She had a great time in Vietnam and She said that: “When I went to the travel, doctor to get shots for my trip to Asia, she specifically told me that I wasn’t to eat anything from street vendors or anything I hadn’t seen cooked.
I smiled at her and then mentally laughed. How could I possibly go to Asia without trying any street food? I’d already been forewarned of all the soups from my friend Jodi. And while I’ve loved the food in Thailand and Cambodia, I can now admit that it’s Vietnam that’s stolen my heart (and belly).”
