Begin Cultural Awareness Tour

After arriving in Saigon early May 24th, we unloaded our 18 checked-in luggages, each maxed out in weight (23 Kg), of medication and supplies and dropped them of at a local co-mission colleague's home. We then continued our expedition with another flight from Saigon to DaNang. Although the pharmacy mission is the primary objective of our trip, one would be missing out if they couldn't at least experience a bit of the Vietnamese culture before hand. Therefore, we begin our cultural awareness tour by eating some fresh local seafood. So Huyet (Blood clams), So diep (scallop clams), Oc (snails) and Muc (squid). This region is a rapidly growing area, that despite tremendous growth in tourism, retains its long history. But first, Chuc Ngon Mieng!!! (Bon Appetite)
