Lunch
at Ngoc Bien
Serving
lunch for guests from the Population Council.
With an active amplified karaoke cafe on either side of this home/restaurant,
lunch was incredibly noisy.
A fad for karaoke bars has swept through Vietnam in recent years. In the cities
many of them are rather sleazy and not much singing actually goes on, but out
here off-key Khmer ballads seemed to be a favorite midday pastime.
