I have discovered a new favorite-sugarcane juice! Small stalls began appearing around the city sometime in April, and while I first thought the idea of sugarcane juice sounded a bit odd, I decided to go for it while visiting Ho Chi Minh City and I’m glad I did! It’s sweet, but not too sweet, with…

Night Markets and Things I Don’t Need
So I first realized that I might have done this a few days ago, but today it’s been confirmed: I left my camera in the U.S. AWESOME. I only moved to another country over 8,000 miles away. Why not leave my camera? Aarg. That just means that you’ll have a few more days (weeks?) of…
I just spent 30 minutes on this post, but Tumblr decided to update itself in the middle of my writing so it didn’t get saved. Annoying. Anyway, it’s been a productive week, only helped by the fact that I’m awoken every morning at 8am(or earlier) by loudspeakers. My biggest accomplishment has definitely been learning to…

12th: The Gloriette-which looks down on Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the Hapsburgs. I had a ridiculously overpriced coffee there. I love the Gloriette, but having coffee there is just not worth it. You can’t see the view of the city from inside! 13th: U-bahn. Public transportation is definitely one of my favorite things…
