Dalat

'La Petit Paris'. You gotta love a mini replica eiffel tower perched next to a lake in an elevated city in Central Vietnam. You just gotta. Relaxing town that we biked up, through and around. Local specialty are vegetarian dishes prepared in the traditional style to look like different meats. Evidently its an old Buddhist tradition to make the faux meats so that visitors can feel at home by eating things that appear to be part of their normal diet, while at the same time upholding Buddhist vegetarianism. I dug it. I was particularly pleased with the fake orange chicken looking thing, for no particular reason.


Yeah, and we hung out with cows. 'Vogue, vogue... work it for the camera'. Gotta love Dalat, just gotta.
