He is so right about sweetness. I prefer Asian snacks and desserts because they don't hammer you over the head with sweetness.
What a unique experience spending the day at the floating market! Girrrrl I couldn’t believe you said yes to “fermented shrimp”, but better to try than to wonder! I thought it was the coolest experience that they pulled up to your boat and gave you a boat table! It was also super fascinating to see rice noodles be made.

Some small ideas…. The tour girl’s English is very good with her warm attitude and her great knowledge about the tours and the S Vietnamese foods …..(so far) are very accurate! It is SAFER with a guide like her than ANYONE standing around on the streets or at the bus stations! Is pretty right at any time and in any country in the world! Advice: Check with the TOURIST OFFICES in the cities! The guide can be a college student…English major (I think ) working as a tour girl….just to make some extra income for her school expenses and for her family! To our Tourists: Bon Voyage and THANKS for VISITING our beautiful country, VIỆT NAM! Good Luck and enjoy as much as you can, “ our US travelers! Giáo Già (Old teacher)

Your Mekong River guide was great...'cept she didn't stop you from putting the shrimp paste into your mouth like that. OMG! I was side-eyeing her the whole time waiting for her to jump in and stop you. LOL! Typically you'd take a little amount and stir it into your bowl so it's diluted. It's never eaten straight up like that. Once you learn to love it, then you can eat it with bun dau mam tom (the one where there's tofu and other stuff that you dip into the shrimp paste sauce that contains kumquat, sugar, oil, etc.). Westerners who've learned to eat mam tom (shrimp paste) eventually fall in love with bun dau mam tom...even though that's still too hardcore for most Viets. Hahaha!

Hi Anna - This is a great question. We ate the herbs, the food, everything, because the food in Vietnam is so incredible. Our stomachs were up and down in Vietnam, just like many countries we have visited, but it was never enough that we had to stay home or anything like that (but everybody is different). As a precautionary measure, we always carry Imodium with us and have what's called a Z-Pack which is just prescription grade antibiotics that you can get from your doctor before you travel. There are also products like Travelan that are supposed to help, though we haven't ever used it. You can buy it on Amazon (pretty expensive and sometimes out of stock) or at a place called Passport Health which requires an appointment. Hope this helps and we hope you love your trip to Vietnam, it is an amazing country 🧳✈️🇻🇳💛
