Anzuege, Hosen, Schuhe, Jupes, Hemden, Hochzeitskleider.. Was man sich auch immer gerne mal massschneidern lassen wollte, hier in Hoi An kann man alles kopieren lassen, was die neusten Kollektionen der internationalen Designer zu bieten haben - zu Mini-Preisen versteht sich. Die Vietnamesen sind generell die Meister des Kopierens, seien es Schnittmuster, Lonely Planets oder beliebte Budgetunterkuenfte, die ploetzlich 5-fach geklont werden. Ein Copyright existiert in der Gesetzgebung nicht. Nicht nur shoppingtechnisch hat dieses Staedtchen mit 200 Schneidergeschaeften viel zu bieten (wir sind uebrigens standhaft geblieben). Hoi An's Altstadt ist Unesco Welterbe und dementsprechend gibt es unzaehlige alte, romantische Haeuser, Tempel und chinesischen Versammlungshallen und sogar eine japanische Steinbruecke, die man besichtigen kann. Auch das Angebot an guten Restaurants zum Schlemmen ist riesig. Bereits kitschig schoen bei Tag verwandelt das Licht hunderter Lampions die Gaesschen am Fluss in eine Maerchenkulisse. Und als ob dies nicht schon genug waere, um unsere Sinne zu erfreuen, kann man 20 Minuten vorbei an Reisfeldern und Kokospalmen radeln und findet einen wunderschoenen, fast leeren Sandstrand. Wir fuehlen uns wie im Disneyland und wollen hier gar nicht mehr weg!
Suits, trousers, shoes, skirts, shirts, wedding dresses.. Everything you ever dreamed of having tailor made you can get in Hoi An, including the newest collections of international designers, for very low prices of course. The Vietnamese are the masters of copy, be it concerning clothes, Lonely Planets or popular budget accomodations, which are cloned 5 times. A copyright doesn't exist in this country. Not only shoppaholics love the town with its 200 tailors (we successfully resisted by the way). Hoi An's old city centre is a Unesco World Heritage with dozends of ancient, romantic houses, temples, Chinese assembly halls and even a Japanese stonebridge to visit. The selection of good restaurants to treat ourselves is also huge. Already cheesy by day the light of hunderts of lampions converts the alleys by the river in a farytale scenery. And as if all this wasn't enough to enlight our senses, when you bike past rice paddies and coconut palms for 20 minutes and you find a beautiful almost empty beach. We feel like in Disneyland and don't want to leave anymore!
