When?

When will we stop taking photos of food and foodstuffs? 
(Never!)
I'm sure this brand could work in Australia. 


We purchased a phone today as M's phone has been slightly broken for a while. We discovered that phone numbers have different costs because some numbers are considered unlucky. As the shop assistants serving us helpfully explained, "4=die". This did not sway us from purchasing a cheap number. Actually, the staff were great and sorted out the phone's battery, sim card and put the extra credit purchased on the phone for us. Even though I'm sure we were a great disappointment purchasing the cheapest phone in the joint! 

We went out for dinner tonight, heading for a restaurant carefully selected on the web because we were both feeling like pho. On the way, we saw another goat restaurant. There's one near us which we have to try before this one. 


Unfortunately, our restaurant of choice appeared to have been demolished, so we went to the next one along at Mười Xiềm and had bánh xèo (filled pancake) instead, which was excellent. Also tried some bánh khọt (small domed pancake), which I thought were like yorkshire puddings in texture. Tasty.
