Saw Ho Chi Minh today at his Mausoleum, 55 years on he doesn’t look a day over 70. Remarka-balls

In three days I’ve pretty much eaten every species on this stall #shellfishspoiler

Quote of the day in Hanoi written large by a busy intersection..

New Year’s has been mental..

still loads to see, including this place made famous by Anthony Bourdain which given the pace of change feels so dated.. but in a positive way

Chả rươi (sand worm omelette) is a Vietnamese dish made from the polychaete worm Tylorrhynchus heterochetus; it is a delicacy of some provinces in Northern Vietnam.[1][2] The dish is prepared from live sand worms, which are put in hot water to remove their tentacles, and then mixed with raw egg.

This was rather good, also eating blanched peanuts in their shells and drinking draft Hà Nội beer with the locals
