Can't escape fast food exports, but you can ignore it. It's funny they have it here but they don't get it quite right. We passed a KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut combo and I peeked in to see if they happen to sell Nacho's bell grande (pretty much my only fast food weakness), no luck. What they do sell are "taco meals" and "lasagna meals" both served with a side of fries, yuck.
We leave for Vietnam on the 9th (Monday). A few days later than we were hoping but we still managed to find a good deal. The plan is to fly into Hanoi, explore northern Vietnam for several days (Halong Bay, Perfume Pagoda,) then fly to Hue. From Hue we'll make our way down the coast stopping at Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Phan Thiet, Dalat, and finally Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. We fly back to S'pore from Saigon on the 30th. We're not spending as much time in Vietnam as I originally hoped, but it looks like they'll be work for Mark here starting in January and we need to find a place to live and such. Lucky for me, there's an Ikea here (which Mark refers to as "ickea" after an apparently traumatizing experience in the Newark store)
