Dinner Diary - Vietnamese Train Surprise
So i'm sitting on a train somewhere between Hanoi and Da Nang when a train company employee passes by my hard sleeper hawking some stuff. Having seen a couple of other vietnamese people go for it, i thought why not. Inside the white casing which was nicely wrapped in a leaf, was a mince pork filling with a quails egg, Quite tasty. The unfortunate thing, is i have no clue what it is, but it was "cheap-ish" for train food coming in at 30000 Dong.

Ah, the sixties

This program made me wonder what is the big thing of our generation. Yes i know that we have the internet, but is that all we get? Might sound greedy but if you think back to the sixties they had colour TV, Jet Airplanes, moon landings etc. Is the current parallel Twitter and Facebook?
As great as the internet revolution is, i hope for something bigger. Sure my pre (When Palm holla's at me) will have wireless charging, but where my lasers, and hover boards!
