Vietnam Motherland: I-Resort

Hello fellow interweb friends!

Last weekend, my cousins took my brother and I to a neat little bathing place called I-Resort. It has mud baths and hot spring bathes and waterfall massages and all kinds of goody-goody gumdrops provided by nature! We, sadly, did not do the mud bath, but we had so much fun in the hot springs and waterfall things! It was so nice and relaxing there that my cousins and I didn't want to leave! We were chillin in the hot pool, and at some point, I think I may have taken a little cat nap...hahaha, but anyways, here are a few pictures from that day! My entire family will be going there again this weekend, which means I get to show you more stuff next time!

Chillin'

The "waiting" area.

View from my little sun bed that had an amazing cushion.

O, just the girls!

Don't mind the bad angle!

My cousin and I got kind of hungry...

They told me to fertilize the plants!

Just relaxing, waiting for the guys to get the bikes ready.

I swear, I didn't pee in my pants guys! Hahaha!
I cannot wait to go back this weekend! I will hopefully, be able to post the vlog from this day up today, so you guys can see the live version of the I-Resort and the weird things that I did. 

That's all for now,
See you soon,

Vietnam Motherland Catch Up Time

Hello fellow interweb friends!

So it's been a crazy week and I haven't really gotten a chance to write much on here, but I think pictures do worth more than words. I personally think I cannot describe how truly beautiful it is here right now, so I think I shall share some more pictures with you guys! I am sharing with you these pictures in its raw, unedited/filtered form just because it is just  beautiful the way it is!




All these pictures will were taken at the top story of the Sheraton Hotel here. We went for happy hour and I got to enjoy 2 delicious mango daquiris!!! Hahaha and it was super cheap cause their happy hour promo is buy one get one free! Speaking of which, my entire family will be going out there again in a little bit and enjoy ourselves a few dranky-dranks hahaha some goody-goody gumdrops, if ya'll know what I mean?!?!

And here's the most up-to-date vlog! I am uploading another one as I publish this blog, so I hope it will be up by tonight so you guys can see the vlog that was taken the same day as these pictures!

Off I go now,
Talk to you soon,

Vietnam Motherland: Day 4

Hello fellow interweb friends!

This first week is going by really fast, and I feel like the days will only go by faster and faster as this month goes on, which makes me feel a bit bittersweet just because that means my vacation is coming to an end, but I also get to go home to my friends and family back in the states...man, such complicated feelings! Anyways, I am so flippen sore from all the swimming and tanning today! I did not know tanning takes up so much energy guys! But then again, it might just be the salt water dehydrating me...hahaha whoops.

Ok, so this is going to sound ridiculously stupid, but I think my mouth hurts from eating too much pineapple! So today, after lunch, my cousin cut up some pineapple for us to eat as dessert cause I asked her to just feed me with loads of fruits and good sweets. I may have accidentally ate a little too much and now I honestly cannot feel my mouth! I soaked it in water and milk and tea, anything that is liquidy and cold, I soaked my tongue in, but still it hurts! Anyways, now I've kind of learned my lesson when it comes to pineapple!
Ok, so before I end this blog, I thought I'd share with you this delicious Australian milk. I used to love this as a child, but when my family left for the US, I had to stop drinking this cause we don't have this in the States. Anyways, this is the only kind of whole milk that I will voluntarily drink. It is not too thick like our American whole milk; it's like a creamier version of the skim milk. I just love this so much, like I can drink cartons of this a day and each box is about one liter.

Gotta go check on yesterday's vlog now,
Until next time,
With love,
Uyen

Vietnam Motherland: Day 1

Hello fellow interweb friends!

First off, I'd like to apologize for being such a sucky blogger lately, no excuses whatsoever, but now, I'm going to be a lot better at it! So if you're my friends, then you already know that I'm currently in Vietnam, and for those who know me through my blog, well, my family and I are vacationing in Vietnam right now to visit our family there! I will be there for about 4 weeks, which means, I will be posting loads and loads of beautiful/wonderful things that I experience during my trip here! I will be living in Nha Trang, which is a beautiful beach city along the coast of lower southern Vietnam and will end my trip in Saigon. 

Let's just start by telling you that the flight from LAX to Taipei was about 13.5 hours and then we had a 3 hour layover in Taipei. Then, the flight from Taipei to Saigon is about 3 hours. After we land in Saigon, we waited for about another 4 hours until we take a train to Nha Trang, which is going to be about 8 hours. So pretty much, I will be spending over 24 hours on some sort of transportation system, which is ridiculous, but to think, I will be vacationing with my family for an entire month definitely makes it not so bad!
Of course, I won't end this first Vietnam blog with just a bunch of hours and times I spend on planes, trains, and what not! So we must do a little airport outfit of the day/traveling attire! Since I knew my flight will be so flippen long and there's more sitting to do after, I decided to rock these floral leggings I got from Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago for only $5!!! And then, the top I wore is super flowy just to keep everything flowing and comfy. Let me tell you, everyone around me on the plane was complaining about how uncomfy they were, and I just sat back, relaxed, and watch all sorts of movies! And of course, being the typical southern California girl that I am, I rocked my Rainbows with everything I wore! Now, I know I probably should have worn some kind of tennis shoes or whatever, but that's fine, I was just sitting for hours on end, so flip flops are perfect! So pretty much, the moral of the story is to be super comfy but still looking good when you go on the plane!
And here, my brother and I were waiting to get our luggage, and let me tell you, that was a feat in itself because there was like a bajillion different kinds of boxes and other shenanigans! Thank goodness for my comfy clothes, or else getting the luggage would have been miserable too since I had to run around the conveyor belt thing to find our stuff!

That's all for now, 
With love,
Uyen
