Quick flight down to Ho Chi Minh City where we met up with friends and went out on the town.
 |
| First stop, lunch. Banh Xeo might look familiar if you are an Anthony Bourdain fan. |
 |
| The dish the place is named after, Banh Xeo, is a pancake filled with shrimp, pork, onions, mung beans and bean sprouts. |
 |
| Another dish from Banh Xeo in which these meat rolls are placed in lettuce leaves and dipped in sauce. |
 |
| The sea of scooters, always ready to accelerate, in Ho Chi Minh's District 1. |
 |
| A perfect accompaniment to Vietnamese "bia" or beer, seaweed-flavored Pringle's. |
 | ||
| Fire coconut prawns at Le Marina Seafood restaurant. |
After dinner, drinks on the 23rd floor rooftop lounge at Shri (72-74 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, District 3, 08 3827 9631, rsvp@shri.vn) were a perfect end to a busy day.
