Two nights in Hoi An

Hi there,

I will be in Ho Chi Min for two nights in a an organized trip on next march.

Normally I prefere to escape from the tourist traps because I like to talk with locals, without having the sense that they just want to sell me something or just a tip.

I would like to have typical food and handicrafts.

I think I will have some hours left, so where should I go to eat and shopping ?

Of course I should visit some markets, where are they, name and what I can find on them ?

Thank you

In Hoi An,

I think you should check out ';the secret garden'; its kind of hard to get too, but the food is really good %26amp; the evironment was really nice..I don%26#39;t have the address or anything, but I do see a couple of reviews for it on the restaurant forum. see if that helps.
