Good day! Hi, there! It's been for a while since I logged in. I went to Hochiminh city in Vietnam a few weeks ago and it was really amazing. Good food, people, environment and culture! I just tried everything I was interested in and didn't really care about spending but price in Vietnam was very reasonable that I just spent USD150 for food, tours, transportation and entrance fee for 5days. It is definitely cheaper than Philippines. I prefer Vietnam more than Philippines in terms of food and cleanliness. I will absolutely go back again and try to spend a few month there! I really appreciate people helped me out when was there. While I was in Vietnam, I did realize again how language skills are important when you get a job and travel to another country. I could express what I want to say and have conversation but I still need more efforts to study English as my second language that I can fluently communicate with people without any barriers. But honestly I really have no idea how I can improve my English here in the Philippines. Compare to before, when I came here for the first time I improved a lot since my English skill was terrible that I couldn't even understand "how young are you?". A few words/ sentences I know was "Thank you" "How are you?" "I'm fine, thank you and you?" "sorry" and "see you". I would like to learn more with natives because people here speak mixture of Filipino(tagalog) and English that called Tagalish. I also speak Tagalish unconsciously.. ....... I know it is my last term in my uni this term. So I booked flights to Thailand, Cambodia, Taiwan and China within this year! I am so excited to travel and explore again^^
