After work in the morning at my language school, I then had to go to another campus for a meeting to learn about teaching in Vietnamese public schools, specifically in middle schools.  I begin teaching Middle School on Monday, so it was really useful, although my schedule was incredibly confusing. I’m sure I’ll eventually figure it all out!  I’m slightly nervous about teaching classes with 50-60 students in them though! :/

In the evening, I ended up meeting with a new Vietnamese friend who I met a couple weeks ago (her mom sold me banh mi sandwiches for Patrick and me).  We chilled in a cafe, had green tea strawberry and chocolate frappes (yum!) and got to know each other a bit.  She says she’ll introduce me to some good places in the city, including a good board game cafe!

My dish of the day comes from a local street vendor – Com tam: a rice (com) dish where you choose the proteins to go in it. I chose BBQ chicken and got it served with rice, bean sprouts, a chili-oil dip and a side chicken broth soup with potatoes and carrots.  The flavour of the soup reminded me of home – mom’s chicken soup :) Here’s a shot of my dish of the day:
