Vietnamese is the main language spoken in Vietnam. Many people are also learning English.
The Vietnamese Dong is the currency used here.
A bottle of water is 5,000 Vietnamese Dong, which is about 19 cents.
The best meal I had was bún bò huế in Ho Chi Minh City. Bún bò huế is a warm noodle soup with meat, noodles, and a spicy tomato broth. It is a famous dish from the city of Huế in central Vietnam. It was the best meal because the flavors reminded me of my mom’s cooking.
I listened to Vietnamese pop music and music played in cafes.
My favorite activity this week was feeding crocodiles in Ho Chi Minh City. We put chicken on a string and a pole and fed it to them.
I am learning Vietnamese. This week, I tried to read Vietnamese signs when I walked around.
