Hoi An - Paper Lanterns and Stuffed Squid, Hoi An, Vietnam
Ok, so if I’m honest Hoi An was the highlight of Vietnam for me* (the disclaimer here being that my trip to Sapa was completely rained out, so I reserve the right to update this later).
The most stunning town/city, everything in walking distance (pretty much), and so much to see and do.

But that being said, there were more tailors and cobblers in Hoi An than you could wave your credit card at (I’m actually not sure that that makes sense, but why would you poke a stick at them?). ......
