Because I couldn’t go to Bach Ma, as described in my previous post, I had time until 2 p.m. at which point my bus would pick me up.
So I was on my way to get some breakfast, when an older Vietnamese guy asked me where I’m from. After some hesitation I replied: “Germany!” After hearing my answer, you could literally see his face brighten up. He then went on and told me that he has family in Munich. After a short discussion he offered to have breakfast with me, despite him being busy that day. He also mentioned that he would’ve invited me to his house if he just had more time. So off I went to have breakfast with him after he scouted out a suitable restaurant where they cooked fresh food. During our motorbike ride to the restaurant, he was very informative, explaining that you have to be very careful in Vietnam when you go to a restaurant on the street and one should always check if they cook fresh food, because often they just recook the food from the previous day.
I must say, I had a very nice conversation with him over breakfast. Finishing my plate he offered to pay, which I politely refused. He then brought me back to my hotel where we both said goodbye.
