Home sweet home

Today’s post is coming a bit late; I was uber-busy with all my things finally arriving from Thailand, meaning that I am officially in my new place as of today. It feels good to have a place I can call home again!
I am lucky enough to have a nice view on the Trúc Bạch lake; you can also see this narrow house across the street, which is very typical of the Vietnamese architecture.
Thịt chó

Okay, I must confess I hesitated to post this one.
Eating dog surely is a taboo in our western cultures, but it’s not here - and it’s actually considered almost as a delicacy.
For those who were contemplating coming over to Vietnam and who are now reconsidering, please don’t let this fool you: you will not be served dog’s meat if you don’t specifically request it. It is only served in some restaurants advertising ‘Thit cho’.
