Wedding #3 in the countryside


We went to another wedding of a friend of Greg's from work. This one was in the countryside, in 2 different provinces. First we went to the bride's family in Hoa Binh province. They are Muong Vietnamese, a different ethnicity to the majority and have a different traditional dress as you can see from the photos. Their village was in the beautiful green countryside, very rustic.Then onto the groom's family in Ba Vi district for more festivities and more eating!
Of course, everyone wanted to have their photo taken with us, we were local celebrities for the day in these 2 small villages!

The making of Nem

Nem (aka Vietnamese spring rolls) are Stef's favourite VN food here so finally we learnt how to make them ourselves, thanks to a quick lesson with our Vietnamese teacher.

Hot Cross Buns

Greg's second attempt at hot cross buns (see here for last year's version) were a great success.
