Winter Again.
Some winter. The weather here is still so warm and tshirt-shorts wearable.

My parents recently told me the news that they're sending me to Viet Nam. Viet Nam! It was abrupt, so I had to get my papers done fast, not to mention pay the extra $100 to get my passport emergency delivered to me. Government charges, bloodsuckers.

At first my sister was supposed to go with me and my pops, but since she gets out of finals too late, she had to pass up a big vacation. So it'll just be me and my dad. I'm basically there to keep an eye on him for my mom. **exasperated sighing**

I hate the *sigh*s, I know, but I actually let out a big sigh typing that. =P

Besides that part, I'm looking forward to the old country. The cheap stuff, annoying people, tropical climate, mopeds, my grandparents' 3-story houses, and being a foreigner. I'm actually considered really tall over there. I'm only 5'4 (a girl, by the way). It's been over 5 years since I've been there, and I hear it's changed. Cleaner, they say. Yeah right. My parents' hometown is this sweet tropical somewhat tourist-attracting place bordering Cambodia. It screams "invade me!" to the Khmer Rouge. Driving around in a moped I can see Cambodia, and these famous VietNamese islands that take forever to get to. They let you drive like 20 miles an hour max or something like that, so what would normally take 4 hours to get to in the states takes 3 times longer in VietNam. =/

I'm looking forward to wondering around in Saigon, too. It's crazy there, and I love it. There's always something interesting to gawk at.

I'll be leaving in a week. For now, I'm just chillaxing at home until I have to endure the horrible flight. It'll be a horrible flight.
