Da Nang, Vietnam: April 2019

In April we visited Da Nang again, as it’s our favorite beach city in Asia! Well, our favorite that’s easy to get to. It was my last flight on an Asiana 747 too! Likely my last time on a 747-400 as well. They’re becoming very rare. It was late when we landed so we stayed…

July 2018: Hanoi, Vietnam

Right at the beginning of July Summer and I were sitting on my couch thinking, “I wonder where we can go this weekend….” Next thing you know, an hour later we had flight tickets, hotels, and a visa applied for to go to Hanoi! Thankfully Vietnam had opened up single entry visas again, as my…

Da Nang, Vietnam: October 2017

Octoberfest- Korean Version

The adventure starts in the Japanese district in Yongsan, for a late lunch.  I took the train up with a coworker and decided to try and eat beforehand.  Unfortunately the ramen place we wanted to go to was closed during the time we were there!  Down the way we found a pho restaurant and my…

From Field to Table

I found this place somewhat close to where I live that had vietnamese cuisine.  I had to go check it out! I was given pretty shady directions on how to get there.  I was told it was “above that one buffet place we went to a long time ago, I think it’s the 8th floor.”…

So Where Was I

You thought I forgot about the blog, huh….. I haven’t really been that busy, more of just lazy.  Well lazy and hot.  Unbearably hot. So I went to a wedding…Reception? A coworker of mine got married.  Well he’s not married yet.  He’s marrying his Korean fiance in the states, but they wanted to have a…

My Attempt at Making Pho – Do Not Try at Home

Where do I even begin……… I’ve been having some serious pho cravings over the past two weeks so I finally buckled down and decided that it was time to make some pho at home.  Rule number 1: don’t make pho at home if you aren’t over the age of 40 and a vietnamese female.  It…
