any other night/a big dish of Pho [10 inch in diameter]...7 Dollars
comes w/a side of Bamboo Shoots, Basil & Lime
Anyone here know how to eat pho bo w/chopsticks & spoon besides me. 8-)
Have you ever had Vietnamese coffee ? I love it. It is one of the many things I liked about Vietnam.

Sounds great, Sec! I'll be trying Vietnamese soon. I'm introducing my family to all types of food.

I was in Ottawa only once on mission with a team of economists. We stayed at the Westin across from the Rideau Canal and not too far from your Parliament. It was November and there was already snow on the ground.

Have a look at this menu..it goes on and on and on [its all good]
You're right. That menu really goes on and on.
i spent a fair bit of time in both Hanoi and Saigon and ate at many dozens of restaurants....food everywhere was excellent.....even the street vendor food was great.....so can't really say about the "best" restaurant ......i can say, i love Viet Nam and would return anytime....i think my favorite country to visit overall...i was very impressed at the number of people that spoke english......from a supposedly closed country...must have been a hold over from the war ???
I have never been to a country where so few people speak English and I have been to both Hanoi and Saigon. I like the Vietnamese. Just don't piss them off and they are fine. You don't see the same type of foreigner in Vietnam as you do in Thailand I believe that this is for this same reason
Quote from: "Gary Oak"
which pretty much confirms what i suspected, that your travels have been confined to a few canadian china towns........and maybe those three books you read.....almost every server i spoke to could speak passable engrish in both cities......Hanoi, being a government city was better but Ho Chi Minh was pretty good as well....Viet Nam was closed to foreigners until just a few years ago and Thailand is the sex tourist capital of the world so of course they have different types of visitors....
You idiot I was there this year and in January 2004. It was not closed. Hanoi's former French area is impressive. The French must have lived like kings. They certainly exploited the indochinese to the breaking point for 150 years. I imagine Obviousli Stupid didn't know that though he was there and there and the war museum is very interesting as is the Hanoi Hilton
you read that somewhere...right........noice..hahahahahaha
I was also in Halong Bay and took a boatride aound the beautiful islands there. I got off on at least a couple of them and was able to take a short look about on them, I came accross the border from China on that trip and after all the problems that I h ad with robbers in 2003 in China I wasn't happy to see motorbike taxis waiting there on the Vietnamese side of the border.
