hey guys!!

Woot, there's a lot more to say, but I don't know where to start.

So ok, I think i had bad ice or bad water or bad something cuz like i'm sick now. I had diahrea for like a day. I took Imodium advance, so i'm better now. You know, in the instructions and cautions of that stuff, they call a poo a stool. Now whodathunkit. It's like, "once you have a solid stool, stop taking imodium advance" or something like that. I can't remember. Now I just have a tummy ache.
Hey! Now I know why I saw black guys in vietnam, it's cuz they play soccer here! yeah, i was watching soccer yesturday and saw a couple black guys playing for a team, and i asked my cousin why is that, and he told me how some clubs hire people from other countries to play for them. Like Africa cuz I guess they get paid more hear than Africa. I was told there are a lot of Thai players too.

My cousin has turtles in her bathroom!!

Yeah, just thought I'd add that random blurb. ha ha ha.

In my last few days so far, there the ones to recent memory. Here's what happened. One of my cousins(I have a lot here) took me to a snake farm in My Tho. It was pretty cool. Took some pics. Took this awesome one of me and this ostrich. Met this American lady there too.

The next day, my same cousin took me out on this boat trip along the mekong delta and to some islands. I have to say, there were so many Jap tourists!!! At the first island that I was at, I learned about the Coconut Monk. Pretty cool story. Kinda like Vietnam's ghandi. Wanted peace between the north and south, and decided to strand himself on this island, and only eat and drink coconuts. Supposidly he didn't even drink water, just coconut juice... or milk, w.e it is. Anyway, he was this like engineer so he built some crazy things that had some deep representation to them. I have pics. I'll definately share when I get back. I don't know the whole story, my mom does though. I'll go more into it when I get back to Canada.

On the second island, we just ate fruit and listened to people sing to us. The third island was really cool. Once we got there, we were taken down to this puny river, where are bunch of boat people were waiting to take you to the other side, and it was a really cool boat ride too. At the end of the ride we just walked around the rest of the island and saw a lot of tourist stands and stuff. Kinda made me sad cuz these people depend on tourists for a living. Like the boat ladies. She told me that after ten days of bringing people in boats do they get paid. ten days! So those were the islands I visited. After that I just hanged around with family.

Oh I also visited where my dad and my grandparents used to live. I even visited their grave. It's way out in like the country. My grandpa had this pot of land and it's full of mango and grapefruit trees, and home of a gazzillion, biting, massive ants!!! oh and a house that is abandon. No one really takes care of that land anymore, it just stays locked up, until people visit to light insents for the graves.

Well, that's all for now. Hope to update another time soon!

Oh another thing, I miss putting toilet paper down the toilet soooo much. That is such a luxery. Here I have to hold the toilet paper until I find a freakin' garbage can, and they don't even have them in the bathrooms!! That also reminds me, I find it amusing how there are unicef posters around the city reminding people to wash hands with soap and to cook chicken fully. Well that's all for now! Bye!
