<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It didn't take long of me being in Australia to miss Vietnamese food, and while staying with my aunty in Ringwood last week, I decided to source some out.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mum and I came across Thien Long Restaurant on the Mountain Highway in Bayswater when we had a peak through the window and saw the GIANT bowls of pho that the guests were enjoying. We walked in and were greeted kindly and shown a table to sit at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed and I felt very welcome there. We were given menus and a full thermos of hot green tea to enjoy while we pondered our options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<br /><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The menu wax extensive, with many variations of traditional Vietnamese and Chinese food. Mum ordered the combination beef pho and I ordered the My Xao (fried noodles) with <i>crispy</i> noodles, something I've never tried.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was so proud of myself to have ordered in Vietnamese and am proud to say that the waitress didn't even realize we were speaking Vietnamese together until half way through the order.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

Our food came in good time and it was absolutely delicious. The first thing that stood out to me as being different than Vietnamese food in Vietnam is that the beef was utterly succulent. Vietnamese beef is quite chewy and stringy, and the beef used in both the My Xao and the Pho just fell apart in the mouth.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
With our meals we got a lemon juice and a coconut smoothie which was one of the most delicious drinks I've ever consumed. The whole two meals and drinks cost less than $30 all up, sweetening the deal even more.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Melbourne, I've heard of your Vietnamese food being delicious and you have proven everyone right. I will definitely be returning here when I am next in the area!</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've lived in Hanoi for over two years now and every time I come home to Australia, I like to have a crack at cooking authentic Vietnamese cuisine for my family. My partner and I have a dream of owning a Vietnamese Restaurant one day, and this is one step forward for me. Playing around with different ingredients and recipes to find the most authentic tasting dishes (without the MSG). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love cooking so much, and if you are someone who does not, then pho is not the dish for you! This recipe took me two days to make (although, if I started early in the morning, we could've eaten it that night), including 8+ hours of actual cooking time, and hours of prep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After a long two days of chopping, soaking, boiling, roasting, slicing, squeezing, grilling, and more, I was so proud to serve this delicious dish to my family, who simply couldn't get enough of it. The brisket had been cooked for around six hours in the broth making it absolutely melt in your mouth, and the spices mixed together to form the most perfect taste not only in the broth, but all throughout the meat.</span></div>

Feel free to cut out the brisket and just use the meat that will fall off the bones for a cheaper and smaller portioned alternative. Fresh noodles are always best, but are hard to get if you don't live near Melbourne, so dry ones are okay. Get the ones that say 'banh pho' on the packet, available from any Woolworths stores.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Method:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) In a large stock pot, soak the beef bones in cold water with 1tbsp of salt for one hour. While you're waiting, dry roast the cinnamon, fennel, star anise, and peppercorns on low heat until fragrant. Place them in a muslin cloth, and tie it up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Char grill the unpeeled ginger, shallots, and garlic for around 15 minutes or until all sides are blackened. Once cooled, peel excess blackened skin and discard. Roughly chop the ginger, shallots, and garlic to put in the pot later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) Place the strained beef bones and 2kg of brisket in 6L of water and put on to boil. Once boiling, turn down to a simmer and add 3/4 cup fish sauce, 1 tbsp of salt and 80g sugar. Add the garlic, shallots, and ginger. Place the muslin wrap with the spices in the water. Leave the pot to simmer for 6-8 hours. Leave to cool overnight, or until it's needed to be served.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Once cooled, the broth will have a layer of fat on top that has solidified. Don't get rid of this, bring the both back up to a simmer until the fat has dissolved and then remove the brisket and leave to cool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Strain the broth through a double layer of muslin cloth to get rid of all impurities, and place back on the stove to simmer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) Remove the excess meat from the beef bones, at this stage it should just fall off as you take the bones out of the stock pot. Put the meat in a bowl and set aside for later. Slice the brisket thinly and also set this aside.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">7) Prepare toppings by slicing spring onion, and chopping up coriander. The take around 5cm of the spring onion to serve in one piece, and chop the rest of it as you usually would, about 5mm thick. Prepare the lime wedges as well as the chopped chilli and crushed garlic to serve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8) Prepare the noodles as directed and place desired amount into a bowl, topping with some thin slices of the beef. Take two of the 5cm pieces of spring onion and a sprinkling of the smaller pieces, sprinkle with bean sprouts and ladle soup over the noodles to fill the bowl. Top with coriander and each person can garnish with lime, chili, garlic, and siracha as needed.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: small;">People seem to think that Hanoi is one of the
more boring cities of Vietnam.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: small;">The main tourist attractions in Hanoi are the Water Puppet Theatre, Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature, Ngoc Son Temple, Tran Quoc Pagoda, The Women's Museum, the Museum of Ethnology, the Fine Arts Museum. None of these things really take that long, and lets face it, temples and museums (as beautiful as they are) can get boring really quickly. </span></span></div>

