Day Five - House Blessing

October 15, 2019


 Yo guys, I am back and I had a good sleep without any jetlag. So as you see the title "House Blessing" thats the part where it took eggxactly 3 hours to get to Hanoi to bless a house. Get the joke eggxactly egg--xactly.
Blessing a house means getting rid of bad spirits and asking for ancestor spirits to come. The shaman asked what I saw in the house and I said I saw tigers and dragons. Then he asked me to look into a bowl with water and roses. I saw royalty and more dragons, He told me to ride one dragon which I did.

 One thing you all can know about me that no one else knows except Bronwen, who already knows, is that I have "yin eyes." Plus we both read the book "The Girl With Ghost Eyes." So I have yin eyes which means I can see spirits that are in other realms. Some of them can physically harm but rarely do. But when I close my eyes I can see them much clearer. Sometimes when I sleep I go to the realm and be one of the spirits and I don't need a red string to get back. I wake up and I am back. Bye guys. Have a good time at school make the best of six hours of school, promise me that.

Thats looks so pretty! I agree with Ms.Chan, Dragon Fruit is very good! This reminds me of when I went to Japan and saw something similar to this! My mom says she liked the pots when we went there

Hi Toussaint! How many spirits were there and what did they look like? Draw me a picture and post it so I can see. How many bombs have you found so far? How many have you detonated? (Haha just kidding.) But do draw a picture of the spirits to show me. Crumple is still alive (I think. He was up on the wall this morning.) School is the same as always. I think we should perform an egg xactly (Please forgive me if I'm not spelling it right) in both the school and my house (I have a lot of bad spirits,or shadow beings, following me.) How did it feel to ride a spirit? Please tell me. Bye!

Jr. - Thanks Jr. Still no jetlag for me.
Anonymous - The food is delicious in Vietnam. Next time sign your name.
Ms. Chan - House blessing is getting rid of bad sprits that want to eat food off the family alter. The family altar is for the family ancestors, so we call the family ancestors to come and eat the food and keep the house and the family safe.
Anisa - I like the beach too but it's getting a little cold here. It's kinda of tough you couldn't bring your bunny back.
Max - The decorations came with the apartment.
Blake - That's amazing you can see your uncle. I guess you have "yin eyes" too. It was awesome to ride the dragon.
Michael - The Shaman told my mom to tell me to ride the dragon so I did. But on the other side, I just thought I rode the dragon on my own. I prefer the dragon and I don't know if I can ride the tiger. I did not try.
Mia - I also like dragon fruit a lot.
Unknown - If you sign your name, I can know who to teach using chopsticks.
The Tiger Rises/Broen - I saw the dragons and tigers, the general Tran Hung Dao, the army of tons of soldiers, and people in royal robes.
Yaya - Hi, Yaya, I miss you.

Day Six - A Normal Day in Ha Long Bay

Image
October 16, 2019 Ahoy seagulls, wait, no, you are land dwellers. Har har har. Well yee day was normal and I am going to get back to normal talking instead pirate language. For breakfast we went to some food stalls in an alley way near my school. I had banh bao (steamed bread stuffed with meats and eggs), vegetarian scrambled eggs, cha gio (pork sausage), xoi (sticky rice), and ice tea – all Vietnamese food I love. When my mom went to pay, it all cost only $1.50!! I was surprised that it did not cost a lot at all. Then I had to go to the place where I get tutored. Normally it is for 3 hours or more but now because I get my work done faster, I can leave after 2 hours. Today it rained so I couldn't go swimming. So, my mom went to get me a chess set and paper to draw instead. At the supply store I saw Halloween stuff. My mom was right, they do celebrate Halloween in Vietnam. I literally cried when I thought I may miss Halloween. Now I can celebrate in Viet Nam too. Then we we

Heading Back to Ha Long Bay

Image
I am going to Ha Long Bay with my mother. She is a professor that is researching in Vietnam. I will learn about the history of the Bay. I know that there are high levels of pollution there. I saw it last time I went to Ha Long. I will try to learn more about the environment and try to help with clean up. My mother will be working with a Shaman who is a spiritual healer. I sometimes think I have special powers too. For instance, I can sometimes see spirits an channel the dead. Ha Long Bay is a magical place with many spiritual wonders. I can hardly wait to go again. I will go swimming every day if I finish my homework from Ms. Chan. I wish this was a vacation with no homework but it sadly is :( At least I can blog to you dudes and dudettes of the fun I am having. This was a picture of me when I was in Ha Long Bay at 8 years old.
