Street side seafood until midnight 13 alive arin uses

A group of Barbara's coworkers gathered for a seafood feast at the place where I go with Arin to buy vegetables.  When purchasing vegetables, we had seen muscles, clams and what not displayed. Seafood sitting in the hot sun all day did not look safe, so up until now, I'd not had the chance to accompany a meal. But when we ordered our food tonight, it was still alive.  This is how it is kept safe.  The street side eateries are filled with child size wooden chairs or plastic step stools as seats.  The plastic or wooden tables are also child sized.  Under the table is just dirt, and the motorbikes are about 5 feet away.  In other words, it is not clean, but if you want to be in Vietnam you just have to embrace it.  We had to wait until everyone got off work, so we went to eat at 9:15 pm.  At one point, Barbara noticed that the traffic had stopped.  We did not finish until well after midnight. What a great final memory of Vietnam.
