With my housemate, an American who can speak Vietnamese.
He said I gotta stop being so que. Haha. que = from the countryside = probinsiyana! okay, I really am probinsiyana. but well, i think i passed the vodka mixing test. haha.
Funny, since he's touring me around and speaking Viet to the locals, while I'm the one Asian and who's often mistaken for a Viet! Haha. :D
Went to his favorite cafes - Viet, French, and other Western types. He always gets a beer from every place - restaurant, pub, bar, whatever you call them. Lunch at Kangaroo cafe (owned by an Aussie), cakes at Paris Deli (French chef?), then Sofitel Metropole (French architecture) for vodka during the happy hour.
People-watching - lots of tourists on the cyclos, and backpackers with their lonely planet books & 1-liter bottles of water. :D
old Viet restaurant - he said they used to serve good food. no longer. haha.

NOTES AT THE TOILET! haha it's unisex so there are notes for boys (2) and girls (1), and for tourists (1). The owner must be really mad at his customers. Haha.
Very narrow house with a gallery at the first floor
Ice cream- funny, not smooth, but flavors are okay :)
drunk tourists- there were four of them. one with a hat, backpack, and a bottle of water. Another with a glass of bia hoi.
they were probably looking for something, but it seems like they were trying to pick a fight with the locals.
really drunk
