I arrived in Hoi An last night via airport transfer from Danang. I'm staying at a homestay called Blue Clouds which is about as basic as it gets. For $12 USD per night, however, I can't complain. I ventured out looking for dinner and found this cute spot:
The food was bland and flavorless, but I've been spoiled lately as far as food is concerned. Anyway, after dinner I felt like exploring some more, so I walked to "the ancient town," which is the main attraction for tourists. It's easy to see why - it was absolutely magical. Unfortunately, the cell phone pictures aren't great (if those on my camera turned out better, I'll update with those when I can upload them). There aren't any motorized vehicles in the ancient town, which is awesome. Walking around at night, you feel sucked into a time warp. I have expected the beautiful warrior girl from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to leap across the rooftops (different country, I know).

It was a really beautiful night, and made me very excited to spend the next couple days in this lovely place!
