Last meal

It's my last day in Vietnam and my family made sure I ate...A LOT. This whole day has revolved around eating, and gossiping, family drama, the requisite picture taking...and eating, eating, eating....

So, my last meal in Vietnam:

Breakfast
My morning began early around 4am to the sounds of my aunt and mom gossiping about yesterday's hottest family drama. This is usually how my mornings begin here--annoyingly having to wake up because my mom's side love to hear themselves talking. But, I love them (most of them) and my Uncle Tai took me out to eat breakfast on my last day.

Hu Tieu. I don't know if it is the nostalgia that I'm already feeling for eating in the streets, for going out with my Uncle Tai, for the cacophony of noise that accompanies a warm bowl of noodles, but this is the best bowl of hu tieu I've ever had.
Of course, downed with a cup of Vietnamese milk coffee.
Lunch
For lunch, my cousin Tri treated me out to...burgers! I've been having a serious craving for In and Out and after hearing me talk about my cravings, he suggested to take me to Lotteria, a popular burger joint in Saigon.

It looks like a regular burger...
...but it's a kimchee burger (Lotteria is like the Korean McDonalds. Doesn't this mess look delicious?
Dinner
A family style meal of Vietnamese crepes.
The crepes weren't good. Actually, they were pretty bad, but it is my last night with my family so it didn't matter. I was also suffering from some sort of stomach bug (that I think I caught from the burgers) so my "last meals" were spent running to the bathroom. And so it ends...Goodbye, Vietnamese food, goodbye tapeworm (hopefully!), goodbye huge family style meals prodding each other about the latest hot gossip.
