It is always such a treat for me to meet new friends in Vietnam. Kha was kind enough to take us to an amazing dinner in Saigon to experience much of the local cuisine. Our team tried many of the local Vietnamese dishes such as Bun Cha Ha Noi (Dried rice with pork), Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe stuffed with seafood), Bun Hen (Noodles with mussels), and two of my favorites So Huyet (Blood clams in garlic) and Muc (Squid).
After dinner it comes time to socialize. Part of the local culture is to sit outdoors at low tables and talk, get to know each other, learn about each other, and eat snack food, and share in a Vietnamese Bia.
Our team enjoyed more dried squid dipped in hot sauce and lotus seeds. We played Tien Len (card game) with a pharmacy flare (Yes my idea.....nerd).
Year after year, I am fortunate get to meet new friends and learn more details about my team.
Cam on Em Kha rat nhieu for taking time to meet us, show us around, and make our experience in Saigon both educational and entertaining!!!!
