My dad kept telling me that when he was my age he was doing everything possible to not go to Vietnam. Well my friends, times have changed because Vietnam is a magical place. Me and Ilan ate pho till we dropped, sailed through Halong Bay, and trekked with hawking Hill Tribe ladies in Sapa.
Sapa is an unbelievable town nestled in the hills of North Vietnam, close to the border with China. We trekked for three days around the terraced rice paddies and made best friends with our tour guide Tu. He was around my age and had an affinity for hookers and getting drunk on homemade rice wine. Obviously we got along great as we have pretty much the same exact hobbies.
If you happen to get Vietnam tv from your cable provider make sure to look out for me and Ilan. We got interviewed for a segment about Vietnemese hotpot. They bombarded us as soon as we walked in the restaurant so unfortunately my answers weren’t that insightful.
Interviewer: ”What do you love most about Vietnamese Hotpot?”
Me: Ummmm. I don’t know, I’ve never had it before…
Classic awkward traveler moment. Either way it’s going to make for some captivating tv!
