don't speak the language


It's a relatively easy language to learn. Only four tenses and no verb conjugation. Like most languages the adjective goes after the noun. "Nhung" out front makes a word plural.

Only hard part is learning/retaining the vocabulary. (The pronouns are complicated but mistakes are just a tell that you aren't a native speaker so you'll still be understood.)

Banh mi #1,2,3 and 4

This morning I went strolling in the neighborhood and saw a banh mi place. They bake their own bread so I had an idea it was going. Initially I ordered one char sui pork belly and an egg. Then finished them and ordered a cha lua(Vietnamese spam). Then I got the grilled pork. I feel like I’m cheating since all these came from the same place, but I’m behind schedule so a little cheating is needed.

Oven in the back




Egg


Pork belly char sui


Cha lua


Grilled pork


Other items in the banh mi were cucumber, shredded green papaya and carrots, chili paste, pâté, egg mayo, sauce, and mint.

Egg - B tier 12K(47 cents)
Pork belly - A tier 15K(60 cents)
Cha lua - B tier 15K
Grilled pork - B tier 15K

Random picture: while I was chowing down these banh mis, there were a group of elementary students taking their class pictures across the street. Future looks bright for VN.
