Diggity has there been any additional conversation about your babtismal
ceremony with Illini? I think you mentioned you faxed him the photos of the angles he needed.
Faz, we’re working out the final details.

Friday we have a pantless Facetime talk.

Next week is a group WeChat session.

Praying to Baby Jesus everything works out in my favor.

Illni - going to Vietnam for 10 days in July. Been to every big city from Northern to Southern Vietnam. Please share an itinerary for me. Love Hanoi especially Sapa and the cooler climates.
You gotta go to Cambodia not sure if you are only doing Vietnam or somewhere else. But if you are only doing Vietnam, you should come to Vietnam and go back home from Phnom Penh, you gotta go to Cambodia, it is a must.

How many years did it take you to learn Vietnamese @flyingillini ?
Did you take a class or just pick it up? Is is a hard language to learn?
It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I would say 99% of foreigners that live here do not speak any Vietnamese. It is extremely difficult. It is nothing like we know as in English, everything is different. It is a tonal language and in different parts of Vietnam they use different tones. For example I learned with a northern accent as well as my listening skills. So when I travel to the south, they speak completely different than what I am used to as well as have different vocab words for things. I went to Hanoi University to learn as well as learning from different girlfriends, friends, I even work at a little store for free, to immerse myself within the culture and speak, girlfriends really help too... I speak with a lot of Northern slang and people are really surprises and always laugh when they hear me talk and they say can't believe a foreigner speaks the way I do. However, there are some foreigners here that speak way better than me as well. You can live here and get by without learning Vietnamese but I wanted to learn and glad I did, makes your life much easier and girls love it when you speak it, most people don't speak English but the younger generation is learning it but the English teaching here sucks so they don't speak it well.
