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 suggest to go there definitely. I even want to go back right now! And the people treat kids like they are special not like they are not special and that’s why I liked it there because everybody treats them like they are special. I also liked it because of the cooking classes they are interesting and fun! It is also fun to learn how to cook with different ingredients and to cook different dishes of food.

Leaving Singapore and going to Vietnam!

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 ...