Tourists come for a week and 'run out of things to do'. Friends of mine said

we might head down to Hoi An early".<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

coolest cafe's I've found so far is the Xom Tau cafe that's located on the
train tracks that connects Vietnam's major cities. These train tracks are home to
many, and hide some well kept secrets, one of them being this very cafe where you sit and drink just a meter or two from the train as it roars by. Oh did I mention, the drinks are cheap as all get out! Find it along the tracks at Kham Thien
street. Park your bike at the end (or get the taxi to drop you there), walk
along the tracks, and you won't miss it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

walking around early in the morning, it's equally, but in a different way,

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-size: small;">Whether you
are planning to be here for six months, one year, or ten, I think it's so
important to make an effort to learn at least a conversational level of the
language. There's so many ways to go about it these days. You can spend money
on lessons, do language exchange meet ups with Vietnamese locals, or even learn
from YouTube.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">“She asked me to get on my knees and spread my cheeks… it was time
for the crack” – A friend who definitely doesn’t want to be named.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">There are so many horror stories out there about getting waxed in
Hanoi. Dark rooms, burnt skin, ingrown hairs, anything that can happen, will.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">When Salon Van Nguyen announced that they were doing waxing, I was
so excited, as they are the salon that I go to for my haircuts and colours and
I trust them completely. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">I made a few appointments, and never showed up. I hadn’t been
waxed in a long time, and I was so nervous to do it in such a different country.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">When my friend messaged me recently to say “Hey, I’m going to get
waxed”, I insisted she bring me with her.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">I finally got around to getting waxed in Hanoi and without going
into too much details, it was painful, but very worth it. Hanh, my waxer, was
very professional and very thorough.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 18.0pt;">When we arrived at the salon we
were given some water and were sat down to wait while they prepare the room.
After not long at all, they called us upstairs and we entered the room which
held two waxing tables and one <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">very</i> sheer
curtain. Even with the curtain closed, we could easily see each other. Luckily
we aren’t shy together.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

shouldn't be poked, prodded, ripped, and plucked.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

