Day 12-14 - I lived my life so late update :)/ 7 thoughts about life First and foremost I thank God of Universe for unending surprise He gave on me. I thank for the people who let me feel I am doing the right thing. I thank Pandatitot for keep believing on me. I thank to my parents especially to mama who says, I trust you. To my family and friends that I hope I inspired you to what I'm doing and motivate you to follow what your heart really wants. True, I am in the moment of full of words because I am happy to what I do have right now. There may be problems that will come along but I thank to wisdom to never let me drown to what the emotion should be. Here are my 7 thoughts that maybe it works on you 1. You do not need many people to believe in you, you just need one not yourself but ssomeone else that when you are down, that person will remind you to never give up 2. You do not need to know the step by step because the Universe will unfold everything as long as you belie

Maybe you don't like it 2. Give a try in a day then check your feelings about it 3. The Universe will unfold anything anyway So yes, Hanoi that I visited last 2015 is just part of Hanoi but not definitely describe what it looks like Before last 2015 1. I was in Old Hanoi not center so you will love how they really live as they are really into culture that all street is alive 2. It was not Summer so 9degrees 3.

Day 10- Candy flower/ Stoplight in a district/ Virus erase all my photos Day started in Tan Xa (astonished on stop light even it's a district only) - two classes nailed it and glad to see the kids I've met last week. Drop to a store to buy beverage and snacks and end up a heavy lunch with Kim's extended family. One thing I amazed to my host is the table don't serve one dish, there's always soup, vegetables and pork. I even told them, fiesta?? Too many foods, I'm so full even I just see it by my eyes. No photos of course, I'm dealing more in life with engaging culture  without documenting it to preserve its value. After lunch, I got a message about my order plus virus from a site kills all my files- totally bringing up all my emotions. Also, I called the company for assistance bcs I need more clarification of my order and only a hello word then mute when I speak in English (the first time I said to myself, I hate you Vietnam!) . Well le

True, there's a language barrier but I thank Tito Google for being their to let the message clearly understood. When I woke up this morning I decided to stay more time in bed as today I have no schedule to my part time job. Win, the cheerful girl invited me a breakfast around 9ish. It was good to have noodles. We share more stuffs in life until we end up cooking 5 Filipino dish, Win make a cake, right after lunch- playing cards from monkey2, flower2, home2 and 123 pass, and watching coco film sneaking late in the afternoon. I do not have many words to say but I thank the Universe for placing me to the right host in this strange country. They were very helpful, they never let me feel that I have to go home. :) PS.

Day 5 Part two - Young and Adult class= Thank you! So got a class for kids from 2years old and up to 6 years old. They are around 20 students and very lovely. They always want me to carry them, which is I felt I carry my sister's son, Roian. Kids only wants to play, sing and dance. So the class never end up that boring. Furthermore, the adult class- they are around 30s. I come up with different drill to check their stock knowledge. To sum up everything, it's a good productive day!!! Tired but felt accomplished! Photos attached can really defined it's quick reversion mode of teaching, very challenging! :)
