You may know Vietnam for its tasty and easy-to-eat dishes like Pho, Banh mi, Bun Cha,... Do you know that this country has many weird food in Vietnam which can strike terror into your heart.
1 - Mam tom (fermented shrimp paste)
Top-notch on the list of the weirdest food in Vietnam that almost all travelers are scared to try. As a condiment for dipping like fish sauce, this pasty mixture made by fermenting raw shrimps with salt gives out a much stronger odor. It is said to be similar to the smell of rotten foods or dead mouse bodies. The stink will continue to stick to the breath, hair and clothes of the eater for so long after eating. This is also the very reason why shrimp paste becomes an sworn enemy of a remarkable number of people. However, to those who are in love with it, “mam tom” is an indispensable part of dishes such as dog meat, cold rice vermicelli with tofu and shrimp paste, snail vermicelli soup, crab paste vermicelli soup,...
2 - Thit chuot (Rat meat)
In Vietnam, rat meat is not served as a daily and popular food like pork, beef or chicken. However, in some areas like Tu Son city (Bac Ninh province), Hoai Duc district, Thach That district (Hanoi), it is a special dish that always appears on the worship tray or in big or small parties of the local people. Rat meat receives a lot of preference from consumers, of which evidence is its good sales. You may wonder if they aren’t afraid of catching bubonic plague. Actually yes, they are, yet the reason they still take it is that it is rice-field rat, not sewer one, hence the possibility that it has pathogens is modest.
3 - Thang co (Horse meat & offal hot pot)
“Thang co” is a dish that is attached to the Northwest of Vietnam. The dish is cooked by making the best use of the horse's body. Everything, even the colon is put into a pot and simmered with typical spices for hours. The recipe and the unpleasant smell makes almost all visitors even the boldest men concerned with hygiene. In fact, all the ingredients must go through a careful preliminary process before being served, thus there is no need to worry.
4 - Nam pia
At the end of the list of top weirdest food in Vietnam is Nam Pia. “Nam pia”- a special dish of the mountainous northwestern Vietnam is a real challenge to anyone. The meaning of its name has revealed the horror elements: “nam pia '' in the Vietnamese ethic language means “young feces soup”. What is more disgusting than food made from...crap? But, what is called “young feces' ' is in fact, the fluid in the small intestine of the cattle (in this case it is herbivore such as cow, goat, buffalo,...). The local people suppose it is the finest, most quintessential part of the animal since it is the food digested and about to absorb into blood veins to create energy for the body. Therefore, this dish is really nutritious. One more surprising thing ís that it has never caused a stomach ache to anyone.
A ver si alguien me puede ayudar ya que hay poco en el foro de esta zona de EEUU.
Probablemente hagamos una parada de un día en Houston. LLegaremos al aeropuerto IAH pensábamos pillar un hotel en el centro de la ciudad e ir al NASA Johnson Space Center y al día siguiente coger nuestro avión para seguir la ruta. Mi pregunta es: el transporte desde aeropuerto ciudad y ciudad a la NASA tiene buena comunicación? Dónde sería conveniente pillar el hotel (alguna recomendación) para poder moverme a ambos sitios sin problema? Por lo que he visto no hay mucho más que ver por la zona entiendo que rodeos en febrero habrá pocos.
El tema es que vamos con nuestra bebé de 10 meses y para nosotros es mejor evitar cualquier trote que indique mucho transbordo entre carritos, pañaleras,etc. mejor.
Gracias.
Desde IAH/George Bush Intercontinental Airport hasta el *NASA Johnson Space Center* son 47 millas/75 kms o una hora minimo en auto.
En taxi unos 105USD por viaje.
En transporte publico son 2.5 horas! NASA esta al Sur de Houston.
Desde IAH/George Bush Intercontinental Airport hasta *Down-town* son 27 millas/44 kms o una media-hora minimo en auto.
En transporte publico son desde 50 a 90 minutos x 1.25USD!
Down-town esta al Sur del aero-puerto.
En taxi calcular unos 60USD por tramo.
Sin saber los horarios me permito sugerir, elegir un hotel cerca de IAH.
En el mismo aero-puerto esta el Marriott, buen *break-fast*
Y alquilar un auto, no es dificil navegar TX/Texas.
Tambien calcular tiempo de la visita a NASA.
Solo permanecen abiertos desde las 10:00 hasta las 17:00. spacecenter.org/ ...formation/
Enjoy!
@carolco Muchas gracias. En Principio tenemos bastante tiempo nuestro avión llega a las 5: 00 am y saldríamos a las 12 del mediodía siguiente por eso pensábamos que era mejor opción pillar alojamiento en el centro.Así también ver un poco la ciudad y probar la comida local. Lo del coche lo veo complicado porque es solo mi marido el que conduce y no se ha sacado el carnet internacional en España. Por eso, pensaba que era buena opción el tranporte público si hay una buena combinación sin transbordos o quizás un UBER.
A tener en cuenta:
- El check-in seria despues de las 14:00
- Si el vuelo de las 12:00 es internacional, hay que calcular 3 horas antes.

Yo fui con Toris ( hermano joven de Jenie) en un klotok para 3 personas y fue una de las mejores experiencias en Indonesia durante Agosto de 2013.
Nosotros llegamos un día antes de iniciar el viaje a Pangkalan Bun por tema de fin de fiestas de Ramadan nos toco esperar un día y también fue toda una experiencia con la gente local...fotos por todo el pueblo ( al estilo de Bienvenido Mister Marshall) incluso nos invitaron a helados, :).
Aunque los hostel de Pangkalan Bun dejan mucho que desear de lo peorcito que vi en Indonesia....no es broma, son dignos de una peli de terror. ( normalmente todo el mundo inicia el viaje el mismo día de llegada...si está pactado y es lo que yo recomendaría).
Después de varios emails de regateo pagamos por 3 adultos el precio total es 4.800.000 IDR ( 3 días/ 2 noches ): this price incloude taxi pick up from airport and back to airport, noche del primer día de llegado en hostel. Y después ya lo típico: boat, guide, cook, food, water, snack, police permit, ranger fee and park ticket!!
