Hey Hey, this is Amariah coming at you from Asia with another quick blog entry. I’ve got a couple updates for you on all the events which occurred during our first full day in Vietnam. For starters, we managed to make our way to the Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City. We were greeted by a welcoming group of students there. They gave us a viewing of a couple of their school’s promotional videos, to help kick off our visit I with them. Following shortly afterwards was a live performance presented to us by their dance club. In order to entertain further, they decided on a couple of choice games as well. The first game consisted of us passing rubber bands to our peers only using tooth picks held in our mouths. Up next, they had materials set aside to do an egg-drop contest. We were split up into groups and giving the following materials: straws, skewer sticks, and An few rubber bands. Upon completing our masterpieces, we then continued to send our creations plummeting off the top floor and towards the cement. Public notice: A couple eggs were harmed in the making of this blog. The third game we played was a crossword where we had to walk around the campus to find and take pictures of various building names. To wrap up the University shenanigans, we were given a vocal performance of “I Can’t Help Falling in Love” by a couple students on campus and one of our own managed to send us off with the familiar melody of “Country Roads”.
We managed to snag some grub at a restaurant near by, where we had the opportunity to experience more Vietmanese dishes. This time, the delivery of the food had a bit more variety in presentation. Some of the students even took it upon themselves to rearrange the various food arrangements into their own creations.
Following another quick bus ride, we made our next stop at a local orphanage. Here we devoted our time towards loving on all the kiddos we possibly could. This orphanage in particular was full of kiddos who were abandoned by their families at the very doorsteps of the building. The best thing we knew how to do was give them as much attention as possible. This consisted of plenty of piggy-back rides and a couple of cuddles too. It was such a fulfilling moment to see them as happy as they were. I mean just look at their precious lil faces!
Also here’s a pic of us all dripping in sweat after we finished playing at the orphanage. We be lookin cute though.
