Life in Viet Nam

I thought I'd share with you some ins and outs of my life here in Viet Nam.

- Motorbikes EVERYWHERE! They weave in and out of traffic and are always blowing their horns.

- Crossing the street is an interesting experience. You basically just have to go and let the motorbikes go around you. I'm pretty sure my mom would have a heart attack if she saw me crossing the street here (haha...Hi mom!)

- Every single kid here is cute. No...seriously...all of them. And that goes for the old people too. :)

- Wet bathrooms...hate them. Basically, there is no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, just a shower head stuck on the wall. This means that everytime someone uses the shower, the entire bathroom is soaking wet. Yuck.

- Iced Tea...yes, they have iced tea here. But it's a little different from Bojangles. You get iced green tea with every meal and everytime you go to a coffee shop.

- High heels. All of the women here wear high heels. It's craziness! I went to a waterfall when I was in Da Lat, and there were women climbing across the rocks...in high heels! The women are always dressed up.

- Now, I thought the US was a coffee-drinking culture. I've never had so much coffee in my life! I've had at least one cup of coffee everyday since I've been in Vietnam. Every restaurant has it, and there are probably twice as many coffee shops as there are restaurants. But I'm not complaining. I actually love the coffee here, even though I don't drink coffee at all in the US.

More to come later...
