Vietnam update! (picture-heavy)

Okay so my long-awaited trip to Vietnam has finally arrived! I had two stops: Atlanta, GA and Seoul, South Korea. It was the most tiring, butt-numbing trip I ever had to encounter in my life. It was a comfortable plane ride to there though! I always love flying, it's so nice to go different places since I don't travel that often.

((Airplane foods not that bad....))

Anyways landing in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) was awful, it was humid and sticky since it's always so crowded right when you get off the plane, and not to mention we had 8 luggage bags with our 8 carry ons to lug around and I'm the main muscle so I came out looking like the most unflattering woman in the world. The car ride back to Bien Hoa (my hometown) wasn't too bad though, we arrived at 11PM and the roads were clear once we hit the roads. A day after we arrived though, we had to drive back to Saigon for my grand-uncle's memorial ceremony. Meet my abundant amount of relatives. (Should I mention that we have some awesome food when we have memorials in my family....)

I know you want my food.

Oh and the traditional Vietnamese people drinking, of course.

Asides from the course of events that have gone down, I've also bought a few (lot) of things already. Things here are so cheap I can't seem to stay away! Especially the frivolous amount of stuffed animals. No really, I'm awful when it comes to stuffed animals. I got all those pens for less than $3-$4USD, the bun, turtle, dog plush for around $.99, the pencil pouch and notebook for like $1.5 and cellphone holder for like $3.5. I'M SO ADDICTED TO BUYING THINGS HERE AND I KEEP CALCULATING IT IN USD AHHHHH. THE CHEAPER IT SOUNDS IN MY HEAD THE MORE I'M TEMPTED TO BUY. Not to mention I can walk to the department store and get all these, oh my. I plan on getting a lot more before I leave Vietnam though to give away as gifts (if I have the heart to that is) and there will definitely be more posts about my trip here! I'm going to a beach called Nha Trang next week after we have a memorial ceremony at my house for my great-grandparents first (more to come) and I will definitely be splurging there.

Come on who would deny all this stuff...

Ghetto photo booth photos in Vietnam, yay!

Hair accessories here are so cheap too, the popular skeleton hand clips I always saw online was only for sale for a dollar in my local market, I'll wear it probably more when I go back to the USA where I can let down my hair a little more. It's too humid to leave my hair down here or I'll look like a horror film in action.

How it looks in my hair + details!

To sum up what I do on a daily basis... I eat, sleep and snapchat people my thug faces and all of that. That and I like to take selfies and not be satisfied with any of them. Until I go to the beach and stuff I don't really do anything much except read Cyanide and Happiness comics and catch up on my manga (tru thug).

snapchat VS selfies

Anywho, I'll try and start posting more especially now that school and graduation and all of that crazy business is done with and that I'm doing absolutely nothing in Vietnam until I leave for the beach. In the next photo if you'll notice my entire luggage of clothes on the left... but I'll try and find some cute clothes while I'm here and throw together a few outfits or something. I've been dressing like a slob/thug lately so there's not too much to make out of my ootds. If you want to keep up with me more then follow my instagram and other social networks at the bottom! Until next time!

Find me elsewhere!
