We accepted the job in Bien Hoa. There was a job on the coast that would have been lovely, but it only offered one position, and we would have had to make a trip out there to look for a second. There was also a school in the highlands with two positions, and it’s a really beautiful location, but a seven hour drive from Saigon—four hours from even the nearest touristy area. Even if we don’t love Bien Hoa itself, we’ll be an hour outside of Saigon and an hour from the beach.
To celebrate, we spent about $10 on ice cream…and it was soooo worth it! Fanny is a pricey ice cream place we’ve been eyeing up for the past month, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the “Creation,” a platter with ten scoops of your choice, plus two little fruit salads and three toppings. It’s made for three people, but Joey and I knew we could do it.
Fanny has some pretty amazing flavors, and we chose (in descending order of awesomeness): salted caramel, chocolate chili, Bailey’s, ginger, lime, raspberry, cinnamon, soursop, rum raisin, and tutti frutti. Unfortunately, they were out of avocado. Here’s our platter before…
…and after.
We’ve since learned that they have a Friday all-you-can-eat ice cream buffet for 75,000 dong ($4.30). We are most definitely coming back for that.
For now, we’re packing up and getting ready to move out of our hotel tomorrow morning. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure what the next couple of days will be like—the house we looked at last weekend has already been rented, so we don’t know where our stuff is going in the immediate future. We may or may not be teaching tomorrow (yikes!). I don’t actually even know when we’re leaving in the morning…
Yum! So jealous...
