You Can't Leave Saigon Without Seeing This

"I've got an idea! Let's go to a really boring, ugly coffee shop and spend the entire day there!" -said no one ever.

People like fun things. They like pretty things. If you need proof, just read this really old but funny post I stumbled upon the other day by @trafalgar.

Sorry you had to find out that you're shallow this way. And all you were trying to do was just innocently browse steemit.

I would like to say that I gracefully came across the post, but I definitely stumbled upon it like the clumsy buffoon that I am, tripping over everything in my path. I'm so clumsy, that I even trip over things in my virtual path, like blog posts. I'm proud to say that I have the ability to do this completely sober.

Anyway.

Another cool thing I stumbled upon was this NOT boring apartment-complex-turned-tons of coffee shops-mango dessert place-restaurant-dance club place.

And since it wasn't a boring, ugly coffee shop, I went inside and explored the whole thing.

It kind of reminds me of something you'd see in Portland, Oregon. In Portland, there's an old elementary school and each room is now a restaurant or bar or spa or hotel room.

I LOVE the idea of giving something a unique purpose.

Plus if it's raining outside, you can just go to the next place without going outside and melting or whatever.

Here's the view from across the street. Seeing it, I almost felt like I was in the states again (minus the Emirates sign).

Okay, that was fun. Now forget looking across the street. Time to go inside.

I told my friends to go down there and pose for the picture. Jk. How cute… you thought I suddenly had friends!

Looks like somebody worked hard at making an anti-boring hallway between cafes and restaurants! Good job!

Hallways are cool. I wonder what one of the cafes is like inside!

The first place I went into was a donut shop called Dosh. I haven't eaten a donut in years...

...but I mean, I'd do it for the steemit post.

Especially this one, because it has a syringe in it and it has matcha green tea, which is an anti-oxidant, which officially makes this donut healthy, right? Doctors and nurses use syringes, so it HAS to be good for you.

See this picture? --->

No?

Of course you don't, because there's no donut to photograph anymore. I gobbled it up!

After gobbling the donut like a baby t-rex dinosaur, I found a cool mirror on the balcony at Dosh.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest fattest of them all?" - Me

"You are, if you keep eating donuts like that. They're not healthy, okay? So stop trying to convince people that they are!" - Mirror

"" - Me

If you want to see the rest of this place, you're going to have to go to the city with an apparent identity crisis and two names, Ho Chi Minh/Saigon, and see it for yourself. I can't just hand everything over to you on a silver platter.

Also, I have to go exercise, anyway. I can't continue to sit on the computer and post about apartment cafes after the mirror just called me a fatty like that!

So, time to go bust a really bad dance move!
