Just had my first egg coffee at a cafe with a very lovely waitress who (accurately) guessed that it was my first and politely explained how to drink it. Will leave her a good review when I have WiFi again. Coffee was excellent.
The heavily smoking uncle next to me told me that you’d pay 7 USD for a drink line that in the USA. He then explained that he works in California and returns to Vietnam once a year to be with his wife. His second wife, that is, because the first died of cancer (I didn’t ask which kind) two years ago. His daughter works for the LAPD, which is a very good job, he says.
Second wife didn’t seem thrilled that he was chatting with me.
Lots to unpack here. My suitcase and I are now on our way to Hoi An.
