She was oblivious to the world around her!</i><br /><br /><b>Peggy</b><i>, congrats on starting your own blog! Mighty glad to see you here. Vietnam was a wonderful trip and I want to go back again soon! What are you doing with turmeric? Fresh turmeric is a lovely orange color and the stains are difficult to remove so be careful!</i><br /><br /><b>Captain</b><i>, thank you! There is a lot of Hindu influence in Vietnam from the period of the Cham dynasty. We visited the two Cham Towers, one of which was deserted and by the side of the road. The other was the famous Po Nagar Towers in Nha Trang. Incredible!</i><br /><br /><b>Helene</b><i>, I have a wonderful trip, thank you! I&#39;m sorry you were cheated in Delhi. I make sure I buy from reputed stores or ask my friends where I should buy from.</i>Manisha Pandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-68310906822727513782012-01-12T04:27:35.099-07:002012-01-12T04:27:35.099-07:00haha..

Besides virtual devouring the dishes presented, I could not resist googling Nha Trang. Lo and behold, it was as fascinating as your article. What with Hindu temples, Shiva Lingam in the city of Nha Trang, my journey (again virtual) was very rewarding.

It helps me savor the joys of a trip and relive it again through my pictures!</i><br /><br /><b>Indonesia Eats</b><i>, banh xeo was my daughter&#39;s last meal in Vietnam! We love it! And, I am sure you will enjoy Vietnam - the people are wonderful, the food crazy good and the lush greenery so soothing for the soul! I&#39;ve never planted fresh turmeric. Hmmm! Now, there&#39;s a thought there...</i><br /><br /><b>Pel</b><i>, is that an oblique way of saying &quot;way too many pictures in this post?&quot;</i> :-D<br /><br /><b>Anita</b><i>, nope. For several reasons, mainly baggage space and customs restrictions. Vietnam to the US is a very different scenario from carrying dried shrimpies from Bombay to Delhi. I have dried shrimp - really teeny ones as well as a reasonable size that I bought in Chinatown when we were in the California over summer. A Vietnamese woman helped me pick which ones to buy! <br /><br />My best souvenirs from this trip are my memories and my pictures.</i><br /><br /><b>Miri</b><i>, they dry pretty much everything! It allows them to eat meat all through the year. Vietnam was so wonderful. I would love to go back again soon!</i><br /><br /><b>GB</b><i>, yeah, Medha was quite amused by the whole Laughing Cow thing. Vietnam is a lot like the coastal regions of India - except that they eat a lot more variety of seafood and meat, too. And, yes, paan! Older Vietnamese women generally have stained teeth and some paan tucked away in their cheeks. They spit out the juices, like Indians do, too!</i>Manisha Pandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-3322982831946196102012-01-09T05:43:10.849-07:002012-01-09T05:43:10.849-07:00LOL the laughing cow....and paan in Vietnam? who knew.GBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09663791299848516601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-18598477263542330962012-01-09T00:28:14.101-07:002012-01-09T00:28:14.101-07:00They dry Everything don&#39;t they!
