Food:
The food in general was pretty tasty and made with herbs, spices, and vegetables. A relief after Cambodia!
Their biggest and most well known dish is Pho (pronounced f-uh). It contains a broth, rice noodles, herbs, and usually beef or pork. We loved it.
We also loved the spring rolls which were available either fried or fresh. Both very tasty, but the fresh ones were great.
Coffee was usually great here when done right. We liked it with condensed milk and over ice.
Places Visited (in order): Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, Hoi An, Hanoi, Halong Bay
Random Thoughts:
There are millions upon millions of motorbikes. You may have heard about this as we had, but it is hard to fathom until you actually experience it.
Women aren't afraid to wear hoodies, jeans, socks with their sandals, and masks to cover themselves head to toe in order to avoid the sun and prevent from darkening their skin. It was hard to find women's deoderant in Asia that did not have whitening in it!
The cities and most of what we saw was very developed. There wasn't the filth and poor infrastructure like we saw in Cambodia.
