HHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO everybody today on the other side of the screen waiting to hear another exciting blog post from me! I am back with another rad blog post for you today about the celebration of Aba’s hebrew birthday and the stormy rain, the windy winds, and the underground tunnel network which help the Vietnamese during the Vietnam war. So without further ado, let’s get into this blog post, yay!!! So, because this morning was the usual old get into the car and drive until we get there, I’ll just cut to the chase because that was the most interesting part of today. So we drove for 2 hours in the car and then we reached a place that was home to a complex tunnel system during the Vietnam War. The dad of the guide at the place was actually born in the tunnels, which was pretty cool to me! So we met her and we also saw some people from the Paradise Cave, so we decided to take a joint tour together. We went to check out some of the tunnels and it was actually a very complex structure that served as smart and a very good home for the villagers whose’ homes got bombed. There was a medic room, double bedrooms for villagers, gathering areas, and even bathrooms there that actually made it feel like it was an underground village that was hidden from the enemy(Which it was, but still)! The entrances were hidden from view and the structure itself had 13 distinct entrances, so villagers could slip in and out as they needed too. It was lit by candles and there were ceremonies held each night, which showed just how happy and creative the Vietnamese were. After that though, we drove to the hotel and after resting for a few hours, we drove to the hotel as it was pouring rain and then after a few hours to ourselves, we drove to dinner and celebrated Aba’s hebrew birthday!! We had an amazing cake that was OD(Overley delicious) and after that, we went to bed on a happy note. Also, it was pouring rain at the underground village too, so the floors were literally flooded and gave us a sense of what it was like back then to live in a place like that.
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 1800’s. 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 cosplayers 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 excitement!
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 blogpost 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!