professional, comfortable women, The salon uses an olive wax, which is heated
up to around 35-38 degrees in the waxing pot, and then applied to the skin.
Once cooled, the dry wax is ripped quickly off the skin, making it silky
smooth. At the end of the treatment, they use an olive massage oil.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another Cultural Storytime</span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today I was at work and a student stapled his finger... The way it was handled was oh-so-much different to the way it would've been handled anywhere I've ever seen. I'm going to try my best to talk about it without getting angry and offending the culture of this country I have adopted as my own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a private class on Thursdays. They are pretty advanced so I don't need an assistant to translate. Meaning; there was no parent or other adult around.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The students were drawing themselves as Egyptian pharaohs and including what they would have buried in the tomb with them. They had been working so well and quietly and I was working away on a report for them on my computer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One student was playing around under his seat and suddenly he very calmly raised his hand</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Uhhh, teacher...?" He sounded as if nothing was the matter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Yes, what is it?" I replied, without even looking up from my computer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Umm, my finger" He said. I had a look this time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I could see something shining on his finger and from a distance it looked like some glass. I thought that he had found some glass on the ground and had pressed his finger to it to pick it up and was just simply giving it to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Oh no problem, give it here" I held out my hand</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He started to look a little green and I noticed his eyes had this terrified sickening look in them. I came over to have a closer look and that's when I noticed it. He had been trying to pick up (I think) the stapler at his feet and had somehow completely stapled his finger horizontally. Like; if you hold your finger horizontal to your face, see the tip? All you could see there was the silver line of the staple. Then from the top view you could see the tip just poking out the other side near his fingernail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It had completely gone into his finger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I instantly started to feel sick and as I yelled at one other student not to pull it out, I grabbed my phone so that he could call his mum who was somewhere nearby.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The other students started to freak out and were yelling for someone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> *I'd like to point out that at this stage the student was still just sitting there staring at his finger*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the other students' mums came running in and asked him in Vietnamese</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Does it hurt?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He said "Yeah, it does"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She is completely unphased, and simply says "No problem".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She then proceeds to yank it out and slap him on the arm with a "All good" kinda demeanor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If this happened to me, and my mum was just a calls away, I would be staying there with the stapler in my finger until my own mum came to take it out. And I am 21 years old. I know they have different relationships with their parents here but surely they would prefer their own mother to be there and help them out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So since it was yanked out and the mum had left, it has started to trickle blood out of the three punctures two at the entry point and one where it came out the other side) and he was <i>still</i> just sitting there with the same expression (although at this point he looked like he was about to pass out at any moment)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I grabbed a tissue, and wrapped it around his finger and squeezed it tightly (just as I had always been told and had always done) while comforting him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That's when the mum came in, started saying "No, don't do that!" to me in an annoyed 'this girl can't do anything' voice. She took the tissue off and wrapped some medical tape around it. That's it. Just medical tape. Non-absorbent, strong, going-to-hurt-when-it-gets-pulled-off, medical tape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I can't possibly be wrong in saying that it would've been better to secure a tissue <i>at least</i> to the area. After only five or so minutes the blood had actually started to come through the tape because, well, nothing was soaking it up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I guess things are done differently here blah blah blah I'm constantly being reminded that my way is not always the right way but in this case I'm being left thinking 'surely'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What do you think? What's something you've encountered that really shows the cultural differences between Vietnam and wherever you're from. Let me know in the comments below!</span><br />

I was so excited to do this one, once I saw the prompt I jumped at the opportunity. I was a it nervous about how it would go, but once I started, I couldn't stop.<br />
<br />
"That smile is a sunflower<br />
in a wilted field of others<br />
maybe I'm just blind<br />
unable to see<br />
anyone else<br />
in this dull mess<br />
but you<br />
oh you<br />
<br />
with that sunflower smile"<br />
<br />
Obviously written about my wonderful fiancé, this piece came easily to me when I thought of the first thing of his that came to mind, that turned out to be his smile.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy it!</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with notebooks and journals. I currently have so many on the go, and I've been getting questions lately as to what the heck I do with all of these notebooks. So here I am, and here's what I do!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I like to think of notebooks as folders on a desk top... you wouldn't keep everything you have in just one folder would you? No, so why (If you need to be writing a lot/taking lots of notes) would you do it with notebooks?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is my <a href="http://bulletjournal.com/">Bullet Journal</a>. My pride and joy. My absolute most used notebook, and the one that has made me believe in myself that I can actually stick to something.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been using this notebook for around a year now and am on my second one. I got this exact book (the Leuchttrum 1997) for Christmas in Australia. I'd never order one of these babies online to Hanoi for fear of it never getting here!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I use this notebook for my daily organizing and some note taking. I started using this sort of blank-page journal for my daily planner because I liked that each week could be different. If I got bored of the way it looked, I could just change it. I also like that some weeks I can spend five minutes writing up the weekly planner, and some weeks an hour or more designing, drawing, writing, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is my actual (kinda) journal. It's a great way to get out my feelings. When I'm angry or sad or stressed I just get out this book and write about it. It's messy, it doesn't make much sense, but it's great to get my head around some things. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also use this book for my 'conscious writing' which is when I write without thinking and just keep writing and keep writing. It's really helpful to do in the mornings (I got that idea from <a href="http://juliacameronlive.com/basic-tools/morning-pages/">The Artist's Way - Morning Pages</a>)</span></div>

