It's all coming back to me now....

Thit Cho - Doggy

A vietnamese delicassy which is typically eaten at the end of the lunar year to wipe away any bad luck. Never tried it, never will.

SnakeWine - YESSSSSS!

Found almost everywhere in Vietnam is this bottle of rice wine with a pickled cobra inside. It's been said to have some health benefits as well as being termed, Vietnamese Viagra, by some of the locals I met.

Bia Hoi - Hmmmmm Beer

Notice the price of this beer per glass(1500d = $0.10USD), which is delivered fresh everyday to street stalls everywhere around Hanoi. How do I know it's fresh? Because the vietnamese men and tourists, like myself, drink it more than they drink water.

Bia Ha Noi

A good substitute for my first love, Bia Saigon.

Dragonfruit

Only one word...HEAVEN! Best fruit in the world...period.

Hang Be Street Market

Dead or alive, you'll find it in here.

Pineapples and Bananas

She tried to sell me one or the other every time I saw her. I finally gave into her pleading, but wondered why I waited so long. The fruit here is amazing and costs about $0.30 for a freshly carved pineapple....Yes, the whole damn thing!

School kids

One of my favorite pictures.

I found your journal when I was looking around for information about Hoan Kiem lake to finish my project. As an Vietnamese,I find your comment very interesting,especially the "beer" part.May be it's because you're a man...I want to be a traveler like you so badly,but I'm (really) too young.May be some day we'll meet each other in Bangkok,or right in Hanoi at my place and drink Halida ^_^.Hug.
