Hoi An

Arrived in Da Nang which is the port and had a 1 hour drive into Hoi An. On the way we saw huge developments of 5 star hotels being built all along the beach front. Up until teen toy the land was empty then the communist government decided to allow people to buy the land and build private hotels. If you are Chinese you can't buy the land but if you are married to a Vietnamese girl she can buy the land for you to build a hotel. The beach is white sand and goes for miles. There is noun employment in Da Nang or Hoi An. There are no homeless people as the government has built apartments for the poorer people to live in. No beggars anywhere. We went to a marble factory and the sculptures were very good. Behind the factory us the marble mountain where they get al the marble from. We had 4 hours to ourselves in Hoi An. The shopping was very good and very cheap. I am impressed with the cleanliness of Virtnam and the progress it is making.
