Today I went to the silk village in the south of Hanoi with someone from work. I now have so many scarves!!

I got the bus down to Hanoi university, which is near where Minh lives. She then drove us the rest of the way out to the silk village. We browsed in heaps of shops, and saw some silkworms as well as the machines that make all the pretty silk designes. I found so many cool types of scarves that I've never seen before - ones with two different coloured thin pieces sewn together with butterflies sewn in between, really nice embroidered scarves with two different colous on each side, sparkly scarves, multi-coloured scarves with really strange textures just so many scarves! What's even better is that they're all so cheap! Yu=ou can buy some for under £2, and even the more intricate fancy scarves that would cost heaps back home are only a few pounds here. Primark prices for much more than Primark quality!
