Farewell Danang

On the night of January 24th, 2008, I moved from DN to HCMC. During the days that led up to this event, I spent some time thinking about the things that I would miss about the city.

check out my yogurt measuring cup! my lil oven that rox: cornbread!

I met a lot of great ppl here and I really wish (as always) that we could just transport all the ppl we love into one fabulous location to live in forever and forever…but alas, that’s just a dream that will not happen 🙁 🙂

Highlights that I will miss dearly include:
–my motorbike repair shop…These guys fix up Cathy (aka my motorbike) like nobody’s business and they’re so cheap (overall pre-SGN repairs = 100,000 VND = $7) and friendly and trustworthy. Tis always service w/a smile. 43 Hai Phong Street

Cathy, pre-train ridemy motorbike shop

–my church and ENGLISH mass!!!! The priests, choir, and sisters have always been so kind to me. IT’s at 10:30 am on Sundays at the pink cathedral FYI.

–my Korean roommate and the delicious and cultural enlightenment she’s brought into my life = movies, celebrities, and food!
Did I mention that I love Korea? Onhi Hye Jong and Boram-shi are the absolute best-est ppl 😉

–motorbiking sans traffic! The ride to Hue is kinda, ok super, dangereux but the village and beach roads to Hoi An can hardly be beat….no more cows in my paths I think 😉

moi = hors de DNon the way to Hoi Answeet tofu anyone?me making Korean style noodles

–the darn good DNian breakfast! My fave is bún riêu (tomato-crab-based broth w/noodles) and a side of cold sữa đâu nành (soybean milk..correct me if my VNese accents are off…I still suck!). All this goodness for about a buck! Gotta luv it 🙂

There’s more stuff but I must jet…my mommy’s in town so can’t be blogging while she wants to par-tay n’est-ce pas?

me eating brekkie...mmmm!

  1. I think you have the finest VN travel blog in the whole wild world !!! Thanks for sharing.

    My 2 cents:
    I believe it’s called Heavens

  2. Thanks TT! (I like your initials.)

    That was a really nice comment. I’m still surprised that ppl read this thing! I don’t know if everyone we know ends up in Heaven though….
