Let's see. I didn't sleep that well last night even thou i was very sleepy. I decided to get up at 5am and read Memoir of a geisha and went online and took an unpleasant shower. Mom really needs to buy a new shower head or fix the water pressure.
Around 9 my best friend came and we went out to eat breakfast at the nearly market. It was super good but expensive. Dad laughed at me later when I told him i spent 28000 dong (Vietnamese money) for breakfast, he said "That's not even $2 why are you complaining". Well, yeah I was paying for 3 people so... But back in the days (haha i sound so old), one bowl of noodles was like 2000 dong, and later on it was 5000. Now, after 2 years, the price double. Basically the price for every single thing doubled up, except for the cab. (FYI the currency exchange rate is approximately 15000 dong = $1)
And then I ate lunch at 12. It was a very big lunch, with 2 boiled chickens (small thou) and my mom's squid cake and more Pho. After that I took a nap and it was the best nap ever, well yeah because it was night time in the US. Mom woke me up at 5 cuz Ducky came, and I had a hard time getting up, just like when I had to get up early to go to class. Went downstairs, my grandparents were back from the trip to my grandpa's birth place, and bought a lot of corn.
They sell corn along the highway, new cut corn, for a very cheap price. They usually cut it right there cuz the corn fields run along the highway. So everytime we go somewhere outside of Hanoi and see people selling corn, we always stop to buy some, i mean a lot.
So I went downstairs and people were eating corn. Mom gave me a custard apple (see picture) to eat, and i was still full from lunch, but I ate it anyway. Then I ate a corn and 3 hours later I was at my other grandparents' house to have dinner. So... 2 days and 3 Pho meal, awesome. In 2 weeks, I will gain like 10 pounds with being fed like this. People just keep feeding me and feeding me and I can't say no. ( you are too skinny, she looks like a stick, have you been eating at all, you never eat anything, gosh that's not enough you need to eat more, eat more, eat more, eat this, and this too, eat more...) Man i'm going nuts of being acused that I don't eat. My body can not get fat no matter how much i eat, ok? No one wants to understand that :(
