1 week to go!

We are all very exited but nervous. I find it so funny that so many people are asking me to take them with me in my suitcase! 😄 my room is now filled with boxes of stuff that we are packing up as we are renting the place out while we go away. (There are about 20 boxes in my room right now!)

Leaving Singapore and going to Vietnam!

Image
First thoughts of Singapore. Singapore has been fun, but also pretty disappointing. The New Years Eve fireworks had no countdown and didn’t feel special because of that. I went to the ice cream museum but there was not a lot written about ice cream and for the cost, (which was $50 per person) was very disappointing. They give you unlimited ice cream but only a few flavours, and didn’t know if there were nuts in anything. The hostel that I stayed in was pretty nice, and was very close to china town! There were also lots of places to eat while walking around. The only thing that is bad about walking around in china town is the durian smell. Apparently durian is delicious, but one of the worst smelling fruit in the world. While I was in Singapore I also went to the gardens by the bay, and it had an Avatar experience! There was a screen where you could turn yourself into an Avatar person and it was so cool (but also hilarious)! Another place that was pretty cool is the science museum! Ther...

Leaving Vietnam

    Hello! I am leaving vietnam and going to Cambodia today. Vietnam has been way outside of my comfort zone, and I have not particularly enjoyed that. The worst thing about vietnam is how you have to walk on the street because there are motorcycles parked and food stands on the sidewalks. To make it even worse, there are motorcycles coming from every way and you have to dodge them while walking. I think the best thing about Vietnam though, has been how kind the staff are. All of them love kids and it is always so sad to leave.  I went to 2 cooking classes in Vietnam, and it was totally worth it. For the first one everyone got to cook 1 dish, but some people left at the end. The second one was a private class at a restaurant, and there were 3 things that all of us got to make. The first thing was pho, which is a very common dish in Vietnam. It is made up of noodles, meat (chicken or beef), broth, and veggies (bok choy, cilantro, lime, green onion, carrots). The next ...

Tanzania safari

  Hello! For the first night of safari I stayed at a place with private pool and it was awesome! I saw 7-10 different animals on the first day, which is super lucky and rare. A herd of elephants crossed our path and walked beside the safari truck which was super cool! When we got back there was a zebra right outside our room which made me a little bit nervous. The next place I stayed was a tented camp where you needed to call for security to bring you to the main tent so you won’t be eaten by a hyena or lion. I stayed in 2 places like that, but one moved with the migration of the wildebeest so there were no permanent water tanks and you had to call for shower water. The reason I saw so many zebra, gazelles, and wildebeest is because of the migration! The great migration is when most of the animals move from one side to the other (North to South, East to West) to find more food and water. I was told that it is vey rare to get to see 2 kills in the wild. I saw a cheetah run it’s top ...
