having phở in hanoi

Do you like how I whipped out the diacriticals and everything for the title? I like how the word looks with the fancy stuff on top of the ‘o’. It actually reminds me of steam coming off a piping hot bowl of phở. That makes me sound kinda crazy, doesn’t it?

I was in Hanoi this weekend to attend a wedding (Congrats Linh and Bryan!) and had a great time taking in some sights and eating plenty of good food. After taking care of some biznaz, Charif, Duong, and I were ready for lunch. After roaming around Hoàn Kiếm Lake for a bit we ended up at a phở place that Charif had tried the evening before.
