The first day in Hoi-an we went to a tailor to get measured for clothes. Today was the final fitting and shipment home.

Hopefully when we get them home they will look good. I always get buyers remorse, but at 1/3 the cost of back home its too good to pass up. They are done very quickly so not perfect but good enough I hope.

Nice top Lisa had made

 

We went to a silversmith to look at jewelery. Apparently the lady in the shops daughters sell some of the pieces at some Sydney Markets (not sure which)

The silver smiths in Hoi-an make everything in house.
