I've been there (to the famous part of Hanoi that has markets). One of out group said he was going to give it a go, but I;m not sure if he ever did.If you're wondering whether that is just urban legend, I can tell you first hand it isn't.
Spent time travelling throughout Vietnam last year and the rumours are entirely true.
They regularly eat dog (particularly in the north) and if you don't take care of your own pet dog and secure them at night, they are likely to be stolen and killed and eaten.
The people in the north of vietnam are much more closely aligned with mainland China. Part of that also dates back to the Vietnam war where the northern vietnamese were the communists and the south was aligned with America.Gosh.. When they had the World Cup soccer over there..the organisers gave players and officials a ‘coupon’ to try dog.
I love how some are actually wearing a mask. It’s like I don’t want to catch anything but eating it is ok.I was in 2 minds sharing this but here goes, dirty, disgusting f**ks. Apparently a Wuhan market in China.
How was it ?I was just in Japan over CNY, snowboarding and eating all the seafood while drinking all the sake!
My best laksa was actually in KL about 5 years ago << had to reset my tripadvisor profile to find the restaurant >> I've only ever written one review on tripadvisor and it was for Betty's Cafe KL https://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/Rest..._s_Cafe-Kuala_Lumpur_Wilayah_Persekutuan.html
Malaysia also supplied the worst laksa I'd ever experienced, in Langkawi near the airport https://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/Show...a_Power-Langkawi_Langkawi_District_Kedah.html .. was very unappealing to the eye and tasted like dirty water. AVOID.
As for Singapore, I really haven't eaten too much Laksa here (I am living in Singapore), find it too hot atmospherically to enjoy a good laksa!
BTW, I love tofu!
We were at Niseko, in Hokkaido .. at a sky-in/sky-out resort, taking evening onsen during snow fall .. bloody terribleHow was it ?
Awsome how was sapporo?We were at Niseko, in Hokkaido .. at a sky-in/sky-out resort, taking evening onsen during snow fall .. bloody terrible
Fresh powder daily and during the sessions, clear skies once or twice and bitterly cold.
Visited the Nikka distillery before heading up the mountain, glad we stayed in Sapporo a couple nights cause some dude wrongfully took my luggage in place of his, meaning I was without it most of the first day.
Enjoyed a terrific crab restaurant in Sapporo .. CRAB.EVERY.WAY !
I <3 JAPAN.
Highly recommend, we stayed in the Mercure, who provided a very large room and daily breakfast; very impressed.Awsome how was sapporo?
I’m hanging to go to Japan. We lived in Tokyo for a few months but I was 5 at the time so I don’t remember it too well (except for the crazy robot toys, cruise ships and the corn chip snack things that I’m still addicted to). I keep hassling the Mrs to go there but she just wants to go to America all the time.Highly recommend, we stayed in the Mercure, who provided a very large room and daily breakfast; very impressed.
It is also a hotel with a bus stop for the trip to Niseko, and close to restaurants, so well suited for our needs.
The snow started falling in Sapporo on the Monday, Sapporo already had a thorough cover of old clean snow which was a lovely welcome.
Apparently, the season hasn't been too good at the mountains for snow, so we were blessed to be receiving the fresh stuff.
It was idyllic, indeed!
Tokyo makes for a perfect layout over en route to the States, same hemisphere too, so you can pack for similar climates.I’m hanging to go to Japan.

Hey Lov_Dog are you part of the brother/sister duo that posted on the old BDP? Brother always known for his score prediction - Dogs x 4?Tokyo makes for a perfect layout over en route to the States, same hemisphere too, so you can pack for similar climates.
The airports are on par with Changi for efficiency, cleanliness and variety of stores as well as proximity to the city.
Breaks up the long haul Stateside journey and neither of you have to compromise on travel destination.
I am not part of the brother/sister duo .. not sure who they are. I am the original Lov_Dog on here.Hey Lov_Dog are you part of the brother/sister duo that posted on the old BDP? Brother always known for his score prediction - Dogs x 4?

HMU when you know your October dates .. I will be traveling mid-Oct to the States for my annual meeting. But if in town, would be great to celebrate with you a Bulldogs premiership !
