Hi! So this won't be too long of a blog- I'm going to try to get as much down as I can while we're waiting for the bus to come grab us for our practice. We are now in Hanoi, Vietnam. Everyone is friendly, and most of them are VERY aggressive when trying to sell you stuff. One lady was trying to sell me a fan, and I said no probably 20 times, yet she kept hitting my arm with the fan and was telling me I could get 2 for 50,000 dong (a little less than 3 dollars) which is a really high price here for what she's trying to sell me! I did, however, buy a few things in the shops we went to- but I'm not going to say what they are since some of them are presents!!!!

We ate at Moca Cafe today for lunch- Gretta and I shared a cashew chicken dish, along with white rice and green tea for me. Sarah got a coconut, and we all tried some of the milk as well as the fleshy part. It was pretty good, but I don't think I could eat a whole one. Thus far I've liked Vietnam more than Thailand, but I haven't seen much of Thailand!

Last night for dinner we ate at a seafood restaurant- things like coconut shrimp, octopus, some mystery meat we don't know, and egg rolls. People have been getting really cranky.

I have to go so I'll write more later!
