I find the locals here in Hoi An friendlier. Well, maybe not friendlier but certainly, less perseverant. One 'no' and they won't ask you again. And now that I think about it, they are indeed friendlier here - helping you despite not making any profit out of it.
Also, French is used here more than English. So maybe it's not commonly used anymore but the old folk still speak fluent French of a certain level of proficiency. Their basic English pales in comparison. But no worries, at least I get to learn some French from the Frenchies (although it is weird to see them conversing at ease with the locals whilst I stand around like a fool despite the fact that I come from Southeast Asia myself!)
