Vietnam Day 33 (7/10/09)

I felt extremely lethargic today. I had every intention of sitting around working on my journal or the analysis for the Ninh Thuan project. I snapped right out of my lull though when someone proposed a trip to the Lunch Lady. This made three times eating there so far and I’ve never been disappointed. The broth today was a little lighter than the ones before but it was still really good, loaded with scallions and random bits of meat. I feel like I should have been coming here every day since I got to Saigon to take advantage of all the different magical soups she has.

Today was completely uneventful except for the food so the only other thing to report was our vegetarian dinner (our second in the past week, but this one was far superior to the last). We were led past a bunch of pictures of Buddha to the upstairs part of the restaurant, which we had all to ourselves. We had a number of really good dishes, primarily made of tofu pretending to be meat. The most unusual but best-tasting was the banana fish, which tasted like bananas but had the consistency and saltiness of fish. We had a low-key evening after that, falling asleep while watching Harry Potter with the project in Kendra’s room.
