Missing the Spice of Vietnam

My most recent piece for local tourist and expat rag, Saigon Inside Out, is now available.
NB: Their site is undergoing a revamp so it’s not as pretty as it should be.

I’d miss it too, and Charlie would be yearning for some good summer rolls (his favorite).

Kristina: Well, one of these days we’ll have to get together and make some.
laurina: Thanks so much. I actually thought it was crap upon re-reading it. lol
Yup, we lived in Nagoya, Japan for almost 5 years but thought it was fairly reasonably priced. Of course, when we first moved there from Taiwan, we were a little shocked but it was nothing compared to London. I believe London beat out Tokyo as the most expensive city to live.
goldenlucd: Wonderful! Does your daughter-in-law have some experience with Vietnam?
I thought the article was well-written and fun to read
As for bland food, I don’t much like it most of the time either. Luckily, I can get tasty spices locally to liven things up a bit.
Deb: Thanks! You must be easily amused.
