I made a list of things I will not miss and it is literally three things I wont miss. Turns out I won't miss much about Vietnam at all. • Waiting for my mom for two hours in cloths stores. • Having to wake up early to go to school. Sometimes I fall asleep at breakfast. I always beg my mom for more minutes. • And last but not least, drinking thuốc bác. It still tastes like tar even though I don't know what tar taste like. At least I don't have to do that anymore.

Hey guys and galls I am back blogging to you so I am going to be close to leaving soon and I am going to tell you about today. I did not do a lot of stuff I got to go to a massage place but me and my mom had to ask multiple people in massage places if they did body massage. We finally found a place to get a body massage and the women wanted to talk to me but I did not understand them because they were speaking Vietnamese. we really were at the place all day. I went to school did what I usually do but i got done early and ran away from three babies but one is a toddler 👶👶👧thats all I really did today but go to the shaman eat dinner at his place and go too the temple/mansion well thats it because this is present byeeee 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

Hey, guys and galls I am back and I only have four days until I leave Vietnam. I already miss Vietnam. Here are the top ten things I will miss about Vietnam (in no particular order).  I loved all the fresh fruits, especially drinking coconut juice from the coconut! Wish I could bring the warm beach with me back to the US. I want to take the flying fish we saw too. I will miss my Shaman training and hangout out at temple of the Shaman's family. Breakfast in our neighborhood alleyway. I will especially miss the veggie omelet sandwich.  I will miss taking cool transportation everywhere.  Ms. Hong, my teacher., because she is awesome. She helps me out a lot with my school work. We even have the same necklace!  My mom never lets me drink soft drinks in the US. But she let me drink in Vietnam because I told her it will help drink the bitter thuoc bac. I will not miss thuoc bac, but I will miss Pepsi. After two weeks...

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'...

Whats up guys I am back and I had a huge adventure today (oh,  come on, I have hiccups just right now, who cares!). So, the trip was awesome and I had so much fun. In the morning I had to drink my medicine YUCK!! After I took the medicine I went down stairs to Vinmart (like convenience store) and bought an apple BY MYSELF with my allowance! Soon after that my mom and I rode around on the moped looking for a food place. We ended up at a place called Rock pizza because I was in a mood for "American" food. My mom ordered a "small" hamburger that looked like a slider. The Vietnamese pronounce it "ham buh gah". We shared the two dishes. It was so good. We then went back to my mom's favorite cloths store in Ha Long where her friend is the shop owner. We ordered drinks. I ordered pinneaple juice and my mom order coffee with an egg inside. I didn't know what it was so I tried it. It tasted like caramel, pretty good. I didn't know an egg in coffee ...

Yo guys what's up? Today I slept like 14 hours. I had afternoon class so my mom let me sleep in. I had breakfast after lunch :D. School was fun. I missed my teacher so it was good to see her. When my mom picked me up, she wanted to eat seafood again. She got me something fried. It was pretty good.  The owner of the seafood stand was feeding his baby while it was on the phone. That's weird, right? Then we went home and binged watched Avatar. I remember a lot of it even though I watched it many years ago. My favorite character is Aang. I like him because he's the Avatar and has been through so much but still fights the fire nation. Also, I had to take thuoc bac medicine all day today. I have to admit, I'm getting really good at it. It still tastes so bad but I can do it now. My mom calls me her thuoc bac hero because I can drink it like a boss. After dinner we went for tofu dessert. I don't like it so my mom finished mine. I also ran into a friend at my sch...
