So this is my trip to Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh City, or whatever you want to call it. Above is a frog and some field mice. The restaurant was quite nice, and cheap. The frog and mice were about two dollars US each. The frog was kind of unpleasant- looks like just a dead frog, doesn't it? The mice weren't bad. Tasted like.....well, meat that looked like mice. Wish I had taken better pictures.
These three pictures are the madness that happened after Vietnam beat Thailand in the Suzuki Cup. The streets everywhere were jammed with motorbikes- which isn't unusual, as it is always pretty crazy, but there were more flags. Really, it was crazy.
And this is me drinking snake blood. The blood was better than the snake itself, which, as they say, tasted like chicken- very difficult to eat chicken, with the outside of some rich lady's purse and a lot of bones wrapped around it.
I have a million more pics, but I'll put them somewhere else. All in all amazing trip, but next time I'm taking more money. Should have known that just because a bowl of soup costs about a dollar that I would find a way to spend more than that. We ended up in Hong Kong on New Years with about 120 HK Dollars between the two of us. Enough for two small meals on the street and a couple of games at the video game place.
