Zoom Cafe, which hosts tours for photographers, as well as makes a great cà phê sữa nóng (hot coffee with sweetened milk).
The small cups of coffee are served in dishes of boiling water to keep them hot. Coffee always comes accompanied by diluted herb tea. These were lemongrass.
Drinking our coffees and contemplating the complexities of the world. Here’s the view from across the street.
A bicycle vendor stops to buy some produce from the basket vendor, and wins “best home-made kickstand” award.
At the end of the street we spy bamboo. Walls of it. A light bulb goes off. We can’t put any holes in our walls. We need a place to hang things, instead of dropping them on the floor (not naming any names).
Ladders. Yes. That could make a nice hanging rack. And they’re beautiful!
This place?
or that?

Sold. For the bartered price of $200,000 VND ($8.50).
1.5 mile walk home.
Made it. Yay!
So perfect! You guys are so smart. And, $8.50 – wow!!
Ok, now I see street scenes. Very cool ladder idea!
I love the neat array of post-it notes on your wall!
Thanks. I wish learning the new vocabulary was as easy as arranging them all around the room.
That pic of Doug strolling with a ladder is perfection.
