In the afternoon, we were greeted by a consultation law firm located here in Ho Chi Minh City during which it was explained how the international financial scene relates to the developing region here in Vietnam.
The food here is very good. It is not at all what I expected in a positive way. There are all kinds of unique delicacies available here with which I have I consumed in my quest for my gastrointestinal limits. There is also French food available here, catering to the French tourists. The weather has been moderately hot, and very humid. This is occasionally quenched by the rain, apparently releasing much of the humidity, yielding a pleasant atmosphere with temperature of about 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
My last observation is the modes of transportation here in Vietnam. The use of motorized scooters is staggering. Thousands of these mopeds constantly pack the streets in an endless battle for road supremacy. Horns are used much more frequently than in the United States, which was surprising to me. I will discuss the topic more later.
That is all for today. I wish you all the best.
Speaking of transportation, how do you and your colleagues get around? And while the food is quite good, are there American culinary options as well?
ReplyDeleteWell Anonymous, my response is multifaceted. We normally take a van provided by the university here which takes us to our classes and site visits. We have also taken a larger bus for the longer journeys. My personal favorite is taking advantage of the motorized scooters that the city has to offer. Also yes, there is American food here, but it is limited.
