Day Back

Spring Break is over, bummer. I feel weird writing again because it feels like its been forever. Vietnam was quite a life changing experience because I never really knew how fortunate we are to live here in Hawaii. Vietnam is a 3rd world country under communist rule where people make around 2 dollars a day. You can probably imagine how run down the city must look as well as the type of living conditions the people face. At the orphanages, you see kids who were abandoned on the streets or left at the doorsteps of the orphanage. In Hawaii, we buy food and goods like spoiled rich people. A hot meal is not a commodity that comes about often. Venders on the street have dogs, mice, birds, monkeys, etc. for sale for around a dollar. I was thinking how much UI wanted to have one of those as a pet. Turns out they were to be sold for food. And frogs legs actually taste like chicken. Though I would rather eat chicken.
