What a mentle place! Its got everything you could ever imagine, city, beach, swimming pools, shopping, motorbikes. the hotels were amazing absolutely spanking for a pound or two a night, the food was cheaper and tastier than you could ever imagine and ya could get anything in the world tailor made.

and thats how it all began, the greatest couple of days in the worrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllld.

You have never seen someone so excited as i when i walked into the suit shop and began 'inventing' the greatest suit in the world..
You want pinstripes they got pinstripes, you want waist coat they got waist coat,
Red silk lining, the brightest red in the world, SOLD... Pockets linned red, the brightest red tie in the world.
Can i have a button here for no reason, sure ya can. can i not take the advise of the tailor and insist on the brightest red silk lining vietnam has ever seen - hell yeh i can.
Can i talk about red so much that you will proabably think the whole thing is red.. yes i can .. am i going back one day to get some nuts suits with the stupidest colours you could imagine made for no reason.. yes i am.. !!
Can the tailor take me to her sisters shoe shop (i give you good priiiiiiiiice i give you good leeeeeeeeaather) so i can design my own shoes.. yes i can.
Two tone leather, yup, some stiching here and there yup, My initials on the tongue, just because i can. Hell Yeh!!!


The one other thing that made this all complete was shandy.
Shandy was a honda, she hit 70 kpm on an open vietnam road following the sun set, took me to the beach, showed me the whole of hoi an, showed me the way to see the world.
Skills are developed on these things and boy have got some now.. if only england was suitable for scooters.. what a special place it would be..
Park her where ya like, no rules... only the horn.

My skills where put to the test on the second day ripping across the gravel to the beach on waverider-x . waverrider x was my second bike, i kept her name because it was cool as.

Whilst headin to the beach with one passenger on the back, a local chap riding alongside said i was a good driver.. it made my day... what skills i must have had.. legend..
Shortly my satisfaction hit an anticlimax as i noticed the local chap had his baby on the handle bars, his son behind him and his wife right on the back... four on one... clearly he was better than I.

Many thanks Hoi an. I will be back.
That goes to you too impressionsboutique, happy soles, waveriderx and of course.. Shandy.
