Today was a big work day for me. I have some things that need to be finished before we leave, and I hope to have them done soon. Unfortunately, I am having some issues and there is limited documentation or forum posts related to the issue I am having. Hopefully I have found a workaround for this issue, but will not know until tomorrow. On to the food for the day. We ate at Mama’s at Superbowl again. The interesting food I had there is called a bitter fruit. The Vietnamese use this fruit to cool down when it is really hot outside. The bitterness causes the body temperature to cool down. It apparently is an acquired taste, and it just so happened that I thought it was not too bad. For dinner, we ate at an authentic German restaurant. Apparently it is the place that had the first foreign chef to work in Saigon after the normalization. The food is very authentic and I believe my parents would have really enjoyed this place. I had a strip steak that was very good. Every once in a while it is nice to eat something that I am familiar with. The beer was also very tasty. This is causing another early night and hopefully another early day. If I can get the work done, then I will have some free time to explore and shop. I did get some video of the traffic from the top of the hotel and will put that up once I get home. Around 11 pm I had to call into the office to help diagnose some network problems. It costs $5 per minute for me to use my cell phone to call home. Luckily the network came back online by itself, so the diagnosis was short. Finally it was bed time.