It’s a public holiday weekend for Vietnam, and my friend and I wanted to go
somewhere new. Thailand is the easiest, cheapest, and closest to Hanoi, but
Bangkok is overdone. We wanted to go to an island, but neither of us are that into
drinking/partying. We really just wanted a relaxing beach weekend. After searching
around for the best places, we settled on Koh Samet, a small island
in the Gulf of Thailand, about 220 kms from Bangkok.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Some of the information
of how to get around was a little hard to find online. So here I have made a
comprehensive guide of what we did, where we stayed, how we got there, and how
much it all cost. Enjoy!<br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">After a very brief
flight (nap), we stepped off into easy-to-navigate <span style="background: white;">Don Mueang International Airport (</span>DMK) where we were instantly hassled
to buy SIM cards for our phones. We were after some anyway, so we went with the
first people we found, but I did struggle with the fact that the very crowded
small area not once but twice featured someone holding my passport or phone in
the air yelling 'whose is this?' (I mean, anyone could’ve taken it f I weren't paying attention!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
We spoke to the information desk about how to get to our next destination, Ban
Phe, which is where we would take the ferry over to the island to stay the
night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We had left plenty of
time to take the bus, sky train, and second bus to get to the Ban Phe port
before 6pm (which is when the last ferry runs to the island). Unfortunately,
the bus took a hell of a lot longer than we thought. If you are thinking of
going to Koh Samet for the weekend, read this and you’ll get a good idea of how
to do it the right way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">From DMK, we left out of
exit 6 (which is, for some reason, marked as Gate 6) where the bus to Mo Chit
Station (star this) was about to arrive. The bus departs here for Mo Chit
Station (the last stop) every five minutes, and takes about 25 mins to get
there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We got on the bus and
paid THB30 and had a relaxing short drive to the station. The conductors ask
you where you're going and let you know when it's your stop. They are quite difficult to understand, but that's what they're trying to say. From where the bus
stops, you’ll walk down the road to the sky train (which should be starred on
your map!). You’ll walk up the steps to the station and see the ticket
booths and turnstiles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We had to ask the people
at the booths how to do it, but it’s pretty easy. You’ll put your coins in the
machine after pressing the number of the station to which you want to go. The
number is also how much it costs, which is convenient. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We then went through
with our tickets, and got on the sky train that was heading from Mo Chit
Station to Ekkamai Station (again, star it!).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ekkamai, we got off and walked down to the street (if you star the station,
you’ll be able to see which side of the street to get off and save walking up
and down the stairs 100 times to find the right side like we did)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We went to the booth
that said Ban Phe and purchased our tickets for an hour's time, 2pm.
They said the trip would take three and a half hours, so we figured that by leaving at 2pm,
we’d get there in time to catch the last ferry at 6pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Little did we know that
the bus trip actually takes a lot longer (about five and a half hours), and we were
there well after the last ferry had left. They have speedboats at this time
for double the price, so we think that the bus driver purposely got us there too
late so that his friends could drive us over for more money. (but we might just be jaded from living in Southeast Asia for too long).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Once we were nearing the
piers at Rayong, we realised that the hotel we had booked was coming up on the
map as on the mainland, and not actually on the island. So as it turned out, it
was actually not that bad that we got there late, as we just had to take a 10
min walk <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/th/mac-garden-resort-restaurant.en-gb.html?aid=357026;label=gog235jc-hotel-XX-th-macNgardenNresortNrestaurant-unspec-vn-com-L%3Aen-O%3AosSx-B%3Achrome-N%3AXX-S%3Abo-U%3AXX-H%3As;sid=0ac85b733e7a18e49f8a400100aceb70;dist=0&sb_price_type=total&type=total&">Mac Garden Resort& Restaurant</a></span> in Rayong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We were very confused
when we arrived there, as all the lights were off but one. We walked towards
the light and saw one girl by a desk who we told our names to. She used her
very advanced computer system (it was an old, ripped, discoloured, and cockled
book) to check us in (she crossed our names off in said book, and had my friend sign off on a piece of paper on a clip board), and sent someone
to show us our rooms. Without offering to take bags, he showed us our room and
left before we could ask about the wifi password, breakfast details, or
anything else we wanted to know. He had also left with the air conditioner
remote after he had turned it down to a very unpleasing temperature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">We went back to the
front desk to ask for these details only to find that as we were the last to
check in for the day, they had packed up and left, and there was no one there
to help us out (I’d like to point out that at this time it was around 7:30pm).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">As bad as the service at
the hotel was, it really wasn’t a bad hotel (although I definitely wouldn’t go
as far as to say it was a resort). The rooms were clean and comfortable, the
beds a typical Asian standard of hard, and the bathroom nothing short of a
working bathroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">As far as hotels go,
this one is just fine if you’re just planning on sleeping in it, and leaving
for adventure in the morning. Which is exactly what we did. It’s definitely a
cheaper alternative (at around $20 a night for a double room) than staying on
the island. Though we did find that there may be cheaper accommodation on the island, but it couldn't be found online.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Day two, we were off to
Koh Samet Island. We took the 10am ferry over to the island from Nuanthip Pier,
which was a very short walk from the hotel. The ferry tickets were THB100 for a
round trip, in which we could take any ferry back during the day, with the last
one being at 6pm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Once we arrived on the

