Well, here we are, wandering Vietnam knowing no Vietnamese (which makes me feel pretty guilty and everything is a little tricky). Luckily everyone is incredibly friendly. Although, this does not keep us from getting miserably lost. In our first encounter of asking for directions we walked up to 5 cheery looking elderly women. We could still not locate ourselves on a map after the exchange but we at least shocked the women with our height, or lack of height. They were quite enthused about our shortness and kept motioning how we were the same height as them and that most everyone else that is oddly tall. And, walking through a market a girl giggled and motioned that she was taller than me. So all in all, our shortness is much appreciated here.
As for the food, the tales are true. We passed a table of perfectly roasted dogs the first day here. Heads, ears, tails, everything looking very dog-like just in food form. We also spotted rows of pop cans that then appear to have little birds stuck and cooked in them with their little legs poking out the top.
Recently we took a tour, but I will just post pictures instead of rambling about how beautiful it was.
