Vietnam + Dubai

 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 super weird! I was asking a lot of questions about the fish in the aquarium, so the worker took my family on a private tour of the tanks! 


Dubai


Hello from Dubai! I am only here for 5 days because the cheapest place to stay was $400 per night. Everything in Dubai is also super expensive! A tote bag  the size of my hand was $100! And no, this wasn’t in some super expensive mall, it was at the market. Dubai is also the home of the tallest building in the world, and the biggest waterpark in the world! Of course I went to the waterpark and had an amazing time there! The lines got pretty long, so I only went on about half of the watersides. There were about 105. The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and is 1921 ft to the top floor. My mom, dad, and sister went to the 160th floor which is the tallest viewpoint in the world and still not the top floor!

      No, I don’t know why, but I wish I did! You are also able to bargen down quite a bit sometimes.

      We recently recieved your Angkor Wat postcard, so fun to get mail! It was at one point -50˚C...You mentioned wanting to be home in the cold, however it is pretty nice around here lately! The temperature today was 5˚ C, no need for jackets!
      A big event here is we just finsihed The Giver novel, project and watched the movie yesterday.
      Veronica is curious about the scribbles on the postcard, why are they there.
      Sincerely, Simburwans!
      P.S.
      Aiona has a joke for you:
      Q:Why are classic elevator jokes so good?
      A: They work on so many different levels.
      ba-dum-che!
      P.S.S.Declan, Olivia, Veronica and Stuti say hi!

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 ...
