Vietnamische: German Style

Yesterday everyone on the team was scattered to the winds and we ended up doing our own thing for the evening. I had planned on going to see Zur X-men, but ended up spending an hour trying to initiate a video chat with Joel out in California. We thought that Norton was the issue as it kept telling Joel that his computer was an intruder. Sounds like it needs therapy. Then when Norton was taken out back and shot, we gave it another go. That didn't work either, so clearly the issue was on my end. Hey, Steve Jobs, thanks for the iChat and built in video camera, now can you make it work with the rest of the computer using world?

As much as I like watching a mini version of myself on the computer, I decided to shut the computer down and go out for dinner. After strolling aimlessly for a while I stumbled upon a Vietnamese restaurant. The idea of eating some light asian food immediately appealed to me since we had all eaten a pound of whipped lard for lunch. Unfortunately, this was not to be the case. I think i might go back just so I can take a picture of what I had. Imagine a bowl of noodles, covered with grilled chicken and steak and some other kind of meat, then topped with fried pork spring-roll things, topped in som vegetable spring rool like things in slightly different shapes. Now, when I say fried, I mean funnel cake at the fair fried, none of this candy-ass "lightly fried" stuff. The vat they cooked these things in has more gristle clinging to it than Dick Cheyney's aorta.

Where did you go for Vietnamese? Try Monsieur Vong's in eastern Berlin. often a wait but inexpensive, fantastic, cute t-shirts and, well, it's Berlin, you eat what you can find.
