I don't know what her schedule will be like, but Hieu, my fiancee, lives in HCMC. Contact her through her VJ profile, Sao Bien. She would be happy to meet for lunch or dinner.

Good luck!

I went there once. Hey, maybe you guys can settle something for me that I've been since unable to figure out:

What's that stuff that looks like fried rice that folks in HCMC spread out on the bare sidewalk, seemingly so it can dry/cook in the sun? Do they eat it after it's been sitting on the sidewalk? Do they wash it? It didn't seem like it was ever on even a tarp or something, but like I said, right on the ground. What is that stuff?

It's burnt dried rice that you find on the bottom of the rice cookers. They like to dry it and wait for it to be crispy and eat it. I think it's nasty myself but some people eat it as a snack. The old country side folks like to eat it and I always see them out on the streets where dust and dirt blow all over there. Some of the foods in Vietnam don't exactly pass FDA standards or aren't very hygienic.

Thanks. I'll be able to sleep like a baby again now that that's cleared up.

That's absolutely disgusting that they don't put anything under it. Dogs take dumps on the sidewalk, and drunks pee on it. I know I do.

Doesn't sound half bad, if I wouldn't have to eat it off the bare street, and perhaps with some spices and salt on it.

I'm glad that was cleared up. My first thought was that the substance you were describing sounded a lot like rice, which is all the rage in Asia from what I hear. :lol:
