Day 5 and 6 and 7

Hey Blog,



sorry bout missing days... had a ver early morning saturday so i was not able to actually post one. but friday started out the same as always early morning and the same food as every other morning. we had another very very interesting business class on stuff we didnt know... then more vietnamese language we finally got a sheet with all the information on it so that really helped out. i still am terrible at everything though.

after school and lunch we went to an awesome company site visit, granted i know nothing about engineering, but the chairman was really intertesting. he had escaped Viet Nam after the war with his aunt and uncle, grew up in America and has now moved back to Viet Nam to start a company. after the site visit he took us and his employees down to the coffee shop in his building and bought everyone coffee.

then we almost got destroyed during rush hour traffic by the traffic cop with a stick and a hawaiian shirt on. once we arrived at the families house we were going to eat dinner we got a tour at got to see the saigon river at night. the dinner was alot of fish so kinda passed on it except for the one that looked like chicken. (mom because of that fish bumps/ hives appeared on my knees. so HA. love u still and happy mothers day i got u two things already so dont worry.) after dinner we had a nice shot of banana wine pretty strong stuff. when we got back to the hotel i was not feeling well so i had an early night.

saturday we woke up an hour earlier. that sucked. we got in the bus and went down to the mekong delta for the day. on the way we stopped at a vietnamese soldiers memorial site. it was a very odd feeling being there because of past events between our countries. then we stopped at caodi which is a combiation of basically every religion ever.

at the delta we travelled around on the boat and made stops at different places along the shore. we stopped for fresh fruit, homemade candy, where we got stuck in a monsoon and watched parts of the roof blow off. after the rains slowed we got back on the boat and went off for lunch. after lunch we headed bak to ho chi minh city so we could meet up with some vietnamese students and go to a vietnamese club.

on sunday (love ya mom) we had a vietnamese cooking class for the morning till lunch. we were given money and were told what and how much to buy and then head back tothe man's shop to prepare the food. we spent the morning cooking and eating food.

after cooking we went to a water park and were literally dragged around by kids from a vietnamese orphanage. the water park was awesome and i had a great time. i would not have minded if the kids had a little less energy then they did but still it was very fun.

after the water park we went to a vietnamese cafe for, terrible idea, seeing as how we waited for our food for a good hour and a half. after dinner we went to an ice cream shop for dessert. then a couple of us took a walk around the city. after our walk we stayed in and hung out at the hotel.
