Day 27 - Top Ten Things I Will Miss About Vietnam

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 of begging, my mom got a moped for our last two weeks in Viet Nam. My mom said we can get her old moped going in Oakland so that will be fun.


 I loved scaring everyone for Halloween.
I wish I could stay longer in Vietnam.

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...

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.

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...
