So this is Emily Cameron hanging out on the top of our boat in Halong Bay, Vietnam. It's a famous place in Vietnam, and beautiful. We spent the last 2 weeks in Vietnam running around, and our first weekend was horrible. We arrived around 9pm on Friday night, and were told that we were leaving at 5am to spend a weekend somewhere else...and looking at a Pagoda. So we did, and Saturday was super hot, and the pagoda was underwhelming, and we had a terrible first impression of Vietnam.
The people here constantly honk at each other, no one is patient, and they don't obey traffic laws or signals. Thus, crossing the street is ridiculously terrifying. That weekend was not pleasant, they kept giving us goat meat...so I lived on bread and fruit. But when we got to the university Monday, we were welcomed by like 20 girls (one guy) who had applied to be our friends basically :) They come to our Vietnamese classes when they can, and go on field trips with us. It was awesome.
But we had class all day everyday, and have to wake up early to get a taxi that takes 45 minutes to get to the university. By the second weekend, we were EXHAUSTED, and we went to Halong Bay.
Papa D got us our own boat for two days, and we sailed through Halong Bay.
The pictures from Halong Bay look AWESOME. I am really jealous of you. Oh and by the way I really like the pic of you standing by the little house thing... you look really good :).
