Pour ceux et celles qui ont contribue a ma liste de choses a faire en voyage, vous allez etre fiers de moi, j'ai deja plusieurs de crochets de faits! Voici donc ce que nous avons reussi a accomplir durant ces derniers trois mois:
- Nous perdre volontairement (en involontairement! On est bons pour ca, et chaque fois, on a fait de belles decouvertes)
- Tout nu quelque part (je ne sais pas qui a ecrit ca, mais tu as oublie de specifier ou, alors si on est nus dans la douche, ca compte! hihi!)
- Trouver un resto qui a de la poutine au menu (ben oui! Imaginez-vous donc qu'a Hanoi, il y a un resto qui s'appelle Le Pub et qui sert de la poutine. Nico en a commande, fallait bien!)
- Relaxation (eh oui Marc-Andre, on sait relaxer, nous aussi! Surtout sur la belle plage de China Beach!)
- Manger les plats traditionnels les plus bizarres du menu
And for this section, I will switch to English to make sure everyone can understand. It's worth it! I was told to eat all the weirdest dishes, and I believe I did. Here goes:
- First, I had snake, in the Mekong. But I'd already had some of that, so it doesn't really count.
- Then, elephant eared fish. See Nick's blog (once he has the time to upload it) for the picture.
- And now comes the really weird stuff. As you might have read on Nick's blog, we had dog the other day! Yup, they were all stacked on the corner, whole or cut up, and we made the gesture saying we wanted to eat some, and we did! It was actually pretty good, but what with all the bones, fat and skin, there wasn't much meat to chew on.
- On our way up North, our driver stopped at this little stand by the road where they sold Com Lam. It's made of sticky rice mixed with peanuts, cooked on a fire in a bamboo stick. I love sticky rice, so this was one of my favourite snacks!
- Today, at the local market, I tried some ethnic minority specialty (I think it was Hmong, for those who know their Vietnamese minorities) It's called Tha Co (pronounced Thang Co) and it's a kind of soup with horse, buffalo and pig's meat, and the broth smells like sour goat's milk. I'm not 100% sure, but based on the large bowls full of red liquid next to it, I think there was some blood in the broth. Yummy! At least I'm sure that the meat was fresh: I could see the still bloody pigs on the next table. Yeah, a Vietnamese market is not for the weak of heart!
Alors voila, la liste va continuer a s'allonger, je n'en doute pas!
Stay tuned for more adventures and strange foods!
