Street Food of the Week - My Xao
Street food here is delicious. And since it makes up most of my diet (and to show my friends and family that there is food here besides snails and dog), I've decided to do a weekly street food post. This week it's My Xao (pronounced "me sow"): fried noodles with beef and vegetables.It's quite tasty, and I'm sure very good for you. You can also get Pho Xao ("fa sow"), which is basically the same thing except with bigger rice noodles. Both come with a side of slightly spicy, slightly vinegary, also tasty cucumber salad (see, it's good for you). With a beer, it'll set you back a whopping 30,000 VND (or about $1.75).

Bird Retraction
The very day after I wrote my last post, I was shat on by a bird. So I would like to print a retraction. The birds have spoken, they are in fact here.

Birds
There are literally no birds in this city. None. It's a little unnerving. What happened to all of them?? Since the only birds I have seen are the chickens and ducks at the market waiting to be purchased and made into dinner, my only answer is that they ate them all. Yet there are dogs everywhere....strange.

If I Were in San Diego....
I'd be checking this shiznit out:
Instead I'll be jetsetting off to Hanoi for the weekend. Which is barely cooler. (Ok by barely I mean a lot...but that has nothing to do with the coolness factor of the art show.)
