Feeling Right At Home

Trippin'.
The feeling you get when you first step foot on Vietnam soil-- the sight, the sound, the smell, of the place-- immediately let's you know that you're in for a ride that is both remarkable and utterly worldly.
There is nothing better than family hospitality and in our case, we've got some of the best family, distant or near, around. These next few blogs are going to be short and brief; we'll let the pictures speak for itself. One thing to know about Vietnam is that it is becoming more and more travel friendly and easy to get around. The newly renovated airport reflects the advancement the country is making to accommodate the current growth in tourism.
For us, this trip is about spending time with friends and families and soaking in the culture. Since neither of us were born here, we both have a sense of urgency to reconnect with our "home". On a lighter note, it's mostly all about the food! I don't think neither of us have ever had this much food in our lives. Lucky for us, Vietnam boast some of the most delicious, at times bizarre, cuisine in the world. Here, it is best to go with the locals. Suggestion-- Go for the one with the longest lines; the biggest crowd. You really can't go wrong. Happy eating!

Sleeping: Q's Grandmas' 4- story house.
Eating: Breakfast- banh mi op la (as seen above). A bonus-- get it with a side of pate and mini steak.
