Just before we left Waterloo Street, Linh bought an ice cream off one of the intriguing motorbike vendors. Their bikes have a contraption with a third wheel welded on so that the addition of a freezer and storage turns them into complete mobile businesses.
The buying experience seemed to hark back to yesteryear, as the proprietor opened up his tin "Walls" container and scraped out a rectangular block of ice cream. This was sandwiched between swirly-coloured pieces of bread.
I can't remember what flavour Linh bought (mango I think) as there were quite a few exotic ones to choose from but I do remember the bread tasting a little funny. (Probably meant to taste like that.)
In February 2009, Mark and Linh moved from the UK to the Far East to spend 16 months living in Hong Kong and traveling around East Asia. This website documents their journey.
