I was looking for a haircut so stopped in at a convenient shop. The barber gave me a great haircut for about US$5.50. I could have gotten one near our hotel for US $2.50 but this shop looked a lot more professional.
We walked through some alleys on the way back to the hotel. The larger alleys (too small for a car) have businesses and some residences while the smaller mostly give access to homes and apartments. If there is a wide spot in any of them you will probably find a small food vendor or other small business. This is one of the larger alleys.
Russ' friend, Sergeant Dong, and his wife invited us to a home cooked dinner tonight. He worked as an interpreter for the US Army during the Vietnam War so speaks good English.
Mrs. Dong served a variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes. We had crispy spring rolls, fresh rice paper rolls (with special ones for Justin who is allergic to shrimp), teriyaki style stir fried chicken wings, whole shrimp boiled in beer, a beef dish, vegetables and rice. All accompanied by copious amounts of beer.
