Things

1) we ate dog. It was gross, and not to mention we heard a dog barking in the restaurant before we got our food!

2) We motorbike like it is nobodies business. People have more motorbikes than cars here! Because people don't really follow the whole go the direction that traffic is going, we frequently are somewhat fearful for our lives, but we love it! I want to learn to drive one before I leave!

3) Hai wanted us to sing "It is Well" at his church, and that has to be one of the many funny experiences we have had so far. Or maybe it was just awkward..

4) The beaches here are amazing! It is weird because people go in with their clothes on, and more often than not you can always spot a handful of men wearing speedos or something of the sorts. We have to watch out for jellyfish, but other than that...

5) we went to an artist district to buy things for people back home, and got to stop at a place called Marble Mountain on the way there. It is literally right next to an old US Air Force Base during the war, and in it the Vietnamese somehow had a hospital in a giant cave in the mountain. We got to roam around the mountain and take pictures and such, it was amazing!

6) Vietnam possibly has some of the coolest cafes EVER. I am in heaven...there is boba tea everywhere as well as amazing the coffee. The coffee here is served in very small portions, so it will be interesting to go back to the States and get coffee there! Two of our interpreters took my teaching partner and I out after class yesterday, to this cafe with rad art all over the walls, and there were seats that look like park benches, but without the legs so you are pretty much sitting on the ground. There were even these shiny dragonflys hanging from the cieling, along with sweet techno music playing. There are differen't rooms too so you can go and do hw in one, or go to another where it is definitely louder. Not to mention, they serve you your drink in wine goblets...which just adds to the coolness of it :) All I can say, is that there are some things that only Asian countries can pull off, and cafes like this is one of them!

7) We took some of the kids from Fisher's SuperKids on an environmental walk. Pretty much we walked to a park and picked up trash along the way, then played on a playground there....in the 100 degree humid weather. Other than that though it was fantastic :)

8) Teaching around 35 kindergardners english is definitely interesting to say the least. Half the time we want to pull out our hair because they have no attention span, but really we love them! It is awesome to be able to teach them and play games with them without using tactics like smacking them to get them to move into a circle (an example) and such like a lot of the teachers at the school do. One of the teachers has the kids sing a song to get into a circle where the kids hold the shoulders of the person in front of them, and I always jump in line with them....because I fit right in :)

9) We decided to go to the movies as a team and see I Love You Man...so funny! The theater is nice, and we were all reminded of home while in it (minus the asian snacks we were eating)

Well there is lots more to say, but of course I can't remember it all right now. I am really enjoying my time here, and am being taught a lot through the lives of the people we come in contact with.
