Happy Tet/Lunar New Year! I’ve literally JUST arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for 6 months of teaching, exploring and of course, eating! After a 30+ hour journey, followed by me mauling my boyfriend at the airport (after 4 months of being in different countries!), taking a taxi to the hotel, throwing my luggage in a corner and showering 30 hours of plane-y-ness off of me, I had a reunion with one of my university besties who happened to be traveling in Vietnam. We went out for dinner, but because it was Tet, the Lunar New Years, not much was open. We ended up eating fancy (but cheap by our standards) in a hotel. We were the only ones there! But we had a nice view of the neighbourhoods J
Here is my very first meal in this bustling and culturally-rich city. Chicken with a thick pineapple sauce with salad and sticky white rice.  I’d really like to learn how to make a tomato-flower... hmm
