Although my day and afternoon were pretty blah (I was
stuffed up and had a sore throat, was stressed, didn’t eat enough, was
dehydrated and was over-heated), my awesome colleagues at my language school
made me feel much better – I felt so supported! What a great groupJ
After work, a few of my good Vietnamese friends/colleagues
and I (aka The Hot Pot Team) went to a night market together! I bought a new
white shirt and a black skirt – a new teaching outfit. And for only 190,000vnd ($10), bargained down
from twice that amount, I’d say it was a pretty sweet deal!
After our trip to the
night market, our Hot Pot Team became a Street Food Team, determined to eat the
best street food in HCMC! We were close to Chinatown in District 5, so we
stopped for some Chinese Sủi cảo,
which is essentially big dumplings (with pork
and shrimp inside) in a bowl of delicious broth and veggies, such as spinach or
Chinese cabbage and green onions. It was
a perfect way to end a day that started off pretty miserably. Food solves all
problems, doesn’t it? |
