Eighteen mosquito bites, hot and humid weather...

Ugh. I hate Vietnam...

JOKES!

It has only been about eight days , and so far I'm lovin' it here. Except for the mosquito bites, and icky sticky weather. I have a feeling my legs are going to get swollen with all the huge red bites. It's gross 'cause you can feel it pop up! haha. I know, sounds pretty lovely.. yuuck. Ahhh, it's so itchy, but I must not scratch. haha. Anyways, what have I been up to.. I've been visiting a lot of relatives here and there, chillin' with my nieces and nephews that are younger AND older than me, shopping when I get the chance, bonding with my relatives from both sides of the family, prepping for my gma's 104'th Birthday! Shoot, she's SO old, and actually pretty healthy. And her memory is incredibly good. Way better than anyone else in my family. She can remember way back when my siblings were kids. Pretty impressive!

I love my family here.

So yesterday, I went to a beach with my cousins, nephew, and his two friends. Very romantic.. not! haha. Afterwards, we ate at this outdoor restaurant nearby. We had a seafood fest, along with beer , and coke . But soon after.. my cousin was just kidding around with the waitress, "Hey, we want some Vodka here." All of us: "Are you serious? Are you going to actually drink it?" Cousin: "No.." All of us: "What the heck.. why would you make that girl get it then?" Cousin: "Cause.." What a lie! My cousin totally made me drink some VODKA HANOI aka Nammer Vodka, which consisted 30 percent of alchohol. Not bad, not bad. I was kind of scared though.. I didn't want them to see the "drunk" me.. and plus, my mom would KILL me. SO I made my cousin's wife help me drink the bottle. hehe. Man.. I got so red so fast! Ughh.. haha. Anyways, I got pretty tipsy, which made it more fun. We laughed about a lot of random things, and kept making fun of my nephew.. He's 24, and is apparently "getting to know" this girl who's 3 years younger than me. You do the math. HAHAHA. Shoot, he's going to go to jail! haha kidding. Side note: Just a few seconds ago, nephew number 01355656 was singing really loudly, and opened the door to the room that I was in, and closed it immediatelywhen he saw me. hahaha, he's probably embarrassed.. SIGH. And I thought it would suck not having cousins around my age.. thank goodness for their kids! haha. Anyways, this is getting long, and is probably boring to read.. and I have to go out soon.

Hope all of you guys back home are having a good time! Miss you all lots. <3
