Day 19 - Running Around Ha Noi

Image
HeY gUYs iM BaKC bLOGinG. Today I had to go to a meeting with my mom at the Women's Union. Then the director of the Vietnam Women Museum took us to that museum where there were rooms about women in the Vietnam war times and other times.  My mom was into the museum but I really was bored at other parts like at the last area which was the fashion area. I was really interested in the war part. These women who worked on planting rice while a stealth fighter came by and fired a missile barrage on the field. The women had rifles on their back and if the string they had to plant the rice with broke they tied it again. I don't get why they didn't shoot the plane after it passed the field. We also had pho for lunch at the museum and it was really good. I like pho in Hanoi. Well, after the museum my mom's friend, bac Lien, took us around to look for my costume. She got me a cool black ao dai which I could use as a costume for the Grim Reaper. Then my mom got me some ethnic c

Day 18 - First Day in Ha Noi

Hey guys it's me Pilot Ninja 6, thats my name from War Robots. Today I went to Hanoi. It took 2 hours too get to Hanoi and the mini van that I was in was fancy with wifi. But, it was so bumpy like a roller coaster ride because they had bad suspension. How dumb is that? We are staying in this place call Pho Co/Old Quarters. Every street has a special name depending on what they are selling. We are on Hang Giay/Show Street. They use to sell shoes here a long time ago. Now they sell CANDY! How lucky am I. I hope my mom lets me buy some. When we go to our AirBnB, we had literally 30 seconds to get ready because my mom's friend was picking us up to go to a meeting. He runs the largest ecotourism company in Southeast Asia. They talked a lot then he took us to another meeting. The meeting was at an ao dai shop again, because my mom had to interview the designer. Her other friend, a silversmith, Bac Lien, was also there. I thought I was going to be bored so I started drawing.

Day 17 - Taking Eastern Medicine

Image
Hey, guys, I am back but in pain today. I had to drink an herbal tea (thuoc bac) three times a day that would help me with my kidney problem. You know, like in the movie isle of dogs with the kid who lost his kidney in a train crash. The drink takes all day to brew. It's from like a dozen different times of herbs that maybe look like cinnamon and some bark? I really don't know. The dosage of herbs is double the size of my head. It's then put in a pot so simmer for hours. So, I drank the tea, once it was done brewing, which was super bitter. I was mad because the medicine man said he would sweeten it or it would be sweet after it brews. Of corse he lied or his idea of sweet is super biter. :( I spent the whole day being forced too drink three cups –breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So, one at breakfast one was awful so I didn't finish until lunch when my mom added sugar. For the lunch and dinner one, it taste better because my mom puts sugar again to cut the bitter. Well,

Day 16 - Very Long and Tiring Sunday

Image
Aloha guys! I'm back blogging. I did a lot this Sunday.  So first I got breakfast and went to the same alleyway I always go to. I had my new favorite dish, a leaf scramble with sausage in a baguette roll. Food was good but I was sleepy and tried to sleep for a few more minutes waiting for my food. Then I went to school. I fell asleep in school a few times. I woke up a one second each time. My teacher took pictures. I finished my work though. After school my mom was about 10 minutes late to get me. When we went outside she said the moped in front of the school looked pretty sweet and wouldn't it be cool if it was ours. Then she said, hey, look, there's a key in the ignition, so why don't we steal it. I had to block her with my body because I didn't want to go to jail in Viet Nam. She was really into stealing my teacher's moped and I literally had to beg her to stop. Then she started laughing her butt off and said she had gotten it from a friend. I totall

Day 15 - Soccer and Stuff

Hey guys I am back with my dude blogger and I hope you guys are having fun. I'm having fun, and not in the sun but, in the temple/mansion. So, I went to get breakfast and, surprised, we went to a bakery instead of our alleyway. I and got a cake and a pastry with meat inside it called b ánh patê sô.  I also ordered a boba milk tea that tasted like coffee (I IS CAFEEN FREE$$$).  After breakfast I went to school and finished early. I was then FREE. My teacher took me this place called "Royaltea" where I met up with my teacher's old students (Royaltea is one word because it is a company name, duh). On the way back to class we ran into my mom on the street. Then my teacher spent a long time talking to my mom. Apparently she thinks I'm really smart but only interested in exciting work. I also have to memorize my times tables she said. I know my times tables though. We went home after the very loooong report.  My mom made then made me go to lunch even tho

Day 14 - Packed Day

Yo, guys what is up? I am really hot and it is night time, like are you kidding me? So I am at a temple. Well, not like a straight up temple, it's kinda like a mansion. So I did some stuff today like get breakfast which was okay. We are regulars now at that stand and we see the exact same people there every day. There's this guy with short hair and black clothes. Then there's a teenager on a moped. He's quite strong. He can swing the whole moped around 360 degrees with just his leg and hands. Then I went to school, which is right across the street. I was tired but doing the work like a boss not a nub. After a 3 hour work day I went home. The weather is trying to change. It even rained. It was kinda cool for two days then it got hot again.  It's like it's moving from summer to winter, no fall. Global warming is real y'all. So, on this hot day, I went to the beach and swam for an hour or more. The tide was higher than last time, so the sand was much sof

Day 13 - Drawings

Image
Hey, guys, so I was getting bored today and I decided to draw some random stuff I have been thinking about. The drawing are when I get bored and want to get on my ipad to play Minecraft but  my mom says no more screen time. The weapons drawing includes the spear from the visions when I went to the spirit world. General Tran Hung Dao uses a jade spear. Regular soldiers like I used knives in the war. The shaman said he saw the same weapons. The dragon colors also come from my visions. The dragons I saw were green, blue, and gold. I also made a replica of the Titanic I hope you guys like. Did you know that the Titanic had two other sister ships and one did not stay on the ocean long because it got hit by another ship? The same captain of that sister ship then went on to be the captain of the Titanic. I cannot believe 1,500 died because of an iceberg. It's the captain's fault really, and not enough life boats. For lunch we had cơm bình dân, which is for normal people or labo
