The little things

It's kind of funny. In both China and Vietnam you can buy anything your heart desires. For instance we are now in Hoi An, a small town with over 500 tailors eagerly awaiting to make you whatever you wish. The only thing we have had a problem buying (which hasn't been a problem of late, given the floods) is sunscreen (that's suncream for you Brits). We have only been able to find one type of sunscreen in both countries and the largest bottle comes in at 75ml. Most of the time it is sold with skin whitening cream.

For nations that are so obsessed with having pale skin (you can buy massive bottles of skin whitening cream everywhere) I can't understand why they wouldn't sell larger bottles or different varieties of sunscreen.

So anyone who is planning on heading to either of these countries in future BRING SUNSCREEN. Or if anyone who has travelled to Vietnam and knows where we can buy decent sized bottles of sunscreen please do tell.
