Early Sunday morning we met up with Mike who arrived the night before from Houston. It was great to see him again. We had some Pho soup for breakfast and extremely sugary iced coffee and later on in the morning Mike's entire family picked us up in a van to take us to a little town South of HCMC where Mike's mom lives.
Eating and drinking in kids sized chairs. Imagine how much space you save by using these instead of the adult chairs! I don't think they could pull this off in the U.S.
Like a true Texan David teaches Mike's nephew how to shoot his toy gun at a target.
This kid was half German and I pulled off a short conversation with him. *Pat on the back*.
Mike's mom runs a restaurant called Pho 36 right here in this space. She opens every morning for breakfast only, with little kids chairs and tables included. The room has some awesome speakers. Mike's uncle played Michael Jackson and Celine Dion songs through out the day. David mentioned how anywhere else he would not be able to stand these songs, but right there in that moment he was loving it. Don't tell anyone I said that though! Ha ha!
Favorite moment. Getting suckered into getting my hair and face washed at the local hair saloon. cost. $1.
The girl (Carrie) with the pink hair tie was our translator since she is the only one in the family who knows English. The lady doing my hair is her aunt and Carrie said that she gets her hair washed every morning.
This is a videotape of David eating a Balut Egg, which is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg, with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. GROSS! David is the brave one on our team and ate the egg. Me on the other hand stayed far,far away from it, even though everyone was trying to convince me that it is very good for the baby! Notice me hitting Mike's uncle's head with the camera while filming. I'm so embarrassed!
