Can life get any better? Today, after a little business at the DOET about photocopying my workshop outline, we went shopping for shoes that would be appropriate to teach in. I didn't think I would find any in my size, but surprise!! Here in Vietnam, they do not have a complete range of sizes in all styles. I go in and say my size, 38, and the shopkeepers pull out shoes in that size. It's is like when I go to a shop in Canada and ask for narrow sizes. My translator, Han, can drive a hard bargin and I got these sandles for 105,000 vnd or $6.56, and they are leather. I will shop with Han from now on.
Han then took us to her favourite ice cream shop just by the market. I had ice cream and sticky rice, a wonderful concoction. Han then went to another shop and bought us fried banana and sweet potato. It was very similar to Li's fried banana at the Riverview. What a wonderful treat. And I was even able to find my way home again!!
