Customer Travel Tip: If you want tailoring, allow yourself at least a few days so you can do multiple fittings
Liked: Some nice food joints offering good value for money; just about every bar has a pool table and so did the hotel bar; some good tailors from what I hear if you do your research
Disliked: Moto man stole some money off me; a lot of the shopkeepers would try to charge ridiculously high prices when they see you're a tourist e.g. one suggested 600,000 dong for some really low quality shorts; not loads to do there apart from get tailored clothing.

Customer Travel Tip: Go to RED BRIDGE!!
Liked: The buildings are really beautiful. There are a few good restaurants. The Red Bridge cooking school is by the far the best thing I did in Hoi An and I would highly recommend you spend your money on this. IT IS AMAZING.
Disliked: I disliked the stress around the central market. That area has so much potential. I was stupid enough to go into a tailors shop where I ended up paying way too much for a dress, which wasn't done correctly and had to be changed four times, which really annoyed me as I had a fitting each day. STAY AWAY FROM THE TAILORS AT CENTRAL MARKET. Go to a tailor on Cua Dai, where I went and got a dress and a skirt made to absolute perfection for half the price of what i paid for one item at the central market.
