Birthday Time

The past couple of days have been pretty busy yeah. Monday was oskar's birthday. We went to this marketplace called ben thau I think. Like bin tow like how you would say tow as in towel. The whole place was burning and it smelled really bad. And everything they sell here is fake. They have adidas and Nike stuff an oakleys and ray bans. Buy it's all fake. You can tell. So I really have no idea what to buy. Oh well though yeah. At the market though no one would leave Brighton or dalila alone. They keep touching their hair and trying to hold them and stuff. It's funny cause Brighton always looks at me and kinda has this embarrassed/help me look on his face. When my mom was buying some cute pink little asian shoes the lady sat there rubbing her hair for like 5 minutes straight. Like really 5 minutes. Then we went to the little meat/fish area and it smelled pretty gross and most of the stuff would definitely not pass American health standards.




After that we went to a restaurant called pho 24 (pronounced fu like f*** you, yes) which is like the panda express here. The money is called dong and the most common food sounds like the f word. Gotta love it. Anyways the stuff is good, it's just like chicken broth and noodles and then you can put bean sprouts or leaves and chives in it. I was pleasantly surprised.




After that we went to this place called vincom, which is like this really big nice mall. And we went to the arcade and we saw these Asians going crazy on the dance dance revolution. It was like the coolest thing ever. And when we got home my mom was way cool and we had rainbow cupcakes! They were awesome. My mom is awesome. So that was the first celebrated birthday in the new home. It was quite fun.




Yesterday I went to BIS which is the British international school. The place is pretty ridiculously nice. With how much it costs to go there it makes sense. I played basketball with some boys there. It was fun. Hadn't worn my kobe's or my compression shorts in a while that was cool. I forgot that compression shorts are the most comfortable things ever and they feel so good. Anyways that's been the past few days. As you kinda get into a routine and figure it out its not too bad I guess. Oh and we got a piano, so everything is fine.
