how were the stars over there

Oh vietnam's great, except that their food and toilets are =.="
No offense but they're worse than Singapore's Coffee Shop's toilet.
Which reminds me why i should be more appreciative and contended.
I'm gonna blog about vietnam soon but not now cause i'm kinda lazy and my stomach's killing me. I got diarrhoea like millions of times a day. Must be the sea food in vietnam (which kinda suck) that's dirty.
Oh and Vietnam's cold.

Here's a rough plan on what we did:

Day 1:
Assemble at Singapore Airport, stupid guide book the teacher gave me said its terminal 3 but actually its terminal 2.
Departed to Hanoi; 3 hours flight.
Touched down then took a long bus to Friendship Village (its quite a large home for orphans affected by Agent Orange, a liquid America sprayed druing WW2 which causes deformed growth)
Did some CIP, played with the kids there
Then take an over night train to Sapa.

Day 2:
Start Treking FansiPan

Day 3:
Still Treking FansiPan in the freezing cold.
Reach summit.
Trek down.

Day 4:
Still Treking down FansiPan in the freezing cold.
Then went to a Minority Village called Giay Minority.
The first time i bathed in 4 days. lol

Day 5:
The home stay at Giay Minority was great but the water is freezing cold.
Sometimes i wonder how i managed to bathe.
Did CIP with primary school kids; build fences, paint the school, carried rocks, cut wood and do a lot of stuffs.
Really fun

Day 6:
Went to pluck Taipoca for cip.
One basket full of taipoca carried on my back was 20+kg. Very difficult to climb down the hill with it.

Day 7:
Went to another Minority Village at Bac Ha.
In the morning went to the Bac Ha Market. (cross culture lol)
Took the over night train back to Hanoi

Day 8:
Halong Bay; i can't believe i paid SGD$4 for 3 hours of boat ride there.
Furthermore Halong Bay is recognized as World's Natural Heritage.
Had bad Sea Food lunch and dinner.
First night we stay in Hotel.
Party until must see principal.

Day 9:
Return back to Singapore

AND HOW DO I UPLOAD ALL THE VIETNAM PICTURES ON FACEBOOK !!! (we're supposed to share there)
