Outside Viet ·

2024/10/30

Send us a textTao Dan park is one of the big green spaces in Saigon. It is mostly walled off from the huge flows of traffic that go around it. I found I quite like it, after using it for my daily old man walking circuit in 2023. In Tao Dan park there are:- child and adult playgrounds,- places where people put up nets to play badminton,- walkers, joggers and runners,- people meditating,- people doing tai chi chuan,- people filming movies while cooking the actors inside giant mascot suits alive...

Soups of the North

Outside Viet ·

2024/07/15

Send us a Text Message.We, to Dennis' chagrin, talk about Vietnam's most famous cuisine, phở (if I hear an Oh sound, I will hunt you down). It's origins are murky, but whether it be French, Chinese or a hybridization with local recipes, there's no denying it's significance. Ramen (a completely different type of soup, listen and learn), takes a back seat to this savoury bowl of noodles.

2024/05/12

Send us a Text Message.So I made a mistake in stating April 29 was the fall of Saigon; it fell on the 30th. The 29th was the date of the initial invasion. You could say it was still the 29th in the Americas when Saigon fell.
