Da Lat is very different than what I expected. It feels like we're in another (European) country. It's cooler and not quite as humid and the streets are like walking in a maze. We walked down to the market last night in search of cinnamon, which proved to be a challenge. Even though the best cinnamon in the world comes from Vietnam, they don't use it in their cooking so no one knows what it is. We had to spell it out for all the vendors and finally one of them found some and came running after us. The sticks are about as long as my forearm! They should last us a while.
Interesting. Well, I suppose the best export is the kind you have no desire to use yourself. Go for maximum profit. Still... not using cinnamon at all? Well, no Cinnabon stores branching out into the secluded wilds of Da Lat, I suppose.
