vietnam...

Other than knowing that Hanoi is the capital, that Ho Chi Minh is a city where Jet Star Airlines flies to and that those gastronomically delightful verdant spring rolls of meat and veggies which are widely known to belong to their national kitchenomics, very little is known about the country called Vietnam in the gelatinous pulp called my brain LOL

( P.S. I ate a LOT of these palatable rolls of heaven in Hongkong and only recently knew they were Vietnamese in origin.)





Why the sudden interest? Why not the sudden interest when a friend has offered these to you????

















The real deal is a very close amigo has suggested coming to Vietnam for a relaxing time without the thought of work (which does not mean I'm not bringing the laptop LOL) while at the same time making the irresistible offer of easing my accomodation and gastronomic expenses (Not that I eat much LOL like the previous post's subject hahahaha). Vietnam is not an expensive place to live in presumably unlike Hongkong or Singapore but anything offered in aid to relieve me of financial stress for a lazy vacation is very much welcome!!!! I can imagine the sightseeing, swimming and photography I will be indulging in such a haven of a country.





What about you folks? What do you know about Vietnam? Please do tell what you can suggest from your firsthand experiences to the place. Or you can always report the firsthand experiences of your friends or friends' friends but it WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED if you REFRAIN from copy pasting from Wikipedia and Lonely Planet...I'm not too much of bitch am i? LOL





Please post your suggestions on the Comments page....I will love you for it and please follow the instructions above on how to post comments....Love y'all :D

Liisa,
I've never been to Vietnam, but used to have a Vietnamese GF in Hawaii. She used to make a soup called Phu that was very good. She also used to make fried wonton (something like Lumpia) cut them into bite size pieces, and we would put them on lettuce with noodles (like the thin pancit noodle), and bean sprouts, and roll it all up and dip it in some type of spicy sauce. It was good...
Hope that you have a great time in Vietnam. When are you planning to go?
