Vietnam Motherland: Catch Up #2

Hello fellow interweb friends!

Sorry I've lagged the last couple of days! The internet has been down at home, and I didn't feel like lugging my laptop around to the various coffee shops around here to post, but it's all good in the hood now! We found a way to use the neighbor's wifi, which is much faster than the one at home, which means I cannot be lagging anymore! Hahaha, unfortunately, I will only be in Nha Trang for about another week, and in Vietnam for a little over 10 days! Wowzers, cannot believe a month is about to go by so fast! But here are some pictures! My family got the hooker-uppers to stay at the Louisiane Brewhouse and got to enjoy the bestest view in the world, hope you guys enjoy!

(NO CAPTION NEEDED!)

Us girls can hang!

She's my cousin-in-law, but it doesn't feel that way at all! I'm closer to her than her husband who's my actual cousin...hahaha

This little man is the cutest runner in the world!

This is during the day time!

Hahaha double fisting everywhere I go! Even my cousins think I'm quite the drinker!

You know what happens after I get a few drinks in me?!?!?

Here is the majority of the family!

So here are only a few pictures from that day! We went back there again for drinks the night of the 4th, which I will share with you at another time! This weekend is going to be super fun because we are going to go hot spring bathing/mud bathing again! I think I will post up some pictures from the first time we went in the next blog, so keep an eye out for that! Gosh guys, I am having way too much fun, so it's kind of bittersweet to think I will be going home soon!

That's all for now,

Gotta go eat!

Vietnam Motherland: Day 3

Hello fellow interweb friends!

DAY 2 VIDEO WILL BE UP SOON GUYS! I'm just exporting it right now and will be uploading within today! I'm still new at posting videos and stuff, so some of my vlogs may be a day or so late, but no worries, I will definitely try to share as much of my adventure with you guys as possible! But here's a little tid bit for you to enjoy!

Hola from the 'Nam Land! Holy moly, this is the mothership of all delicious delicacies! This morning alone, I've had 2 coconuts, loads of fresh fruits, and as ridiculous as it sounds, some steamed bun and banh mi (which is like a Vietnamese sandwich, similar to the Lee's but better). I honestly think I am in food heaven because everyone is buying me food left and right and I'm being spoiled like no other just because my family hasn't seen me in about 4 years. I will have to show you the fruits that I've been scarfing down like there's no tomorrow soon! I am such a newbie at blogging haha I don't realize I need to take a picture to share with you guys until I've pretty much eaten all the foods! Thank goodness, I caught one of the delicious dishes on video today while my cousin was cooking it before it went down my tummy!

I am so in love with the fresh coconut juice here! Like my aunt brings back 10 coconuts a day and I down at least 2 after every meal, so pretty much, I drink up to like 5 of them a day. Like it tastes so refreshing and amazing and nothing like those nasty coconut water/juice thing we have at home in the cartons!

O and, another thing, the money here is crazy big! Hahaha, so the conversion rate between American money and Vietnamese money is for every American dollar, it is $20K in Viet money. So pretty much, I am a flippen bajillionaire here! Hahahaha, but in reality, that's barely anything since everything here costs in the thousands. But in general, I can live for about a week here with $10 USD, which is pretty neat! I definitely feel like a baller while I'm here hahaha, especially since my cousins won't let me pay for anything, so I just have these huge bills in my wallet for like ever!

Off to the beach I go now,

Adios muchachos!
