Xin chao!
I think you’ll find that this is not one of my typical episodes. You will not find the familiar one-on-one interview style format thing happening here this time. I’ve come to realize that it’s important to shake things up a bit once in a while to keep the show fresh and engaging. So instead of the usual fare, I offer you a non-photo-taking walk with me from my apartment in Tay Ho along the lake and tree lined streets to my lady Sabrina’s place in Truc Bach.
The segment described above will be followed by yet another walking trip with Sabrina at my side as we venture into Hanoi’s bustling Old Quarter to get two hot steaming bowls of well cooked duck, pork balls, noodles and bamboo shoot soup prepared by one of Hanoi’s legendary street food vendors who’s well known by locals for both her delicious food worth waiting in long lines for as well as her voracious appetite for swearing at customers who exhibit even the remotest signs of being difficult. Applicable to both foreign or domestic. No discrimination here.
Let the expletives fly!
