Early work days (7-11:30am) full of conducting speaking
exams call for delicious, happy-feeling-inducing foods to make up for it. So, Patrick and went out for a ride on the
motorbike and got kebabs from Bui Vien Street.
It wasn’t a typical kebab in a pita, nor was it a baguette, French/Vietnamese-style...
It was a random type of triangular bun.
But wow, was it good! The meat was seasoned well and the fillings were
very flavourful. It cost 28,000vnd ($1.50) each. I must say, I never
used to be a big fan of the fusion food when I was in Korea, but Vietnam seems
to have a knack for cross-cultural fusions and adaptations! Next, we plan to try it baguette-style like a banh mi kebab! Here's a shot of this meat, tomato, onion, cabbage, cucumber, mayo/spicy sauce, chili, etc. filled "kebab"!
On Tuesday, I also sorted out my Visa extension, then taught one hour of private in the afternoon. At night, I taught my first IELTS (writing test preparation) class in the evening with a group of 17+ year olds, a mix of senior high schoolers and university students. It went really well and they are incredibly kind and intelligent. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if I’ll be teaching them much more though, however, I hope I can more often!
After work for the day and some Bunh Rieu Cua for dinner, I finally had a chance to photocopy, scan and send in my acceptance letter for U of T’s MEd program! It feels amazing and it’s becoming so much more real, especially as I spend more time reading up about the program, its requirements and my course options!
