Phu Quoc Part 4

meaningfultea

Our last stop of the night is the Phu Quoc Night Market.  It was pretty small but kind of cool.  Typical of Vietnam night markets, there are street vendors and people selling wares.  Of course I buy Sophia a banana dress…yes a dress with banana print.  Sophia eats one of her favorite treats which is a string like pulled candy between two wafers.  We have to avoid peanuts, because this market is full of vendors pushing peanuts at you, and many of her favorite treats and food has peanuts.

We go eat at Trung Duong Restaurant.  It was my nephew’s Birthday, and a coincidence birth for another kid with the exact same name made him think it was his.  My aunt telling everyone that it was a party for him made the situation worse…oops.  There was some crying and disappointment when it turned out it wasn’t.   Then we proceeded to dinner.

Afterwards was the real birthday party in the bungalow.  Complete with cake, balloons, sparklers, and party hats.  The best part is all the presents…and all was good in the world again.
