Day 12 - The Day of Amazingness (aka allowance)

Hey guys I am back playing blog LOL.


Okay, so the title of the blog wasn't named what it is for no reason. It is because I got to my first allowance today for washing dishes all week. I get to buy what my mommy doesn't want to get for me because it's not "healthy." I bought gummy bears because they are yummy and gum for good breath.

Most of the day I got to binge on Rick and Morty on Netflix. I know you think I am crazy but the Vietnam TV has the old version of Netflix, like really old. Anyway, it's a show about a drunk genius scientist grandpa and his sidekick grandson, Morty, traveling through the universe togehter. I think Morty is exactly like me because he's kinda dumb, not good in math at all, but up for anything. My favorite episode so far was when aliens were these weird characters that implanted memories of themselves on the family. One was called Mr. Poopie Butthole. How funny is that????

Oh, and I went to school and I found out there is a time scam. My mom said I only need to go to 2 hours of tutoring. I got to school at 8:00am and I left at 11:40am. I was suppose to leave at 11:30am. If it's 2 hours of tutoring, I should leave at 10am. So, I go to school for 3.5 hours, not 2 hours. And once my mom left me for 6 hours because she had jetlag. That is just wrong. And my Kumon teacher reads my blogs and reminds me to do Kumon every day!!! Ms. Jackie is tough. That's pretty funny though.

At night we found a seafood stand. I just wanted banh mi/bread but my mom wanted to try snails and quail eggs. I had sausages and mini meat balls. I didn't want to try the other stuff. My mom makes a rule where if we travel with her, we have to try a bite of everything. I totally do not follow that rule.

For dessert we found another street stand that sold boba tea. That was cool.

Goodnight.

Your stories attract me a lot. I have taught you for 7 days and I am very surprised by your smart. You dont like anything related to Math but you calculate everything well. You will have a lot of interesting experiences in Vietnam

The stories are as interesting as the "book the girl with ghost eyes." You should look it up, it is a really good book. I am smart, you're smart too. I am really good at calculating and I do hate math. Knowing math will be helpful in the future. I do have amazing experiences here.

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...

Day Three - The Market

Image
October 13, 2019 The Market  This morning Co  Oanh and Bi came to see us ( wife and son of the Shaman) . We were hungry, so they took us to have  banh cuon  for breakfast, it is  some sort of rice dish with meat. I had it many times before. It was pretty good here, especially cha lua ( fish patty)  that came with it. But, I think it was made of squid instead, cha muc. Then we went to a coffee shop. We were there for a LOOOONG time because my mom ordered filter drip coffee and it takes forever to drip (see pix). I didn't mind because Bi knows a lot of kids in the neighborhood and we hung out playing miniature pool and even crossed the street by ourselves to meet with other kids.  After breakfast we went to the market to get ingredients to make lunch.  The market was crazy because people drove TANKS in there. LOL Okay, just kidding, why would they do that? It is still crazy though, because instead of tanks, they drove mopeds and motorbikes...

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.
