      LaCasona Hotel

      February 25 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      We've been able to check in early to our hotel at no extra cost (which means my day plans are void hahaha so we can play the day by ear) which is a pleasant surprise. The Hotel has all the basic amenities you need and a lot of power points. Wifi is good, the bed is not too firm (pillows are great so shouldn't have any issues sleeping), 2 air cons (one in the bedroom, one in living space) and lots of storage space. Also, a random surprise balcony that was not at all mentioned in the booking!Read more

      Zwilling Vietnam

      December 19, 2022 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      Heute fährt uns unser Fahrer Tuan mit dem Geschäftswagen zur Zwilling Vietnam Niederlassung wo unser Sohn Samuel als General-Direktor beschäftigt ist. Wir schauen uns die Büros an in denen einige Angestellte arbeiten, aber es ist nur ein Teil der insgesamt 40 Angestellten vor Ort, der Rest ist im Home Office. Hier in Vietnam werden Kochtöpfe und Besteck im Wert von ca. 50 Millionen Euro hergestellt. Kunststoffteile sollen noch dazu kommen.
      Zur Mittagszeit gehen wir bei einem deutschen Restaurantbesitzer Rindsrouladen mit Kartoffelbrei und Rotkraut essen. Lecker....      Read more

      Breakfast at Skymian

      February 25 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Our first meal in Vietnam at Skymian Coffee House. Bustling atmosphere with lots of people (basically our gage on how we pick restaurants for this trip hahaha). Food was Yummo and hit the spot. Michael had bánh mì xíu mại (pork meatball deconstructed Bahn mi) and I had bún bò Huế (Royal beef and pork soup from Huế). My smoothie was the Sweet Love smoothie and Michael had the banana. $17AUD all up. Tasty tasty.Read more

      The weirdest massage ever

      February 25 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      I decided to have an aromatherapy massage at a spa down the road from our hotel whilst Michael slept off some jetlag. I went in thinking I was having an aromatherapy session, you know, where they rub soothing oils and gently massage away your troubles.

      It's a good thing I'm a gymnast and flexible. Because this was not Australian aromatherapy. This woman pretzeled me in ways I did not foresee. Forwards, backwards, she used feet, knees, elbows, her head, her entire body at points. It was like as if an osteo session and a wrestling match were combined. I was twisted and cracked all over from my fingers, my neck, back, to my knees and toes. At one point I was practically in a bridge with her under me stretching me open ( the gymnasts will understand what this would look like). Throw in the fact that I'm also almost entirely naked during this whole session. It was surreal.

      Also, there was the cutest tiniest dog. Super random. Alas, despite the pain and sheer surprise of the whole thing, much of it was incredibly relaxing, and I came out ready for a nice jet lagged nap for a few hours before we head out again for some Korean hot pot (we are staying in district 7 which is basically HCMs Koreatown so figured we should get some Korean food whilst here).

      Late Lunch at The Train Restaurant!!!

      February 25 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 36 °C

      This place is adorable (and tasty). The premise is that you order your food and drinks and they come to you by mini train. There are a heap of gorgeous wooden model landmarks from all over the world that the train goes past. It's very quaint, cute and homely. The food was yum. Best spring rolls I have had ever. Turns out the wife who makes them uses rice AND taro in a blend to create a super thin, melt in your mouth pastry. I've had nothing like it. Sublime. Dumplings were good, and Michael had a hot dog that was in a Bahn Mi roll, a German bratwurst, and Italian Bolognese and cheese (what a fusion). He said it was Yummo. Also, the smoothies slap here. My lime one tastes exactly like a Splice from home but fresh and in smoothie form (condensed milk is apparently the secret) and Michaels peach one was fresh as too!

