Monday - Feb 1 - Evening - Chinatown Dinner, Visit to Flower Market












My hotel was about 1/4 mile from Chinatown. I found a street restaurant for dinner...tables were inside but cooking was done in woks located at curb side. I had duck + a noodle dish + a large beer ---the portions were huge which included about 1/2 of a crispy duck...total bill about $15US.

After dinner, I wandered down to the flower market which is located about 1 mile from my hotel along the river. The pictures speak for themselves...price for 2 dozen long stem roses - $1.50 US.
Got lost going back to the hotel, tried a short cut. Took a taxi...$1 US. Washed clothes, showered and finished "Up, Country"...a novel about Viet Nam.

Good night.
