Thang (one of my YSA friends) came and picked me up to take me to the English Class at the church, and guess who drove basically the entire time -- This girl! It was so much fun and nerve-racking at the same time! I can't believe that he would let me drive his bike after the first time and practically crashing it, but I guess he must trust me...hopefully not a mistake. The people here make driving a motor bike look so easy, but the bike is actually very unsteady. It is also heavy, so if you have to stop you have to put your feet down on the road to steady yourself. I did very well - especially because it was mostly going straight the entire time. I even got on the highway -- ahh! It was so much fun! He even let me drive home! The intersections are the worst because everyone just goes for it. It's weird how this system of no organization actually works over here, but it really is their lifestyle. I feel like I'm getting the hang of it -- so I'm much closer to being Vietnamese!
Check out the video of me driving! I was wearing a helmet this time -- don't worry! You have to watch the entire video to understand how crazy the roads are here and to see me go through an intersection.
Watch it here!

After teaching English (which was way fun! I got to teach part of the lesson this week!) the YSA's went out to eat. We went to a place by the church. It is basically a Jamba Juice. It was a lot of fun to get to know them better and to hangout with people my own age. If I were to miss one thing, it would be Mexican food and my friends. Oops - that was two! But the YSA's really have been so welcoming!
