Vienglish is a term used by many of my friends to show the mix between languages, and perhaps cultures. This new meld between English and Vietnamese represents my life in Ho Chi Minh City where my culture and beliefs effect how I see and understand the new world around me. Vienglish, my travel blog is an outlet for me to share with others my experiences here in Vietnam and my passion for great food!

The Floods


After eating the scrumpdillyumcious Banh Xeo, we headed to the outermost street, which lies right next to the river, which cuts part of the city off. As we walked along the street, it became apparent that the sewer system in place was unsuccessful in warding off the high tide. Each night like clockwork, the road would be completely flooded and the shops along the street were hard to get to, atleast without getting a soaker!

The girl in the picture seems to be waiting for a boat, and doesn't mind the water at all!
