HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of whatever screen you see this page on! I am back today with another super duper awesome blog post for you about more times of driving around Vietnam, awesome sights, and the water-pour that was going on this whole wet day! Let me explain to you everything in this awesome blog post today! So first of all, today was mainly just driving around, so when we got out of bed and started driving around, we drove for a few hours and then we stopped at the main attraction of the day, which was the king’s palace in South Vietnam. Yes, we crossed the Demilitarized Zone and we went back to what was South Vietnam, which was cool actually and it had a familiar landscape to what I’m used to. Then, we went to the King’s where there was an entire kingdom until France took over it in the 1800s. The place itself was actually very cool looking, but there were too many tourists and it was pouring so hard that the grounds were flooded and the throne room floors and ceiling were LEAKING. Not a very good situation to be in. So we toured around and saw the emperor’s two thrones and the royal grounds, but it was overcrowded and wet so we left early and we saw a mini temple inside the palace ground, which was cool. After that, I had a delicious treat called a chocolate pearl in a nearby cafe and then we stopped at our hotel. For dinner, I had one of the best pizzas in my life and it was exceptionally good. It was a grey, wet day but a very fun one in my opinion.
HHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of this screen waiting to hear my super duper awesome blog post for today! I am back with another spectacular blog post for you today about less rain, great food again, and even more things along the way, so please strap in an enjoy the ride because I am going to tell you about today’s blog! So first and foremost, we got up and after about an hour, we got in the car and drove off to our next location. The scenery around us was very cool and after about an hour and a half of driving and a little bit of sleeping, we got to our next location that looks very promising. Why though? It wasn’t raining finally! This whole trip has been rain, rain, pour, rain, etc. since day one of the Vietnam abroad experience! It gets very annoying to put up with all day and I just can’t stand it anymore. After we got settled in the hotel, we decided to tour the town some and we saw lots of cool stores and cultural diffusion around us. We even saw an Irish pub, which was very weird for that area, but it was still cool to see. We then got back to the hotel and did a very long math finals preparation, which sucked. I then had a delicious burger for dinner and it was very good and one of the best in Vietnam. We had a short, but fun day today and I can’t wait for tomorrow.
HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO on the other side of whatever device or paper or book or whatever thing that you are viewing this thing on today! I am back today with another awesome blog post for you today about our stay-in day here in this nice town and the “dry” amusement park experience. It was actually really wet, but I tried to go for a pun, so please forgive my “dry” sense of humor! Yeah… sorry about that. Anyway, here is my post for you today and I hope that you enjoy it! First, we woke up and shortly after, we realized that we woke up 20 minutes late😱😱😱😱😱!!!!!! We have never been late in our time here so waking up late like this was something to be worried of. We desperately scrambled down the stairs after five minutes of preparing, only to find out we were to have breakfast, so we did the routine for nothing despite being late. We finished breakfast though and after the whole thing cleared, we drove to a cable car station, where we embarked uphill to Sun World, the totally non-rip-off amusement park of Disneyland and Universal Studios combined. Once we were in the cable car, it was pouring rain all around us and we ascended into a gigantic cloud that made it impossible to see outside. We then went to what I can only describe as a circus tent that was filled with people. There were two cos players dressed like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz if he wanted to be the king of France. They were literally silver in a king and queen’s garbs and that was very weird for me. We then took another cable car to the main attraction, which was indoor and contained a variety of rides, which 80% of them were cheaply made and bad. We were on this very bad horror ride which was 10 seconds long and we were just in a car seeing some cheaply made props. Another was a full 360 degree 3d room with a very scary dinosaur animation because it was so cheaply made. Once we finished that though, there were a bunch of other bad stuff and we even had a power out!!! For ten minutes!!! This is an example of how bad the rain was that day and once we left that attraction, we went to a very creepy wax museum with figures that looked like they were from American Horror Story. We left that one spooked and went to the most promising part of the park, which was the bridge supported by stone hands. It was very cool looking, but kind of dull because it wasn’t real. We left the park on a weirded note as our shoes were filled to the rim with water and we just did homework for the rest of the day. Well, that was my ‘amuse’ing day today and it was soaking with excitemt.
WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT’S UUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP everybody on the other side of whatever it is you are viewing this off of. I am back today with another super cool blog for you today about a relatively short, but exciting day here in Vietnam. So anyway, today was fun but uneventful really so I will try my best to describe it. Well, here you go and please enjoy my blog post today! First things first, we woke up at 6:00 am in the morning so we could take a shower because we couldn’t do it yesterday. It was bizarre to be honest and immediately afterward, we went to have a small breakfast with some fine foods. We then went upstairs to take a math final for class, which wasn’t interesting at all, but I finished it and now I’m home free of homework! Well, except for Spanish and some other stuff… but still! We then drove 34 minutes to our next stop at a place called Da Nang, which was very cool looking and we stayed in our new hotel, which wasn’t so cool looking. We toured around for a bit and we even got to see the very new film Aquaman, which just came out!! It was fine, but after that we went to dinner and our short but cool day here ended.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of whatever it is that you are looking at this from! I am back with another awesome blog post for you today about an awesome boat and airplane ride that happened on a very cool occasion. Anyway, here is my blog post today! So first, we had to wake up at 6:00 am again, which is getting very boring at this point and we drove to the airport. Once we got there, after getting checked in and stuff, we got on a plane and flew for an hour to get to another location and once we got there, we then got a really nice driver to drive us to a doc, where we would take a boat to travel to an island! The boat was very big and was only for us, which is my kind of flow on a trip like this. We then embarked for two hours in the cold to the island although they did try to sell us pearls, which were probably fake. We saw many cool rocks around us and the nature of the place was fascinating. Once we got to the island, we went into a cave like the ones a few days ago, but this one seemed more fake and wasn’t very enjoyable. We then embarked two more hours back to the car where we drove to the hotel and had a refreshing dinner. Tomorrow, we will go to Hanoi and our backpacking experience will end for now!
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of whatever it is you are looking at this from. I am back today with another cool blog post for you today about our ascent into Hanoi, the final part of our experience here in Vietnam and some exciting stuff along the way. So first, we drove for a few hours most of the day to a small statue garden, where coffee there was 3x as expensive as it was anywhere else! The statues were cool and there were lots of tourists there, which was weird but after that whole thing we left and drove all the way to Hanoi. Once we got there, we were introduced to our new apartment for the rest of our time in Vietnam that was actually very cozy and refreshing. It was like our room in Saigon but 10x better in every way. We then took a detour around the town and saw a bunch of Christmas-themed stuff and coincidentally the day we got to Hanoi, the final soccer playoffs were happening there between Vietnam and Malaysia!!! It was very exciting to see as people were going nuts and there were campaign signs everywhere. We had dinner a little while later in our own apartment for the first time in a while and we watched some of The Hobbit: An unexpected journey to top the day off. Today was very exciting and was the beginning of the end.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of whatever it is that you are reading this off of! I am back today with another blog post for you about our day tour here in Hanoi, my personal favorite animated movie of all time, and a preserved body of one of Vietnam’s most influential leaders. So, follow me on this awesome journey of today as we jump into this awesome blog post, and without any further adieu, let us begin! So first, we woke up today at 9:00 am, which was a huge reliever because it was such a reasonable time to get up and after getting set up, we went to Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum! It was creepy to be honest with you, but he looked like he had died yesterday, which was really demented in its own way. I guess that was the point, but then we moved on and toured a lot of what Hanoi had to offer. We then went back home to have some downtime for a few hours and later on, we went to see Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, which I now consider to be my favorite animated film of all time! It was so good and very creative!! We went to sleep afterwards and ended our long, but fun day here in Hanoi.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of whatever it is you are reading this off of! I am back today with another short but fun blog post for you about a prison and a walking day around Hanoi, so please enjoy! So first off, we traveled through most of Hanoi after waking up and we stopped at an old prison that was used for Vietnamese prisoners back in the day when the French ruled over Vietnam. There were tons of run down and terrifying cells in that prison with its own guillotine! You know, that thing the French cut off people’s’ heads off with… *gulp. So after that, we went onto some old train tracks where we took cool photos and had a great burger nearby. It was actually the best burger I’ve had since South Africa and after that we went back home and had a fun time there for the rest of the cool day.
HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOO everybody who is looking at this post today on whatever time of day that it currently is wherever it is in the world where you are right now! I am back with another blog post for you today about another walking day here in Vietnam and some great, almighty chickens. So, without further adieu, let me begin this fine blog post for you today with a cock-a-doodle-doo and let’s get into this! So first of all, we woke up at 9:00 am this morning as usual lately and then we started to explore the bustling town of Hanoi after getting dressed and stuff. As we were walking around, we saw lots of shops with the same old stuff including: Cheap toys from China, clothes that make people look like they have an ego bigger than their brain, TONS of Christmas merch, and many other stuff that scale from hairdryers to cat accessories. It is basically the same stuff over and over again, but after a while we reached the sister restaurant of the restaurant we went to yesterday(Chops), but this time this new place was called Durty Chicken. With a “u”, so yes I did not make a typo. There were rubber, squeaking chickens all over the place that were very fun to honk and the chicken there was over the top amazing. Really, it was the best I’ve had in Vietnam and one of my all-time favorites on this whole trip! After that, we just went home to have downtime and then we went out to have dinner, where we were bombarded with the same sellers offering us the same things over and over again. Today was a chill day, which I like a lot.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of the item of choice you have chosen to view whatever this is off of today in time! I am back with another super duper awesome and probably short blog post for you today about another day of touring Hanoi, but this time the mall and the horrible traffic that awaited us there. So anyway, here is my blog post for you today and I hope that you will enjoy it as you have with the previous blogs of mine. Which you hopefully did enjoy, right? I hope you did because it is a part of my daily routine now and I’m always really tired when I do it, so here is my late-night blog for you today! So after the usual routine and stuff, we actually got in a cab for the first time in days and drove to a mall on the outer edge of Hanoi. The whole experience there was very fun and we saw a lot of different stuff there including an ice skating rink with people ice skating every on it! There were tons of bakeries everywhere and one of the most interesting parts of the trip was the virtual reality we tried there! We put on VR goggles and did two VR adventures, which weren’t very good but a start for the future to come. On the way back to the apartment, we ate lunch at chops and there was a massive row of bikers blocking the streets and made it impossible to move, so we got home like 20 minutes later than was planned. After that, we ate some spaghetti and then we went to sleep. Today was very interesting and it was very fun.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOO everybody on the other side of whatever it is that you are looking at this off of today! I am back with another cool blog post for you today about our final day in all of Vietnam, airport madness, and midnight swimming! Join me on this fantastical journey because today was one of the most interesting days on this trip. So first of all, we drove a little while to the airport and everything was in motion once we got there. People were running around and we were scrambling to get through all of the annoying security that awaited us up ahead. I really don’t like security because we have to wait in such long lines and do absolutely nothing until we are called and checked. After security, we got held back because of literally ONE of my math tools because it was remotely sharp! These people are just so infuriating and once we got on the plane, I was both glad and sad to leave the wonderful country of Vietnam. We stopped in Singapore for a layover, but we were late and we barely made it onto the plane with no time to spare. It was crazy intense and our bags had to go into the cargo hold because we were so late. We eventually got to Bali, which was a huge relief and once we got to our new apartment, there was a giant poster of Trixie and Bruno!!! We even took a midnight swim in our 100% chlorinated pool which was very refreshing!!! We went to sleep and couldn’t wait for the next day.