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The strangest thing
about the area we were staying in is that the streets were completely dead by
about 7:30-8pm. Shops were shut up, as the dimly lit street became quiet with
little traffic passing through, and the small number of bars in the area had closed their kitchens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

burgers better than any burger I’ve had in Hanoi and at a fraction of the

We bought one from a lady because she promised that her bus was half an hour
faster as it was a minibus, though it left a half hour later, we'd still get back a half hour earlier than we would taking the big bus). So we paid the extra THB50 to get on that bus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

enough fuel at the beginning?). Everyone got off the bus and the driver was
telling us to get off too, pointing to a large cylinder in the bus and saying
‘boom boom’. As soon as he said it, we freaked out and got straight off the bus
wondering aloud what was happening. Luckily one of the Thai ladies on the bus
could speak English and told us that we have to get off the bus in case there
is a bomb that explodes (I’m sorry, what?).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

which I very highly recommend. We got one full bed to share in a dorm room,
which I was expecting to be one big room full of other smelly tourists and late
night interruptions. Much to our delight, it was a ‘pod style’ room, and we got
our own little hole in the wall with a curtain to pull closed for privacy. Although there was one instance where some new comers ripped open our curtain in the morning, and shined their phone torch in, very </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 18px;">abruptly</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> waking us up, and saying sorry but not closing the curtain back up right away (grrr)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The bed was large,
comfortable, and the room was a great temperature. At just USD20 per night,
making it USD10 each, I would highly recommend this hostel for a place to stay
in Bangkok that’s really close by to the sky train (Phrom Phong station to be

