Viet team is back!

Hello pretty girls and not-handsome guys!
sj is back! :D

I've had so much fun and learnt so much during my trip! Haha, I'm not going to like type out everything here, it's too much to talk about. But I suddenly miss blogging at my own blog.
XD

So let me share some pictures with everyone! Didn't take a lot with my camera because it was crazy most of the time.. Have to go and bug others for the pictures..

The culture at Vietnam is very different from Singapore. Let me share some of them!
Firstly, they don't have the concept of rubbish bins.. So everything is just on the floor. -.-
(Some of my team mates happily picked up this culture. HAHA)



They have terribly wonderful view there! This is so Google-ish right? Heh.


Secondly, they don't exactly have proper roads.. All roads are 2 directional and flooded with motorcycles. So if pedestrians want to cross the road, JUST CROSS MAN. They don't make way for you, so just cross and they'll siam. I've mastered the art of crossing their roads. x)



They don't need safety helmets and one motorbike even sit 4 people on it at once. Haha. This guy helps out at our host home! Cute daughter he has xD


Thirdly, the kids in the rural areas are really cute. They are so carefree and live their lives without stress. Go to school high up in the mountains and wear only those few clothes everyday. Doubt they bathe.. They can go up the steep slopes with so much ease but we take pains to go up everyday. They must think we're so lousy. Haha.. Yup we went to visit the last year's worksite and there was this little girl who held my hand and brought me to walk down the steep hill! So sweet :D



There she is! Blur picture sorry x)

I think we're so lucky to be living in Singapore! Count your blessings fellow friends :) They enjoy their lives though, because they're so used to it. They might not like our culture if they come to Singapore. Haha.



Buffalo! XD
So many of them in the mountain areas. So many of their shit also. We got so used to the shit smell and got so used to siam-ing them while walking.



This is Vietnam's famous noodle soup. It's like everywhere. Ate many many bowls of it. Haha.. It's delicious!



This is how they sell meat there. They don't practice proper hygiene but I think they have super strong stomach walls. x)

Yup, it was really a lot of fun and very enriching.. I love my teammates! XD
If you have any questions for me, I'll be glad to fill you guys in!

Looking forward to hearing from the Thailand team. They'll be back on Sunday!

And the Indo team, do have fun during your trip! I'm sure it'll be as exciting as mine (:
