1 week into Vietnam (Ba Ria)

WEIGHT: 51.5kg (yes Oanh & Dave- I will do my best to eat as much as I can and gain some weight over here. I already have this huge hunch that by the time I hit UK, i'll lose it all again! So I'd rather come back to AUST looking the same than scrawny than before hehe)

I just got my hair and face washed for $10000 which is equivalent to $1! I might as well go back tomorrow and get my hair straightened (for $20) considering there is not much to do down here at my grandparents place. My uncle & aunt has a store down in the markets and across it there is this Internet Cafe which I go to whenever I've had enough of sleeping hehe

SCHEDULE IN BA RIA: Wake up at 7am, go out to have breakfast with my grandpa, then go back to nap til 11am, wake up to have lunch with my grandparents (there are only them two and a housekeeper in the house), hang with my grandma abit (she can't move around much), nap again and don't wake up until around 4pm, hang with my grandma again before having dinner at 5pm, then go out for abit with my uncle and aunty and am back in bed by 10pm!hehe I really don't mind it though, I'm glad to finally be able to REST and I'm really down in ba Ria to hang with my grandparents for a few days before I move off to my other relo's places. In the weekend coming, Ill be going down South to Mekong Delta to visit a temple and do abit of praying with my aunties and the following week hopefully I would've booked a tour to travel up North of Vietnam to check out the beautiful sites.

I still have the sniffles... it comes and goes as it pleases and it's a real bugger!!! =(

Guess what I ate yesterday??? Well, you know how I LOVE eating duck's blood?hehehe (sorry Terry, you can skip this whole paragraph if you are reading it) Well, it ain't suitable eating this in Asia so my uncle and I went to eat Pig's blood instead! Dun worry, it looks and tastes quite the same =) I was afraid to eat it at first in case I would get an upset stomach (and already I had just had Bo Kho for breakfast with my grandpa) but... I ate it anyways and all was good! I planned to eat it again with my uncle this morning for breakfast (yes, breakfast!!) but after talking to my mum last night on the phone, she told me not to eat it again!!! hehe even after I had convinced her that I was fine from the first round, she said NO NO NO! So.. I wasn't allowed to eat it... and instead I had Pho with my grandpa this morning hehe BUT just to say.. the pig's blood was Deeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious!!!! hehehe no complaints ;)

Darling sisters... hope you both are behaving yourselves over there and am looking after each other and mummy! (I'm sure you are) Yes, don't miss me too much now!! =) Oh Phuong! I accidentally took your brown thongs by mistake! I will do my best not to scrape it :I
