The Checklist

When I got to Dalat, I felt kind of bored but that soon changed as I met a girl from Winnipeg and we were off on a motorbike adventure with a rather odd checklist...

Silk factory
Elephant waterfall
coffee farm where they have the "weasel shit coffee"
Rice wine distillery
Buddhist pagoda
Ride the epic Gondola to the most massive Buddhist complex of temples and epic garden

We found all of these things, check out how awesome it was!

The silk factory: turning caterpillar shit into clothing of all colours and patterns





Then we ate the silkworms


Elephant Fall


Vietnam you make me feel Aliiii iii iii iiive!


The Pagoda where we took a calm moment aside to meditate


Then back to drinking and mayhem, this time not waiting for it to be bottled but getting it straight from the vat. Mo, Hai, Bot, YO!

MY INSIDES ARE ON FIRE!

The biggest buzz came from the Civet-processed coffee, otherwise colloquially known as the "weasel shit coffee".

It is the most expensive coffee to make. It packs quite a punch and has a premium taste, qualities which they attribute to the beans having passed through this animal, the civet, prior to being roasted:


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
