Just got back from a Tu Lan four day trip, on the first day we saw this fellow, looked like he'd been run over by his peanut wagon but on closer inspection I think he was just fixing it.

After the trip, Uy invited myself and the four clients out for a meal (we thought this would be at his house). We arranged to meet at Ho Khanh's house and when we arrived Uy had arranged three motorbikes for us as we were eating at his favourite spot in town.

The spot turned out to be a small place on the edge of the market and once seated, a crate of beer arrived so we started on that. The first dish to arrive was 'cheap cheap' (or that is what it sounded like) this looked a bit like mince but was very tasty if rather spicy. Uy didn't know what this translated as, other than that it was from the sea, I later found out that it was possibly baby mussels. More beer and then a plate of snails of all sorts of sizes, more beer and more snails followed, we were still hungry so we had more beer and another plate of 'cheap cheap', less chilli this time.
Time to move on, normally I would have gone home but as I was on The back of Uy's bike I couldn't, and had to go to a Karaoke bar. More beers and dreadful 'singing' followed.

After the Karaoke, our Australian friends were still hungry so we went on to a late night (early morning actually!) snack bar for more beers and chicken soup.
Finally at 2am I was released and allowed to go home.
