My new favourite drink is...

soda chanh, which is lemon (limes), sugar or sugar syrup, soda water. If you're somewhere stylish, this is how you get it. And I can order it in Vietnamese. (Well, one word is VN!) M and I are still working on our theory that the faster you say something, the more likely you'll be comprehended. When we foreigners say something slowly we (unintentionally) add all sorts of extra tones. Not good when you're learning a tonal language.




We came upon a unique figurine shop on our travels today. Take in a photo of yourself and the artisans will make a 'mini you.' Hehehe. 





We had lunch at a place opposite the War Remnants Museum. Through the doorway there's a large dining area. You could easily walk past it without even noticing. 


M had beef and rice, while I had 'China soup' with pork, quail egg and a prawn. Both good, mine was excellent. 



And some news on the job front: I'm going to talk terms with someone tomorrow, so fingers crossed!
