Was dead tired after returning back to Hotel in the evening but a well-worth experience. At night walk around Pham ngu lao and Bui vien, a very lively place with many people drinking beer and eating BBQ food. Went to this food stall Bun Cha at 145 Bui vien. Dont know how to eat the food, to throw the noodle into the soup or eat separate? Anyway did not like the taste much.
