Day 21 - Rainy Day (Last Day in Hanoi)


Hey guys! I AM bacK and cold as heck because the rain.

On the last day of Hanoi, my mom got me up early to go to a meeting at a cafe shop on Hoan Kiem Lake (aka Restored Sword Lake). She told me that the lake has a legend. Long ago, King Le Loi was boating on the lake when a turtle god asked him for his sword. This sword was given to him by the dragon god to defeat the Chinese. So, King Le Loi went on one more battle before returning the sword to the turtle king. I wonder if the turtle god still lives at the lake. The lake looks a little dirty.

Then my mom left me in the rain because she ran off to get some last minute stuff for the small travel alter and the big ceremony in Halong. Before that my mom was interviewed in an old coffee shop. There we went all the way to the roof. It was totally scary climbing up the narrow stairs and the rain got me too. When they interviewed my mom, I played Merge Tower Bots and got a robot that looked like Medusa.

After that my mom made me walk through the rain to do more shopping for my teachers. Then we took a fancy bus home. When I went through a toll bridge my Ipad turned off and I was really sad. I thought it would never turn on again. I literally cried! I got home relaxed and went to school even though it was already 4:00pm. Well that's all for today byee.

Day Six - A Normal Day in Ha Long Bay

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.
