LockDown Day : 23 : Sorta Messed Up
What's cracking friends?
Seems another day has come another day has went, time is starting to blur together into a routine, or one day ends next starts it's all about the same... I sometimes compare this to being in a spaceship going to Mars maybe, but at least you're going to Mars and that's a big thing look forward to, I guess moving from the quarantine zone and adventuring around the city and country again is to look forward to ... this right now has instilled a bunch of malaise in me however.
But as the blog post title says I did sort of mess up.
One of my good friends in "Hoi An", a small city to the south of Danang runs an organic grocery store. They asked me if I like the ordering anything and they can make it a special delivery for me. Of course I said yes.
They sent me the list of their menu items, and I assemble a list of the produce I would like to get and send back this.
Carrot x 3 - 90 k VND
Potato x 3 - 90 k VND
eggplant x 3 - 45 k VND
Bitter Melon x 3 - 90 k VND
Boiled Bamboo Shoots x 3 - 75 k VND
green broccoli x 3 - 75 k VND
tumorric x 1 - 40 k VND
Lemmon x 4 - 80k
Mainly I wanted 3 Carrots, 3 potatoes, three eggplants, and so forth and so on. It took them a couple days to get the order together, then they dispatched it to me. The price was 700,000 VND ($30.00 USD). I thought it was a bit expensive for vegetables but hey hard times right... Turns out however that the "3" Carrots, was not three individual units, but 3 KG of carrots... so, when the delivery guy dropped off a box at the end of my street it was a very heavy box, filled with more produce than I knew to do with.
This photo below was taken after I took a huge bag of perhaps 75% of the vegetables I got, and gave it away to the staff in my building and told them to give it to other residents of the building might not have food.
Anyways, we too many pieces of produce now. I guess that's okay for couple days. lol....
Let's get to the daily photos
As always here are my selection of photos from yesterday, ended up exploring a couple of straw hats in micro photography. I am kind of happy with the results...
Let's start with the sunrise. @kooza does a good job of waking me up at 4:30am or 5:00 am EVERY DAM DAY... So I get to snap a photo of the rising Sun.
As mentioned today's adventure takes us into a couple of hats. These are straw hats that have gone various times here in Vietnam. I always find the creation construction method of them fastening.
While I think they use machines for little bit of it majority these are all handmade.
Check out the weaving pattern here, Hands had to brade these things together... I wonder if it was a toothless old woman sitting by the rice patties weaving hats to sell?
I guess these hats can break down pretty easily as well once disposed of
the way that some of them captures light and reflection, translucent materials... neat!
You can get tangled up and lost looking at all these different jumbled twists and turns.
The top of this one reminded me of some weird alien dome structure
or the gentle rise of the hill the distance...
That's my photos in my story for today, I think tomorrow you'll see some photos of vegetables lol.
Truly appreciate you taking the time to come on by and let me know anyway I can assist you.
Cheers
