A little about Hoi An

in Amazing Vietnam2 years ago

Everyone knows Hoi An is a magical combination of charm and history, art and nature. But did you know that the city's handicrafts have been admired for thousands of years? Ancient ceramics from Hoi An have been found as far afield as Egypt, rescued amongst other treasures from shipwrecks!

In the past, Hoi An also had a different name. At one point in its storied history it was called Faifo, but no one is 100% sure why. Some linguistics experts think it meant "A place where Japanese live" because back then the town was a popular spot on the trade route to Japan. One thing is certain, regardless of its name, Hoi An has always been a much-loved destination for locals and foreigners alike.

good news. my fiance will be very happy. I am here in Vietnam at this moment. We had nearly finnalised our wedding plans to wed here in Vietnam. But have to fly out tomorrow because the Vietnamese authorities are making all foreigners who came as tourists and were trapped by the pandemic, now have to leave. I came here on 23rd february 2020 and was trapped by the virus rules here in Vietnam. Renewing my visa every month and having to pay for it at 2.8 million dong a month. I missed out on the free visas as they only started after 1st March. I waited nearly 2 years to get married. My fiance retired in november 2021. Then problems arose with paperwork etc. But hopefully I will come back ASAP In March. Can people fly into Saigon on this new scheme?
