Vietnam + Dubai

Image
  Going to Dubai tomorrow, Thailand has been fun, but I would want to stay in the center of bangkok next time because there is not much on the outside. I have noticed how many 7-11s are     in Thailand though, and it is crazy. There are probably at least 10 on 1 street! There are also plenty foot and leg massage places, even in the mall!    One thing I will remember about Bangkok is how kind people are. I know that I say that about a few places, but I mean it! The staff at the house I stayed at are just so nice! My sister didn’t like the meal they made (she said it was spicy), so they made another meal for her. Another example is how people at the market will give me discounts because I am a kid. I think it is so funny how the Asian people call kids baby. I went to an aquarium in Bangkok and it was probably the best aquarium ever! I was super exited to see a stingray and all sorts of different fish! There was a fish called the cowfish in the aquarium and it was ...

Belated Vietnam post- from Amelia

Note from Jenn- Amelia sent me this a while ago and I forgot to post it, my apologies! Hi I am so sorry because I haven’t posted in a while! We were in Vietnam and the first stop was  Hoi An and it was crazy there! At the night market there were people trying to sell stuff to you everywhere! It was like this:    do you want this?     do you want this?do you want this? And it was sooooooooo annoying. The place we stayed at was pretty decent we had a kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms a living room and even a roof top balcony! The second place was Da Nang and we stayed at a Hotel called the Grand Mercure! It was fancy but the second night Allison had a little bit of an accident with peanut and she thought she was going to die but she didn’t thankfully! My grandpa and my dad calculated it and it turned out to be about her dose so she of course skipped her peanut dose for that day because we don’t want her having too much peanut. Vietnam was fun and I would sugg...

100 days!

Day 100!🥳 Hello! I am leaving Chiang Mai today! I have had a wonderful time in Chiang Mai and am very excited to go to Bangkok.    My favourite part about all the Asian countries I have been to are probably the night markets. A bunch of things are under $5 (150 thb), and there are food stalls with every type of food! A good example for how cheap things are - I got 5 rings for $4, and I estimate they would be $45 for all 5 at home! Handmade goods are also incredibly cheap, because the material doesn’t cost much and labor costs are less because food is cheaper.  I will definitely miss the markets, but I also will miss the food. With so many new and different flavours, it would be crazy not to try it. Thailand is hard though, with my allergy. They put peanuts in a lot, but are also very honest when we ask if there are peanuts in something. I am also very excited to be going to Bangkok, the street food capital of the world today to try pad thai! I haven’t been able to try it...
