Over the course of 16 days, through a combination of personal and professional travels, I will be in 12 localities across 7 countries, eating and documenting at least 1 meal in each of them.

Mission to Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Day 4 of 4)

In transit, on my way to Korea via Vietnam.  Tuesday to today, I was in Laos with a WHO team to facilitate a government workshop on policy coherence for nutrition.  Dropping by home to see the family before flying to Fiji for another workshop.

The flight to Korea followed the exact same itinerary as on my previous return from Laos, including the same venue for dinner inside the airport in Hanoi, same dish, same beverage (see previously 3.272 Pho Ga), though the pho seemed much more pedestrian this time.