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">If you type into your google maps how to get to the BKK airport from where you are, there will be easy directions of exactly where you need to go to catch the connecting sky train.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><b>*Tip: I highly recommend leaving
yourself plenty of time for this trip, as little things that go wrong can take
up a lot of time and you can end up rushing like we had to!*</b></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The BKK airport is
pretty easy to navigate, and before we knew it we were back home in Hanoi where
we took the 86 bus back into town for VND30,000 each.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week I wanted to use some brown paper once I had the idea for this entry and I decided that as a part of the Sunday Art Project, I could use an old medium and do a coffee wash on paper project instead of going out to get brown paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I haven't done this in years and I was so excited to go and make a coffee, resist the urge to drink the disgustingly strong beverage, and tarnish the once clean white paper with a gorgeous brown colour that dilates my pupils with just the smell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I can't live without coffee. And no, I will not do anything until I have had it!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">April was a big month for me. A lot of great things happened, I turned 21, and I went on a trip with my best friend to Thailand!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also lost a <i>lot</i> of classes due to public holidays, and earned a lot less than I usually do! But I'm great on a budget, so we should be good!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This month, I posted my 'Back at it Again' post for relaunching my blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I then posted a storytime called '<a href="http://www.millieburns.com/2017/04/they-pee-everywhere-storytime.html">THEY PEE EVERYWHERE</a>', and a storytime called '<a href="http://www.millieburns.com/2017/04/how-i-met-love-of-my-life-storytime.html">How I met the Love of my Life in Hanoi</a>'. I also reviewed <a href="http://www.millieburns.com/2017/04/tranquil-cafe-best-cafe-in-hanoi.html">Tranquil Cafe</a>, my favorite cafe in Hanoi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As an added surprise for this month, I started a project called the <a href="http://www.millieburns.com/p/the-sunday-art-project.html">Sunday Art Project</a>, where I do a piece of art each Sunday inspired by a prompt and post it here!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">'The World to Come' by Dara Horn. Very well written, it's a mystery novel about a stolen art piece. Taking you through America, Russia, and Vietnam, the novel explores different time periods, and follows multiple peoples' stories. A really great read! </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A while back I wrote about what it's like <a href="http://www.millieburns.com/2015/12/i-still-remember-when-i-first-came-to.html">dating outside your own culture</a>. A friend recently asked me if I had written about how I met Quang, and I realised that I hadn't, but I think it's a story worth sharing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are two sides to every story, and both Quang and I have two different experiences of how we met. Here you can read about both of them...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Quangs side:</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I first saw her at the hostel, and I asked my friend, "Wow, who's that girl?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"She is staying here, but don't try anything because her dad is a detective." he joked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I couldn't get her image out of my head. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not long after, I saw my friend's photo on Facebook with the same girl. They were moving to an apartment together (as friends), and I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to go over there and talk to her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I didn't have the guts to go and see her, because I was busy and didn't really know her well enough. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I then saw another Vietnamese friend tag her in a photo of them out together, and I was like 'Whaaaaaat???'. I asked him "Is that girl named Millie?" and he said yes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was this conversation that lead to our 'accidental meeting' on September 9th, 2015. This was the day I asked my friends if I could come with them because I wanted to meet Millie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She was surprised when I told her that I already knew her name.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We both acted cool, but really we were both into each other. When the night ended, I told her to message me if she wanted to hang out again, but it seemed like she didn't really care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was surprised when a few days later she had found me on Facebook and had messaged me. She said that she didn't know what to have for lunch, and I told her I would take her out and immediately got ready and started going to her house. When I got to her apartment, I messaged her to ask what number floor her room was and she said "Oh, you're not actually coming are you?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I realised that she was joking about me coming over but I had made the effort to go all the way to her house already.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I thought to myself 'Should I leave now or take a risk and go to her room?'. I chose to go to her room and it was a decision I will never regret because look where we are now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Millie's side:</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I look back on how Quang and I met, all signs lead to the fact that we were most definitely supposed to meet at one stage in this crazy life. We were lucky enough to meet at a time that worked for both of us.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I first moved to Hanoi I became best friends with this guy. We moved into an apartment together, and he told me one day that he wanted to set me up with a Vietnamese friend of his.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having just moved to a new city and not planning on staying too long, I declined his invitation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the same time as this, I had made some Vietnamese friends who I would often go drinking with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One night they told me that someone new was going to be coming with us tonight. When I got to meet him, I said "Hey, I'm Millie," and he said "I know, I'm Quang".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was so surprised when I realised who he was because I had felt an instant spark between us. I spotted the friend who tried to set us up and ran over to him and told him that I had finally met Quang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That night was full of unapologetic stares caught between the two of us, and ended in me going to bed like a giggly little girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next day I has begged my friend to invite him over to our house so that we could meet again without me having to message him the next day but after days of waiting for my fiend to ask him, I caved and messaged Quang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From our first date at a terrible Bun Cha restaurant to this very day, I have been in love with this man and known that something was supposed to happen between us.</span><br />

