greatest chefs in Vietnam.
She started cooking when she was 10 …
Her restaurant
– Morning Glory – is the top restaurant in Hoi An … and the owner is just delightful.
The
afternoon offered stunning weather and we filmed until our socks thinned! Time
for new socks!
