More pictures part 2

Yeah i have too many pictures to show.

Yes those are not chinese characters. Actually I don't know. Like the Japanese have chinese characters but with slightly different meanings, we have those too. We have Nom characters, because we didn't want to be like the chinese and did not want to use the chinese characters. Ugh hate them. Anyway, I think those are Nom characters.


Highland cafe looking out to Hoan Kiem lake. Aw miss you guys soo much.

I'm going home this summer. Can't wait. I'm extremely home sick, i'm missing Hanoi so much. And Ducky, she ditched me, urgh! First she wanted to go to Europe, i was all excited. Then she changed her mind, let's go to Bangkok. Fine. And now she's staying here for the summer. What the heck. Make up your mind. She can't make up her mind.

More pictures more pictures. Today is actually March, I was too lazy to post anything. But... well.. just sitting here being lazy cuz spring break is boring



The moment of truth... or.. just a moment of craziness. That's vietnamese vodka, the strongest thing ever. I can't even taste it. And if you're a vietnamese guy who goes to school in the US, and try to compete in drinking with a vietnamese guy who stays in the country, he will win for sure. They dont do beer, they drink vietnamese vodka, and that thing is killer.


My farewell party at Hang's. Yeah they were celebrating because I would be gone the next day, back to the states. We had fun. We had good food (again, FOOODD). We had beer and wine and vodka.


At Van Mieu. The first university of the country. It looks like a temple to me and it is a temple right now. That was my first time going there even thou I've lived in hanoi my whole life. Ehe. We went there to pray for good luck in schools (im not religious, just a thing to do).


The giant drum at Van Mieu. Ducky was trying to make some sound but she couldn't. Ehe she's too small.


At one of the gate. There are multiple gates in Van Mieu. In the past, students often study outdoor, they lined up and have class in the court yard, that's all I know. Im not very good at history. But the color, the red color of columns is so beautiful.

Dec 24: FOOOODDDD!!!

One word: Food.
All I did was eat and eat and eat. We went to eat breakfast, then went to Highland, then to lunch, then to Nem chua ran, then dinner, then... who knows. Usually I would just stay at home after dinner, rub my stomach and fall asleep because I ate too much.
But that's the whole point of coming home: To eat
Heavenly home. The heaven of food. As long as I get to eat I would be happy. Haha.

Here are some pictures. I didn't bring my camera around with me much, so... but promise to bring it from now on so I can update every single moment of happiness haha


At "Quan An Ngon", aka Delicious restaurant, at Phan Boi Chau street. 3 people and a pig's meal. When we finished orderding, and when the waiter repeat our order, we were like "Opps! We are pigs". Yeah, 1 chicken noodles, 1 chicken noodles with bamboo shoot (it's not like american chicken noodles, absolutely different), 1 green bean sweet rice, 1 beef salad, 1 Hue cake, 1 pudding.... bleh can't say the english name for all of those food but... We ate them all, super girls.



Christmas night. We gathered at Lakeside cafe. No one was drunk (maybe except for Giang), no one was crying haha. It's a good idea to stay inside because it's extremely crowded everywhere. Toilet pub is packed you can't even open the door.


Just wandering around (actually we were going to lunch/breakfast/snack, whatever)


The motobike, or moto scooter, whatever. Love them.
