This morning before class Cate and I met up because she needed help filming a video but also so we could study before our sociology quiz. We headed to class and took the quiz, which was not as bad as the first one we had. We then had a lecture on food of Vietnam, complete with our professor bringing us all kinds of goodies to try. After class I came back to the dormitory and took a nap. When I woke up, I began doing some of my final projects for classes. Cate and I went to get supper, and we headed to the bot chien place, where we each had bot chien trung with 2 eggs. I bought her supper, and in return she had to come to Circle K with me because I had to buy more minutes for my phone. The rest of the night was pretty relaxing, and Cate and I spent a lot of time talking as well as spent some time talking with Sophie.
Such a short blog post because today was such a lazy day, so enjoy some pictures from the trip to Ta Kou.

 |
| We were at first confused as to what the perfect squares of light were, but we quickly found out that those are the dragon fruit farms! They remain lit at night to stimulate flowering. |

| Vien and the crab she caught during our night hike in Ta Kou. |
