Just a very quick post to tell you about an experience I had this evening whilst investigating what we should have for dinner.
We were trying to do a cheap, authentic Vietnamese evening, for our last night in Hanoi (and Vietnam), so we had some 'bia hoi' (cheap draught beer) at 3,000 dong a glass (25,000 dong to the pound) and decided to investigate the adjacent noodle stand. As I went over to enquire what the dishes were, and how much, I saw a rat sneak up behind the woman, put his paws on the edge of a bowl of chili dip and lean in to have a taste!
Needless to say, we decided against street food tonight, and went to a restaurant instead!
I guess it's one of those where you had to see it, but it certainly tickled me. As a brief epilogue, as we left the stand, we saw the woman covering up what remained of her chili sauce with a newspaper.
More on our journey from Saigon up to Hanoi and beyond in a day or two when we are in a position to upload photos.
Next stop is a visit to Apple Technical Support on Lamma Island in Hong Kong - there may be beer involved there too.
Bye for Now.
