Bia A-Hoi

When we arrived in Vietnam, we were told that the cheapest drink that we had found --- bia hoi --- was only available in Hanoi. For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of visiting Vietnam, bia hoi is a cheap, refreshing beer. It's sold by vendors in the street or in tiny cafes, populated with the more interesting locals. It's great stuff.

Holly and I seem to have a knack of finding this stuff. We're now in Nha Trang, which is pretty far south and on the coast, and the local bia hoi happens to be San Miguel. It's 5000 dong a litre, which works out at about 15p a glass. Fantastic.
