    • don't be scared. These bottles of rice wine are everywhere. Imagine taking some sips of this alcohol that has been marinating with cobras, vipers, ginger, and other strange items.

    It's supposed to be a "cure-all" for disease. The label on my bottle says "cures rheumatism, limbago, and sweat of limbs"

    Umm sure it does!

    Cheers and happy drinking!

    • there are abundant food stalls that line the streets of Saigon. The tables are often miniature sized, like kindergarten sized child furniture. Be prepared to sit in a tiny chair hunched over.

     interesting pics! it's always better to see some off-the-beaten-path parts of a country, too!    		richiecdisc Wed Jul 27, 2005 10:07 UTC
     I agree about the best food not being in the fancy restaurants. Love your photo of the rice wine/vipers!

     Ice cream... now yet another reson on my list of why I want to go to Viet Nam. And I am a fan of wine, but there are limits!    		ATXtraveler Mon Jun 20, 2005 23:23 UTC
     After that Snake Wine, I would be following the Ho Chi Minh trail :)
