Day 25 - Thay Boi (Fortune Teller)


Hey, guys and gals. I'm back ✌✋and I am two days behind my blogging. So I have to catch up tonight.


So, I went to a Thầy Bói which is known as a fortune teller. 👳The Thầy Bói was a woman but the Emoji I have now is the only one that is some man with the turban. I also am practicing to use Vietnamese font. It's soooo cool. Anyway, my mom got some really nice fruits for her altar. It's tradition to bring things to people's home when you visit them. So, since we were going to shrine, she brought fruits for the ancetors and gods.

My mom was there for research but the Thầy Bói read my fortune. I din't like what she had to say about my future. My mom told me that if your will is strong enough, you can make your own future. I know I'll be someone great, like an architect, so I don't care. My mom told me I have to work hard to make my own destiny. She means more homework. Not sure I can do that. After the Thầy Bói did the fortune for me, I fell asleep. I'm not sure if I went into a trance or fell asleep, but I passed out.

My mom woke me up then went back home and I watched the show Avatar the last Airbender. It is not on Netflix for the U.S.A. because the tech they have old stuff like my favorite show as a kid, Green Lantern. I watched it with my dad and sister. The end of the series Avatar was amazing (the grammar correct is making me have to say other things like amazing even though I don't want to 😡😤) A really sad part - after I went to school for four hours my mom and I forgot to make dinner 😰😭😣😢😂😁. Well, bye guys see ya next time. Here are the pics.

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.
