In Bangkok

Hello everyone! Yes I'm on my way home again, with more experience under my belt. Here are some non-fencing closing thoughts on Vietnam:

- You can fit anything on a motorbike; Even your new refrigerator!

-If you do not live in the city, you must have a cow. This cow must be HUGE. If your cow is not as big as a horse you cannot be as cool as I thought you were.

-Hats shaped like cones are all the rage!

-The sidewalks, according to the signs, aer for bicycles and/or horse and buggies ONLY!

-If you have nowhere to live, build a house on top of your neighbors house. Actually, build a house on top of the house on top of the house on your neighbor's house.

-Do NOT smile in pictures. After the pictures, please photoshop out all freckles, and lighten your skin considerably. Your head should be at a nice tilt. (I got my picture taken at a photography place for the competition, and they basically photoshopped me until I looked...Vietnamese)

-Whatever you do... DO NOT PUT YOUR FEET UP ON THE ROW IN FRONT OF YOU, no matter how much dust and grime is already there!

-You are not allowed to be over 5'2, and if you are good luck finding clothes. My teammate, who is not big, was a XXXL in Vietnam.

-Your food must be either bread, rice, noodles or FRIED

Gotta run! I have 1 minute left on the internet!!!
