The Long Road to Buôn Ma Thuột

The Constant Epicurean, Ep. 190, The Long Road to Buôn Ma Thuột. Probably my most ambitious article to date. Nothing extra ordinary, just a couple of weeks between our return to Da Nang from Na Trang before leaving a long country ride to the mountain city of Buon Ma Thuot. We revisit the Lady Buddha, explore spirituality, eat some wonderful food, and head out on an adventure yet to be written. Quan returns with us to Da Nang before we head to Dak Lak, and it's a long read. The longest article I've written to date, And probably one I'm most proud of. So if your interested in exploring and learning things you've never known, then buckle up for the Long Road to Buôn Ma Thuột.
