Wednesday in HCMC

A day of art starting with the Fine Arts Museum. It has some of the best examples of Vietnamese lacquer painting. Contemporary art galleries followed. The directors of the galleries were forthcoming about the challenges of running contemporary art spaces in a communist country. With all the hustle and commerce of HCMC it is easy to forget that Vietnam is communist.

We had a great lunch that featured stuffed pumpkin flowers and steamed morning glory stems. Both were very tasty.
