Top Pic = Thuy & Linh with the mango birthday cake. Interesting note: the birthday cake says "Happy Birthday Mother". In Vietnamese culture, it is disrespectful to refer to either of your parents by their first names. Many offsprings can't even remember their parents' first names because they never use them in conversation or birthday cakes! Btw - unlike Western cultures, Vietnamese never celebrate birthdays.
Middle Pic = We went to a barbecue restaurant for dinner - that is a hot, flame grill in the center of our table.
Bottom Pic = Close-up of ribs, vegetables, shrimp wrapped in bacon, female goats' breast (very chewy - but a Vietnamese favorite), and steak slices wrapped around cheese & onion. All food was great - except maybe the goat's breast!
