2nd day in Vietnam. 

I am staying at guest house of Binh Duong province's People Committee. I slept at 2am this morning and wake up at 6am. As we need to gather for breakfast at 7am before proceeding to the University for the short culture exchange.

Manage to woke up, and prepare myself in formal wear. Went to a chinese resturant for breakfast. As we are late, so we order those dishes which can be served fastest. There are free flow of Ice-tea. They also provide free coke, sprite and coffee. I ordered Ice milk tea, but it was too sweet that I onli drink 1/4 cup of it.

Next stop is the university. We are being warmly welcome by the university student, teachers, staff and Binh Duong people's associate. We are also being film by the local media-crop, and was being post in the noon news. The Vietnamese student here do learn english and chinese language as their subject. Managed to communicate with them in either languages. In the uni here, there is also overseas teacher whom are here to teach them other languages, for example there is a US citizen whom teaches english. 

After Uni, went for lunch at a small restaurant. We are being served frog leg, 2 plates of mixed veg, bitter gourd  soup, banana and rice. I onli ate the rice with bitter gourd soup and mixed veg. After lunch still feel very very hungry. Didnt got chance to eat any meat here. :(

After lunch is about 12.30pm, went back to guest house to get ourself change in comfortable attire and meet at 2pm. Went out to the supermarket with christy (RP faci) and a few friends. Didnt bought any stuff, as nothing much to be bought. They dont sell much stuff at all. 

Left guest house at 2pm for the VSIP - Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park. Had a bus tour there, unable to walk as it is too big. They had 2 big land for this industrial park. Nothing much to see, other then all the factories.

Went back to guest house after the VSIP. Resting time now. Tonite and 2ml is team 1 teaching nite. I am in team 3, so resting for me. Will be going for dinner at 6pm with the rest and might go out for shopping and stuff. Hope that I can get a cake, as today is jared 21st bday. Celebrating it in Vietnam, that cool!!!!

I am having headache now, as those vehicle here like to hon alot. The worst part is that the bus we took, the hon was like loud and sharp. And the driver keep honing. OMG what to do!! today is just the 2nd day. I still have 10 more days to endure. :(

Will be taking pandol and cough pills tonite again. My cough didnt go any better, but quite a few friends got fever. Maybe due to that we didnt drink alot of water, as the water here is abit more saltier. 

Take care ba, my friends. Update 2ml again
