Purple Carrot Juice, Sunday, October, 7th, 2018

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Hello! Today we rode our bikes to the little coffee shop and a had a delicious breakfast. We also had something called “purple carrot juice”, it sounds weird but it was really good and had a lot of other fruits in it, it tasted a bit like grape.

Purple carrot juice,

We then rode back to our apartment to meet the other Cuso volunteers for a bike ride. We biked along the streets of Vientiane, which I was a bit nervous about – since there is a lot of traffic – but everyone here is really used to seeing bikers so they are careful about giving us lots of space and not running us over! Our guide then brought us to a beautiful temple:

Wow!

After seeing that we pedaled back, and took a “Tuk-tuk” (kinda like a taxi) to go get pizza. After that we got ready to go to the Australian Embassy for a Canadian thanks giving party we were invited to. They had a big swimming pool and tons of things to eat. The food was delicious.

And here is the word of the day: khwap jai (pronounced: hop-chai), it means thank you.

That’s all for now! goodbye!

On October 4th, my mom and I will be leaving our home in Canada to travel and live in Laos, Southeast Asia for one year. This blog is about my experiences living in a new country.

    1. Hi Lu! I’m not sure what this specific temple is called. They usually have pretty elegant names though. I’m pretty sure they don’t celebrate either, but we had the thanksgiving party so that was nice.
      I miss you guys back home! Anything exciting going on in school?

  4. Not anything abnormal…
    But I managed to make my science project about dogs! My experiment is on what colour Bow prefers.
    I’m going to put a treat behind different sheets of colored paper, and see which one he goes for first!

    Miss you so much! It sounds like you’re having loads of fun.

    Hugs -Lu
