Sorry Im breaking up the flow of my travels but my trip in Asia will come to an end soon and I wanted to make sure that I didnt forget to finish up my posts from previous trips. Although it rained heavily that day, I still had fun and visited some of the most beautiful gardens [...] On my fabric shopping excursion last week, when I went to Ba Ria with Di Nam, I had nuoc mia(sugarcane drink). This is a treat for me because I only get fresh squeezed nuoc mia in the states when Tet rolls around. It’s sold every year at most of the hoi cho. My aunt, Co Thom seems [...] The Culprit DISCLAIMER!! You should not read the following post if you have a weak stomach!! The other night I took my Aunt and her friend out to celebrate a belated International Women’s Day (Phu Nu Quoc Te), which is held on March 8th of every year. IWD is apparently a big deal [...] Vietnamese karaoke singer Last night I did something that anyone that knows me would be shocked by……I went to a karaoke bar. A friend had been bugging me to go with him and a group of his friends for awhile….and so in another effort to try to be more social I agreed. No….I did not [...] Junk Food Night!! This is actually my after dinner snack. I was pretty good about avoiding eating junk food the 1st month I was in Vietnam….but ever since I discovered the Oreos hidden on the back shelf of my local Sieu Thi (Supermarket) I’ve been on a junk food kick ever since. This is nothing [...] Cafe Sua Da…ok, but not the best drink I know that many tourists and locals alike become addicted to Vietnamese Iced Coffee (cafe sua da)…and I regularly see it cited as the drink that people most remember during their stay in Vietnam. My Aunt says she has to have an iced coffee in the morning [...] Shower and Bidet combo at my grandmothers house in Vung Tau So I’m in Vung Tau…staying at my late grandmother’s house. The people currently living here are distant relatives…they have been taking care of the house since my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago….and in return pay no rent for their services. Anyways, [...] Beautiful view at Binh Quoi ….however, the first 3 birthdays were before 1975….so I have no memories of them. At this time last year, my wife surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas…we stayed at the Bellagio…had a lot of fun; we even spoke about perhaps trying to have a baby in the following year. [...] I should've stopped eating at 20 I made the mistake of telling my Aunt how much I liked to eat steamed clams dipped in lemon, salt and pepper….so she goes and makes me about 4-5 pounds worth. This dish was one of the things I was most looking forward to eating once I came to [...] leftover birthday cake It wasn’t even very good. Yes I am a glutton. Related Posts:No Related Posts |
