Café Mộng Cầm. Two nights ago, Suki and I dropped in here after an hour at Bình Phú Park. Mộng Cầm can be translated as "Dream Zither," and super literate Vietnamese may realize it's the name of a lover of poet Hàn Mặc Tử (1912-40).

We had an excellent soursop smoothie, and the lady's husband put on some English language music for us, with the first song the trippy and slightly dorky "Lemon Tree" by the German group, Fools Garden.

On a ceiling beam, there was a silhouette skyline with this caption, "DUBAI CITY OF GOLD."
