usual saturday


A selection of breakfast fruits

Saturday - some washing, a bit of shopping, out for coffee - and the footy on TV. M is very happy to discover that he will see more Crows matches here, thanks to Australia Network (tv station).  

Dinner was pho ga (chicken noodle soup) from one of the local eateries. The waitress didn't respond to our attempts to speak Vietnamese, wanting to practise her English, and was doing well until she served our meals and commented 'Have a good taste.' (So much better than 'Enjoy your meal'!) I love it when 'mistakes' actually improve communication. Yesterday walking around the markets I was handed a number of leaflets for massage/beauty salons, one of which offered 'Shampoo, Massage and Cry' for a mere $10 an hour. I know there's a market for that.
