Farmer's Market




Here "Farmer's Market" happens everyday. Dalat is famous for its abundant supplies of fresh flowers and veggies.

Vietnamese Hot Dogs






We'd seen these sold on the streets but had never tried them until three of Andy's students came over to make them for breakfast for us one morning. They are called "hotdogs" here but are simply sausage cooked inside batter in a waffle iron. The students brought the batter in a bucket on their motorbike, together with all the other ingredients plus the waffle iron! They got to work right away and Caleb enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

Bagworm

I googled on the strange creature and found out it was a bagworm. Very interesting creature.

Strange creature?



Caleb noticed something hanging from the underside of the railing outside our room today as we were heading out. It looked like some tiny twigs stacked in an orderly fashion and Caleb noticed something like a worm sticking its head out the base. We had no idea what it was. When we came home he noticed that the whole structure had moved to another location. Anyone knows what it could be?

Couple more Da Lat pictures



Cho Da Lat is the huge market in the center of Da Lat that sells all sorts of things from fruits and veggies to meats, clothes, toiletries, flowers, souvenirs and more. Bananas are in abundance here as well.

Badminton


Here's Andy training two future champions.

Ginger yogurt


Yes, this is what I saw at the Dalat Food Store today. Just tried it and it is delicious!
