Vietnam!

Hey Everyone!!!

Vietnam is absolutely amazing. Its such an amazing city!!! I spent the first day exploring the town a little bit and some shops. I also went to a tailor to get a completely custom dress made!! We went to the Vietnam house restaurant which was really awesome. One thing about the way vietnam dining works is they usually do family style dining and just bring out a plate and share it with the people at your table.

The next day we went to Halong bay. I almost didnt get to get on the plane becuase the girls mom who bought my ticket was already through security and i didnt have her credit card information so i almost couldnt get on but they just let me go after 45 minutes of arguing. The plane was HUGE. I havent ever been on a plane that big in my entire life!! We arrived in Hanoi and then took a 3 hour bus ride to Halong bay. When we got there we got on our "junk" boat which is just a big boat that just hangs out in the bay and drives to some places where you can sleep and eat. Ours was really really nice. We enjoyed some lunch and then went to some caves which were really cool. That night we had karaoke night and just had a lot of fun together.

The next day we transferred over to our boat to go to our bungalow on our private beach. This island was really beautiful and we got to eat some lunch then head out on a kayak ride. For those of you who dont know what halong bay is, basically it is just a beautiful bay (even though the entire time i was there it was completely foggy and so hard to see anything at all and it was really cold out) but there are huge rocks that were formed. Google it, me explaining wont do it justice. We just spent the night hanging out on the island with everyone.
The next day we left and headed back for our flight to Ho Chi Minh City. Which everyone likes it better if you call it Saigon. When we got back we went out to dinner at a sushi restaurant. I even had a whole piece of sushi and it was delicious. I have no idea what kind it was but it was soooo good!!!!!! We then went to get my dress fitted, thank god i went because it was HUGE on me.

Today we spent the day just roaming around the city and shopping and such. I got my dress back and it fits nice. Im excited. It was completely custom tailored and only 50 dollars which is not bad in all actuality.

I had a lot of fun in Vietnam. I had a lot more that i wish i could have done. If i was able to spend one more day here or be only in Halong for 1 day instead of 3. I had such a great time though. I really recommend coming to Vietnam. We met so many cool people here and its just a great place!!!!

CHINA HERE I COMEEE!!! I am so excited for it i have a huge trip planned so i cant wait!!!!

Also, i cant remember if i said anything about this in my last email but we are obviously not going to Japan any more. We are now going to Taiwan which is really cool. I cant wait. As of tomorrow only 1 month until i am done. So crazy. I am really excited to see everyone from home though!!!
Love and miss you all!
