I taught for a bit in the morning at my language school and
then had a couple hours free before I had to be back for a meeting (and they
had tons of fruit for us, yay!), so I relaxed a bit and grabbed some lunch.
After the meeting, I joined a few other native English teachers
from my language school for a beer at a nearby beer garden, then we decided it
would be cheaper and also more fun to grab a few convenience store drinks and
head out to a park to hang out for a while, listen to music and to enjoy the
late afternoon outside. Apparently you
can’t walk or sit on grass in Ho Chi Minh City because we got in trouble for
putting down our picnic blanket on the ground! Quite different from back home!
I think they just want to keep up and maintain the grass since there’s so much
concrete in big cities!
Afterwards, we grabbed some egg and com tam and met
some others at a nearby “Beer Pong” Bar. They have all the beer pong equipment
and giant manuals that describe a variety of different drinking games involving
ping pong balls and a table. The bar is actually called “Beer Pong” and it’s
nestled in an unassuming alley street that happens to be less than a 5 minute
walk from my house! So much to discover around here... So many hidden places!
Now... what you've been drooling for...
No, my dish of the day was not served at a fancy restaurant!
This Eggs Florentine (smoked salmon,
spinach, poached egg and buttery hollandaise sauce on top of a toasted English
Muffin) was cooked up by Patrick and I.
Makes me incredibly happy that I thought to bring a couple packets of hollandaise
sauce dry mix with me from home! Eggs Benedict/Florentine
is definitely my kryptonite. Mmmm.
Brings me down to my knees. Moreeeeee!!!
