Woke up at 8 am this morning since my cousin was driving me to buy shoes.
She rarely has time off but today, she was free in the morning. I ate cơm tấm
again, which is my favourite thing to eat for breakfast here. Everyone else had
hủ tiếu nam vang (50,000 VND = $2.50 each). My aunt also bought strawberries after
she visited the local market
I still had some time after breakfast and so I went up to the rooftop to snap
pictures of the eggs. Soon, there will be chicks!
My uncle just got home today from his fishing trip so I snapped some pics of the
fish that he caught!
I left with my cousin to buy shoes around 10 am and it took about 15 mins to get
to the shoe store. Most of the stores carried small sizes (6, 7) but I finally
found a store that had my size. I ended up buying two ankle boots (black &
grey) with the same design. The boots were only 200,000 VND ($10 CAD).
For dinner, we had canh rau day made from fresh leaves! We could only buy frozen
canh rau đay which doesn’t taste as good. We also had thit kho for dinner
Later in the evening, I went walking with my aunts to Siêu Thị Vinatex.
On our way there, we stopped at a store that sold a lot of nail products. My
aunt bought for me 3D design nail stickers which were only 5,500 VND which
equals to $0.28 each!!! I only bought 4 packs since I wanted to try them out
first. They are just as good as the ones I already have so I’m going to buy a
lot more before I go back to Canada
Later in the night, we heard the man selling banh gio & banh chung ride his
bike past our house (he has a speaker attached to his bike saying "banh gio,
banh chung"), so we ran downstairs to buy some.
