Salutations my fellow comrades.  Let me begin by saying that my gastrointestinal adventures, as well as those of the rest of my group, have indeed plateaued.  My advice for you if you are ever to travel to asia is to give yourself a good amount of time to get acclimated to the food.  It is definitely delicious; however, exiting a culinary climate consisting of steak, potatoes, and general college food, the transition was not the easiest.  Not to worry though, all is well.

    Our morning consisted of our usual class schedule followed by a meeting with the English club at the university.  We played games and interacted with the students in order to increase their comprehension level, which was already impressively high.  Upon return to the hotel, we prepared for a soccer, or as much of the world calls football, game against the university's team.  Now as a preface, the Vietnamese national team recently won some large tournament in asia and the sport is considered extremely popular not just in Vietnam, but most of the world.  This is not such in the United States.  This reality was quickly realized when our confidence, stemming from our height and general size, was decimated by the quick footed, agile Vietnamese team.  Let's just say that we didn't go out tonight, but opted instead to stay in and sleep.

    That's all for today.  This isn't to say that nothing else happens; however, much of what does is just an extension of what I've previously mentioned - for example food experiences or transportation.  Again, I hope that all is well with you.
