But...

That's no way to start out a blog, by telling people that we probably won't use it :( Ryan, usually the optimist, has looked and seen a soup bowl half full, and replete with msg and blood bouillion. If my past travels in Thailand and reading of other traveler's blogs are any indication, internet cafes are everywhere, cheap, full of monks in saffron robes playing Halo. We'll be connected, yo.

Full Disclosure

Audrey and I have no idea how much internet access we will actually have in Vietnam and apologize in advance if we end up posting very little or not at all.

In the meantime, here is a comic by Apelad for you to enjoy.

An addendum

Of course, we aren't really sure how you say pho because we haven't been to 'nam yet. And though we had the best intentions of actually listening and practicing the vietnamese cd's that Ryan got from the library, we didn't actually do it. The most I tried was at a neighborhood pho shop to the owner who giggled and looked at me and said 'you make no sense! I no understand!" Bodes well, no? For now, you can look at this picture. More on how to say it later.

Speeding away after windmills

Hi everyone and welcome to I heart Pho. For those of you who don't know, Pho (pronounced like 'fuh') is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup that is extremely popular on the West Coast and a staple of our diet here in Seattle. We are creating this site with the hope that you'll be able to follow our travels in Vietnam - looking at pictures and reading about our attempts to combat Malaria while sitting on the beach, drinking beer that is cheaper than water, and eating still beating cobra's hearts. Enjoy! (We sure will.)
