Day 65 - Hoi An

Cooking class this morning: me, N&S, Lee, and a couple from Melbourne - Luke and Amy. Wandered down to the Dao Tien in the lashing rain and met the chef, Viet. He took us down to market, telling us about various foods, sauces, fruits, meat, fish, etc. Back to the restaurant to make some spring rolls with shrimp, and Cao Lầu noodles - a Hoi An speciality. Braised eggplant was far tastier than I expected, and of course sautéed chicken was delicious. Two little trick flowers made from tomato or chili - good for meal presentation.

Got a $4 haircut afterwards, and my ears cleaned. Thought he meant a cotton bud at first, then he broke out a head torch and some stainless steel tools. Felt like a tweezers and a scraper. One disgusting fragment in my right ear.

Spent the afternoon watching trading places.
