♥ Vietnam Day 8

Ate com tam once again for breakfast. We also ate fresh soursop and jello that my cousin made for us. She made the jello using fresh coconut juice and shavings, which I have never tried before. Yummy!





Today we went back to An Dong Market since we did not get to spend a lot of time yesterday to browse through the market, and I also had a few more things I wanted to buy.

The first thing I bought was a picture for 300,000 VND = $15 CAD. They initally told us 600,000 VND but we managed to cut the price in half. Next I bought two plates and two magnets; one with the outline of Vietnam and the other is the church that we visited in District 1




I really like the pyjamas that they sell here so I bought a few more. The first set was 95,000 VND = $4.75 CAD each while the second set was 130,000 VND = $6.50 each


Today was the first time that the whole family went out to eat dinner together. We first stopped at my aunt’s house so they could show us around their house. My aunt & uncle have their own BBQ business so while we were there, they showed us a BBQ pork that they prepared and was ready for delivery. We then all took one taxi to the restaurant where we met up with the rest of the family









We got to Làng Nướng Nam Bộ and in total, there were about 20 people that attended the dinner. We were led up to the top floor where the roof was open to the outside and it was a really nice and breezy evening. The food was delicious!
