Day 23 - Visiting a Village and Temple of Thai Thuong Lao Quan


Okay, I'm back. I did a lot of stuff today. We took a long trip to the temple of Thai Thuong Lao Quan. He's the highest being and father off all things. I went on a fancy bus as you can see in the photo. Those are my friends, Viet and Phuc.

After we got to the temple I bowed 10 times. Me and my friends went to the farm area and played around. I got dirty and soon we started to throw huge rocks in a mucky river. I found a wooden plank that was broken and looked like a spear. Viet found some butterfly eggs and two butterflies. I'm not going to say what she did to them, oh fine, she killed them.  😑😐💀She said the eggs will turn to caterpillars and eat the leaves. So, ya, she stomped on the eggs and butterflies. I was shocked.

We then went home and my mom made me delicious ramen noodle and salmon. She also got this fruit called, breast milk (vu sua). It taste like all the fruits I've ever tasted put together. Pretty good stuff.

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.
