11th Feb, 1st time in 10days that i get to open my camping tent. Nguyen Xien Long Binh. 3417km

bo bit tet (beef steak) at a local shop near where i stayed in Saigon.
after eating the beefsteak, i realised that everybody else around me was eating pho bo so i guess it was the shop's speciality. since i wasnt feeling very full, decided to order another bowl of pho bo to see whats the hype. started talking (well not exactly talking, more like sign language) to the guy who served me the noodles. at the end when i wanted to leave, he wanted to take a photo with me and refused to let me pay for the meal! yea, another nice dude in Vietnam to add to my list of Samaritans.
the nice guy whom insisted i not pay.

and the local shop in Saigon! sadly, couldnt say gdbye to them the next day when i left cause they werent open in the day.

strangely, i had to pay 5000 & 4000 dong for bus tickets that said 4000/3000 respectively. wonder if the price has increased but the ticket hasnt been changed to reflect it. or mayb they are jus charging extra? hmmm...

a normal looking Uncle Ho on a 50k note.

but it was actually torn into 2 pieces and i pasted them together with tape hehe =D btw i managed to use it and didnt get discovered!

some spicy crab soup dish (b'fast item) from Hue.

Sup Cua - crab soup.

very similar in taste to "sharksfin soup" that you get in pasar malam but this one has got real crab meat and 1/2 quail egg per portion. SGD0.30 for one bowl/cup =D

the central post office in Saigon, which was also a tourist attraction due to its colonial architecture. nth much of interest, jus sent some stuff back to singapore haha. mummy, if you are reading this, you will get the parcel very soon, bout 2-3 months from now =D

in a rather opulent temple in Long Binh & 1st time opening my tent in 10days! luckily it still smells good and fresh =P
