First Pho

We dropped our bags after landing, did a quick freshen up, and hit the streets. There seems to be some kind of outdoor pho eating establishment every 10 stores and our guy took us to one that he's very familiar with. Quite the introduction to Vietnam... These shops have a tiny kitchen with low tables and chairs right on the sidewalk. Apparently when you are done with your napkin, your lime rind, or really any trash at all, you just throw it on the ground. I was pretty horrified but as we found out the next day, I think the mess we saw may have been caused by people being off work because of Tet. As we walked by it the next day, it did not look like this... But we enjoyed hanging out with the locals, every single seat was taken, and the pho was delicious.Læs mere
