Vietnam. Land of rice noodles & yummy spring rolls! LOL. I've only been there once and luckily we had a Vietnamese/American tour guide with us (Captain's wife). She took us out to eat twice so that we could try everything Vietnam had to offer. I don't remember the names of anything as I was too busy stuffing my face to pay attention. Note: All this was for 6 of us not just me!
My usual. Grilled pork over rice vermicelli noodles
Mmmm Spring Rolls
Previous pictures were of the dinner we had after we had landed from our flight. What a story and a half that was. After that meal where we got to try a bit of everything, the restaurant accused us of stealing. We had paid the bill and left a huge tip. Somehow after they gave us our change they realized they were short of money. They had kept the restaurant open for us and they claimed that before we got there their cash till had balanced. After we ate apparently they were missing money. ?!?!? After arguing for about 30 minutes and showing them repeatedly our crew allowances with a set amount of money and the bill, we proved that we had paid our share PLUS left a tip. NOT a nice way to end the night. Then on our short walk back to the hotel 2 crew almost got robbed by the bikers zooming by on the streets & sidewalks. Luckily they were successful in holding on to their purse & camera!
Another crew & I were going to go sightseeing the next day but decided after all of that we would just stick with the rest of the group and just go eat & hang out the next day. Lunch was at a really pretty restaurant and was really good.
Can't come to Vietnam and not have authentic Pho!
After lunch we hopped in a taxi and did a mini tour of the city.
A little bit of Canada :)
Poster. Wishing I was there!
Overall a great trip to a new city. I would definitely watch out for pick pocketers if I visited again though. I'd also try to make it to all the other tourist attractions such as the War Museums.
