Day 4 - Crossing Things Off the List

  • Ride on the back of a motorcycle through the crazy streets of Vietnam
  • Get some glamour shots taken (the glamour shots in Vietnam are AMAZING - it's an all day affair where you get your makeup done and they take these great fashion photos of you)
  • Buy myself and my mother an ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress)
  • Shop and bargain for something in the Vietnamese markets
  • Eat traditional Vietnamese street food! (perhaps something I've never tried before)
  • Witness a wedding
  • Hear an old story about my family that I've never heard before
  • See my father's childhood house
  • See my mother's childhood house
Not bad for my first four days in Vietnam! I think I'm going to have to create some new goals.

Update: Our tour has since been diverted and we are no longer going to Sapa. :( I'm pretty sad about it but it shortens our tour by two days, which means we'll have two more days in Saigon, which I'm pretty happy about as well. More time for me to get my glamour shots done!
