First 3 weeks

        I've been in Vietnam for three weeks and it is pretty amazing! The city is HUGE!!!! There is so much to do in Saigon. I love having everything at your fingertips but, I would rather be in the countryside. Not knowing the language is definitely hard it is also kind of fun trying to figure out what the people are saying. We went to a beach called Mui Ne for the weekend, it was Beautiful! The people here are very friendly. They always stare at us as we walk by. And they always pinch Brighton's cheeks and feel Dalila's hair. Last night on the way home from Mui Ne, we stopped for dinner and all the workers swarmed us and stayed there all through our meal. They tried to hold Dalila but my mom and dad wouldn't let them. They touched Brighton and Oskar's hair, pinched Brighton's cheeks, but they wouldn't touch me or Soren, but they tried to show me how to use chopsticks and would not go away. I was so annoyed I almost exploded. I wanted to escape to the bathroom, but that was bad too. The toilets were basically holes in the ground-I need to master the squat. at least the food was good (:
