Some of my small adventures

I went to the mall in Long Bien, Hanoi, which is better than any mall in America. It was a combination of an amusement park, grocery store, furniture stores, retail, and restaurants. Needless to say, it was huge and seemed brand new! I don't have any photos of the place, but like anywhere I have been, it has green vegetation which was nice. I also found out that I'm a master at arcade basketball. One night I was walking around I came across this man who was sleeping on the side of the street. You can see in the photo that he has a radio, it was a bedtime story! Every time I drive on this street no matter what time it is, this man is there on his couch.
On the sides of the streets in very popular areas there are women selling a type of desert. It consists of a type of pancake, sugar cane, coconut, and pepper. It's delicious! Mainly because its all sugar but who cares! The women have all the ingredients in the box below and set this up everyday.
Thang had never had Mexican food before so I took him to decently authentic restaurant called Salt n Lime. They had some really good and big burritos which he liked.  
One of the young men from the other branch got his mission call for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint to southern Australia! He leaves in August and I'm beyond excited for him! 
One the games they play in around Turtle Lake uses bamboo sticks. They open and close the two sticks to a specific beat and then people hop across to the other side with out getting caught.
They have Zumba at every park here in the early mornings and at night. This is a video of me hoping between all the old ladies doing two different dances. We have gone to Zumba dancing a lot in the past month! It's so much fun but I look like an idiot!
