Return to Travel

Take a deep breath. No. Not for that reason, the air smells fine.

Let me begin again. Relax. You're about to sit down in an alley to have breakfast. What is it? Where am I? Does it have the thing(s) I tell myself I cannot have because I get sick when I eat the things I...

Relax. We're both too hungover for this and we're about to head out on a 3-day motorcycle ride.

I have to tell you that I have been told to say that MSG... 

Can you read the menu? No? Do, do they use MSG? Umm... No this is free range gluten free alley, okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah! The west is just so full of poisonous food. It is sõ great to travel again.

Ah! Hot chicken soup, noodles, and roasted chicken. Perfection. So, you like it too? Great 😀!

There it goes, you posted it online. Ate the entire thing. You're traveling again, bragging, living that life. Guess you forgot to react to your MSG-gluten-subjective-allergy. 

Oh, wait. There it goes... Come on, we ate this a week ago. 

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
