Day 15 - Shopping & Last Supper


Today, I decided to let Anh Trieu and Chi Tim have the whole day to themselves, but we ended up having dinner together, so they only took and advantage of half the day .

In the afternoon, I went shopping with Anh Trieu's slave friend. This is him.

We pretty much motorcycled through all of Saigon. I bought a whole bunch of stuff... including this "prada" bag. Its real pretty, dont cha think?

Then we had hủ tiếu for lunch. Its pretty much Phở with a different broth.

A lady was sellin
g Chè chuối (banana dessert) right in front of us.

How could I resist with the aroma floating around in the air.
Delicious. Simply Delicious.

At night time, we had our last supper at this really popular restaurant. Look how crowded it was, and this was only part of the first floor (theres a 2nd floor too!)

Looks like plain old quail eggs, right?

Wrong, they were quail embryos, like Trứng vịt lộn aka balut (in tagalog). Tasted like it too.

Then we had heo sữa with Banh Bao for the last time (it's illegal to kill baby pigs in the US)

I realized that i like to take pictures with my food... baby pig head.
Prawn.

Rabbit! Tasted like meat. Nothing outta the ordinary.

Seafood Hot Pot.

Then we went to MTV, again.

We got reserved seats right next to the stage!

These girls made sure our cups were always filled to the top.

And that was the end of the night. Tomorrow, we leave. Boo Hoo.
