| Thousands of tiny silk worms chow down on mulberry leaves. |
Globetrotter
After lunch we headed off into the old town part of Hoi An. One of our first stops was at a silk shop where we saw displays of thousands of very young silk worms eating mulberry leaves, the silk cocoons being spun out into silk thread, silk thread being woven into material, and finished suits, dresses, and lanterns. The process was enthralling, and the finished products were beautiful!