      Had good chats with the owner and his wife and kids. Really love atmosphere and food, would def recommend!!!      Read more

      Hidden Rooftop Bar

      February 25 in Vietnam ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      We noticed some fairy lights from our balcony and went to investigate... Turns out it's a rooftop bar with a beautiful view of the city line of District 7! We had the place to ourselves and it was so cute. Had a celebratory drink (mine non alcoholic of course) to commemorate our successful arrival and acclimation into Vietnam!Read more

      Korean BBQ

      February 25 in Vietnam ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

      Having a late dinner at a local Korean BBQ place Michael spotted earlier in the day. We ordered some beef, pork and a bimbibap bowl. Little did we know.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The whole table was full of food. So many sides. Korean BBQ is on a whole other level!!!!! Many were weird and not to our taste but some were delish!!! The staff cooked the meat in front of us, and it was YUM.Read more

      This afternoon/evenings events

      February 27 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      It absolutely piss bucketed on our way home from District 1. We just got in the Grab Taxi before it started to pummel. It's a good thing we adjusted our plans because it rained like this for hours. We spent the rest of the afternoon watching Bridgerton (our TV connects to Netflix and Michael has never seen it and has become entranced hahaha) before heading out for dinner around the corner at a very local hole in the wall restaurant called Bun Bo Vy Da Xua.

       It was absolutely packed with locals and literally only had one thing available on its menu. We had no idea what we were getting into, all we knew was that it was some sort of beef soup. It was absolutely delish. Packed with flavour, and cheap! $13 for 2 meals and 2 drinks. That's more like it!!!!

      Did a quick stop at Circle K (the local convenience store over here) and grabbed a few snackies to finish off the night watching the season 1 finale of Bridgerton before having an early night as we fly out to Hoi An tomorrow!      Read more

      Ankunft bei Familie Le

      September 23, 2023 in Vietnam ⋅ 🌧 32 °C

      Wenn man irgendwo neu ankommt und die Regeln der Gegend nicht kennt, sei eine gewisse Vorbereitung ratsam. Manch einem gefällt es einfach nicht, sich zu sehr ins Ungewisse zu stürzen.

      Bei mir gehört eine aktive Planlosigkeit zu meiner Persönlichkeit, die ich mir für meine Ankunft jedoch nur erlaubte, weil ich bei Aniboys Familie in guten Händen sein werde (nahm ich mal dreist an).

      Mit Hugo (Sohn#2), Bi (Sohn #1), Tracey (Tochter und Lieblingskind#1) und Thuy (Mama) konnte ich sorglos auf englisch quatschen. Mit dem Rest der Familie waren dank geduldiger Übersetzungen und übertriebener Gestikulation auch tiefere Gespräche möglich.

      So durfte ich mit Liebe zubereitetes Essen genießen mit einem Umfeld, wo jede Ecke des Hauses belebt und genutzt wird.
      Mag ich.

      Die Familie arbeitet zusammen und verkauft im großen Stil Fischsoße und ich durfte alle Sorten probieren.
      Mag ich nicht so.

      Ein paar Highlights in Kurzform:
      - mein Apfelkuchen war nach 2min weg
      - Karaokeabend, wo ich Steppenwolf und Ans Lieblingssong demonstieren durfte (Digimon Piano Version)
      - alle tragen witzige Pyjamas
      - Hot Pot mit den Cousins, ich war richtig am Brüllen, als eine Schwangerschaft bekannt gemacht wurde (für alle anderen anscheinend normal)
      - Opa hat versucht mich mit Brandwein abzufüllen, hat es nach dem 10. gemeinsamem Umtrunk aufgegeben
      - allgemein sehr viele rote Gesichter an Viets (Papa) Geburtstag

      Ich genieße es, eine Region aus Sicht der Menschen sehen zu dürfen, die schon länger dort leben.

      Der Trubel in der Stadt liegt mir nicht so. Der Trubel im Hause der Familie schon.      Read more

      Bahn Mi!

      February 28 in Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      We are checking out of our hotel in HCM this morning to head to Hoi An in central Vietnam. Figured I would nab down before we checked out and grab some local street grub for breakfast. I had seen these carts around our area and knew we had to give it a try. Luckily the lady understood me and allowed me to build a custom Bahn Mi with just herbs, sauces and meat. I had the normal one but forgot to ask with no chilli, so had to scrape some out when I got back to the hotel.

      Gotta say, the bread here hits different. It's so good. Also, $1.50 AUD each. Michael and I loved them (even though mine buuuurned hahahaha) Absolute slay of a meal.      Read more
