The mirrors are angled down because everyone here is short.
You will be asked to buy a pair of sunglasses fifty times a day.
You can rent a motor scooter for $5 for 24 hours.
In a group of americans I am one of the shortest… in a group of asians I am one of the tallest.
When you go to the movies it will be in English and the subtitles are in Vietnamese… fair?! Not.
People stare at you…. a lot… and sometimes kids will run away… or do the opposite and chase you down the street.
When you start to walk across the street.. don't stop.. you will be hit by a motorbike.
If it looks like meat there is a 50% chance that it is dog.
You can have 27 Vietnamese in the taxi or 9 Americans before it starts to lean.
You will catch a cab from anyone anyway because you are probably lost in a foreign country….
You will be a millionaire and feel special with 2,000,000 dong but you usually only have 100 USD.
I have no seen a police car in sight… they just walk the streets with their guns.

Side note: We recently had team changes. I am now on a new team with no one that I was on a team with the first three months of the race. I am full of excitement but also sadness in the loss of great team mates. I know I will grow in this next season but prayers would be appreciated. Prayers of unity, conformity, honesty and vulnerability.
Another side note: I head to Siem Reap, Cambodia on a six hour bus ride (Because I am in Phnom Penh right now with my squad) for month four of ministry Friday at 9:00 am. Prayers for safety and health would be amazing.
God bless,
Sarah
