Vietnam!!

Hello, all! I'm in Vietnam right now with Dad and Jesi. So far we are having a great time, even though we haven't done much on our first day here.

Jesi and Dad had a long day yesterday. They left Portland, stopped in San Francisco, and then headed to Seoul where I met up with them. Here are a few pictures stolen from Jesi's camera for you to get a taste of their adventure.

Food on the flight.



Daddy looks tired...



So he slept.



I met up with them in the Incheon airport. Yay!! I finally got to see my Chicky!



We had a few hours at the airport so we went and walked around this little museum in the airport. Jesi made a rubbing of a picture and we did some stamping things.



Aaannd THIS is who I was so excited to see... *sigh*



Gratuitous "myspace" shot of the sisters.



Then we landed in Shanghai. They would only check our bags through to Shanghai so we had to go through immigration. My passport confused the heck out of them what with me traveling with two people who started in the U.S., an E2 visa for Korea and then a visitors visa for Vietnam. The guy was asking me questions looking all confused and then turning to the girl next to him and laughing and whispering questions in Chinese. We didn't have visas for China so they had to take us aside and make calls to get us approved to enter the country so we could get our bags and check in again.

While going through the Shanghai airport we saw a random Native American statue guy. What the heck?



On the airplane over to Shanghai, they gave us some good food. Some of it better than others...



We didn't care for the pickled radish stuff that tasted like puke (according to Jesi). The ham stuff looked questionable as well.



We finally made it to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam! Hooray! Jesi continued taking pictures all the way to the hotel. It was, like, 2am so no one was really out on the road.



The hotel lobby was a welcome sight.



Today we got up (more like Jesi jumped on the bed and woke me up) at 8:30 and went for the breakfast buffet at the hotel. This is what was for breakfast: assorted fruits, hash browns, breakfast rolls, half a dumpling of some sort, sausage, and a samosa! Yum!



Jesi is excited for yummy food. :)



After breakfast, we went and walked around town to see what there was. We got bored fast so we picked up snacks at the Circle K and headed back to the hotel.

Jesi swears by the M&M and Cheezit route. I tell her that is disgusting.



We also got a few things that looked just plain interesting. Okay... we got some chips that just looked interesting. The tomato ones tasted exactly like cream of tomato soup. It was good, but strange.



And this was Beijing Duck flavor.



Now we're just hanging out until Dad gets home. We'll go out to dinner, check out the mall, and grab some real groceries so we don't live off cheezits and chips all week. Jesi and I will probably venture out more tomorrow to do something more exciting than taking advantage of HBO. :)
