Hi All,
This will be a short one as I just have a few minutes on the computer as we are waiting for our taxi to the airport.
Last night we had dinner, just ok - a place recommended by the lonely planet guide, but then we sat on a street intersection in one of the many "bars" which is really just a bunch of tiny plastic chairs on the sidewalk and they hand you a bottle of beer. The beer was 450ml (1 pint) and cost 20,000vnd ($1dollar). Actually stayed up till about 11 enjoying the people watching and sitting on this plastic chair which I barely fit on. We did walk around a bit on our way back to the hostel, we were in the old quarter and they have a huge local night market which seems to sell mostly clothes, shoes, jewelry, and a few places that have hot noodle soup. Didn't buy anything b/c I was a bit overwhelmed at the number of people, and of course none of the clothes would fit me anyway.
Actually got a normal night of sleep 11pm - 8am ish last night, we woke up and packed everything up, checked out, went and got our favorite beef noodle soup (took some pics this time) and walked around the french quarter a bit. Sat and had some vietnamese coffee - very strong, drip espresso, but tasted wonderful and smooth. They kept coming over to help with the coffee and of course we can't communicate - I asked for sugar and they took the coffee away and brought back a different coffee with a packet of sugar on the side. Interesting. Then we just walked around for a bit and came back here - soon we'll be off to Hoi An!
