-Practicing my Vietnamese... I can handle a taxi or moto like nobody's business, order food, ask for directions when I inevitably get lost (a common theme of this blog will surely be my ridiculous sense of direction and the many 'adventures' that result), and I know enough to make people smile in most situations. By far my favorite experience has been bargaining at the markets. Next time you see me, ask me to give you my best- "Mắc quá! Bớt đi! Trới ới" (Too expensive, discount it, OMG!)
Shopping with Phoebe-Checkin' out various Buddhist and Taoist pagodas, Christian churches, and even a Hindu shrine. Feeling far more spiritual than ever before.
Jade Emperor Pagoda-Enjoying some of the goofiness that is 'nam. For example: I fed an elephant today. It grabbed bamboo shoots and carrots right out of my hand. So wild.
You'd think there would be a bigger fence-Eating some of the most delicious food ever.
rất ngon!-Hanging out with some of the coolest Vietnamese friends a girl could have
...and just loving my time here and feeling so lucky.
