My diary
As these last couple weeks have been pretty uneventful and the posts repetitive, I thought I would do something different. Though I never formally made a "Bucket List" I definitely had a list of things I wanted to do in Vietnam - some of which I've come up with after arriving in Vietnam. So, here's a short list of some of the many things I hope to experience on this exchange. Happy Reading!
[x] Try Pho
[x] Meet my little sister
[x] Visit the city
[] Navigate the city alone/without a native Hanoian
[x] Ride a motorbike (never need to do that one again)
[/] Learn Vietnamese (in progress, hence the /)
[x] Buy something new
[x] Eat street food
[x] Go bouldering
[] Go climbing outdoors
[] Cook a Vietnamese meal
[x] Bake something for my host family
[x] Learn something cool about the history of Vietnam
[x] Speak Vietnamese with a friend from home
[x] Stay overnight in the city
[] Go to see a movie
[x] Try a new food
[x] Take a vacation
[] Read a novel in Vietnamese
[] Complete a test at school without my dictionary
