Today was a day off, and I wasted it by sleeping in until 8. No point. I did get a banh mi with the works - all of it, liver pate, pork, fried egg, etc. - and it was fantastic. Fifty cents.
Imy took us around the city last night, to all the most happening parts of Can Tho, and to all the cool food spots. We actually went to "Food Street", where everything is cheap and delicious. Four of us road back there tonight and we stopped at a place near the canal, and it is great being the only foreigners around - people love to say hello. For dinner, we ordered blind from the menu. The only thing we knew that we were getting was the beer (fresh beer in big metal canteens). Adam ordered something "ga", which is chicken. Chicken feet. So tasty but funky. After that we tried to get fish something, but when the owner motioned to his stomach and esophageous, we said no and got squid and wild leeks over rice instead. Fantastic.
I took a video from my bike while moving, and it is too shaky to post, but the idea is there. I'll redo it and you all will freak out. Riding my bike is a daily thrill.
Off to kareoke with the locals, more beer and singing to be had. Classes early tomorrow, then a week of classes. How strange...
Try attaching your camera around your neck to reduce the shock and keep it steady. Or you can develop the helmet-cam. Film some karaoke too.
