What cute nonsense, haha :P

Must find Banana Milk in the States!

Dim Sum in United College with Alice and Lu <3

United College, what I considered home for four precious and unforgettable months in my college career

@ "Mr. Wong's"

We have no shame in dressing up just to go to Mr. Wong's for dinner ;) Love my Penny-dates. 

Dai Pai Dong x 3! It's huge, indoors and out!

Wahh, so warm and delicious, all-you-can-eat hotpot :)

Friends together to celebrate Leslie's birthday

Lulu, I miss youuu

WAFFLES!!

I forgot what that's called that we're eating, but it's SO GOOD! Special thanks to our local food tour guide, Ryan. 

Picture shot in the middle of a good laugh. Aren't those the best? :D

Langham Place, happy with food in our tummies :)

Dinner at my cousin Sue's place. Penny made Dduk Bok Ki and Sue made Kimchi Stew and Carrot Cake (omgoodness, definitely THE best I've ever had).

We waited 2 hours in line for the famous dim sum place in Mongkok! The place is tiny and it took so long for them to seat our group of 5. But it's a good story to tell... we met a Korean guy in the restaurant (front left) who is a pilot for Asiana Airlines stopping in Hong Kong for the day. He insisted on treating us for lunch, even though we just met and he didn't even eat with us! 

Of one the best foods I have tried in Hong Kong. Pineapple Bun  filled with Char-siu (pork). SO AMAZING!! Well worth the wait :)

High Tea at the Penninsula Hotel... the classiest, most expensive meal I had in Hong Kong! Just to end the semester with a bang. But I must say, I would be just as satisfied at a Hong Kong dai pai dong or with Korean street snacks :)

Wahh! I just used up my 1 GB of storage on Blogspot! Well, I guess this concludes the photo tour of my life in the past half a year. Hope you enjoyed the pictures and stories. Wish you all could have come along for the ride!

Sincerely Yours,
Teresa

Flashbacks to Vietnam ~ Hồ Chí Minh and Đà Nẵng

First impressions of Ho Chi Minh: smoggy, dangerous roads, small people, lacking hygiene... cheap everything! 

Our motorcycle adventure in Da Nang city

Starting off with a fancy bruncht, a total of $9 US for four people - pricey!

Riding up the curvy mountains

Breath-taking views on our way up to the top

Mommy looks cool

A perfect day for sight-seeing...

Purple lotus flowers!

Classic village-side rice paddy scene

A real, old, well

Basking in the sun... or waiting to get paid

There are many many of these workshops where young girls are learning classical Chinese embroidery. You can bring your favorite photo to this shop and they can embroider it - the threading is so intricate and detailed, it's amazing how much time and precision is put into one piece of work! The most amazing piece I saw was of a sunset view with boats on the ocean - the impressions of the reflections of light on the water is unbelievable beautiful.

A new bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam

Mom and I took a walk at a beach near our hotel. It was surprisingly clean, the sand was soft, and the water cool on the hot day. 

Escargo stuffed with clear noodles dipped in fish sauce... so yummy

Usually my go-to fish at Vietnamese restaurants - Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio

mmm durian smoothie with coconut milk, tapioca, and other good stuff!

Christmas night, on our way to dinner with Dad's childhood friends who live in Ho Chi Minh city

Sour Fish Soup with Rice - AMAZING! Almost as good as how my dad makes it ;)

Waffles and Banana chips - street food from my mom's childhood memories!

Christmas Day traffic in Saigon - people are eating out, hanging out on the crowded streets, window shopping at the malls, and taking holiday pictures everywhere.