Well not to me anyway. In the two years that I have been exploring countless cafes in Hanoi, Tranquil Cafe is the one that I always come back to.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The two good friends who own and run Tranquil share the same dream. "We want to create a space where people can come to read real
books". The decor is inspired by their love of books, they carefully
select the perfect reads for the cafe's shelves that aren't just there for
looks. They wanted people to actually come and read them while enjoying the
finest coffee Hanoi can offer. </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Located in a tiny alley, tucked away in the
corner of the Old Quarter, it is an artists' dream. A real place to escape the
cities’ busy streets, and focus on you. While sitting there enjoying a drink, you can feel the creative vibe surrounding the place. The founder of the cafe, claims that many, many years ago, it was actually the first elementary school
in Hanoi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 18.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The brothers aim to create a minimalist style cafe.
They say, "We didn't want to overcrowd the place with decorations. As you
can see, it's very simple." This gives the cafe a perfect, <em><span style="font-family: "cambria"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">tranquility</span></em><span class="apple-converted-space"> vibe</span> to it. It feels as if it could be your own living room. They don't spend much
money on furniture; instead they use one of their personal suppliers to
handcraft all of the furniture themselves. In fact, the brothers source all
their supplies from their personal friends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt;">A close friend of theirs makes the cafe’s
cakes herself. She bakes only one cake at a time, so you know
you will always get the freshest baked goods. I had the pleasure of tasting the
cake of the day, which was the matcha cake. It's a triple layered cake with
matcha cream, cream cheese, and sponge cake. It was perfectly balanced. The
matcha was not too strong, the cream cheese a smooth buttery texture, and the
sponge cake fresh and fluffy. You can buy one of the delicious treats for only
VND45,000.</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 18.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt;">They source all the coffee locally from a friend roasts it himself. They are grown in Dalat.
This coffee is also ordered only when they need it, giving the customers the
freshest beans you could imagine. Truly the aroma of coffee hits your nose the
moment you walk in the door, and you can tell straight away that you are going
to get a fine quality beverage. They specialise in western coffees, which can
be purchased for around VND24,000 to VND50,000. They also have a selection of
fresh teas for around VND28,000 to VND66,000, and ice blended drinks for around
VND50,000.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d596d; font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The cafe holds weekly events in both Vietnamese and
English. On Saturday they have a free movie screening, inviting anyone who
wants to, to come view it for free. On Wednesday they have an open mic night,
also for free, where people can just be creative in front of an audience.
Performers can sing, play piano or guitar, or even read a poem or a story. The
only performance they ask for money for is on Sunday nights - when paid artists
come to play their music. The fee is VND100,000 and covers your entry and free
tea/coffee/beer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

working there since day one. They all aim to develop a strong relationship with
their customers. The word 'tranquil' sums up this cafe perfectly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

people and peeing. Particularly men and very young children. The number of
penises I've seen since I've been living in Hanoi is unnecessarily higher than
I'd like it to be.</span><br />

It happens everyday; taxi drivers stopped by the road, facing a fence, creating
a puddle for all to see. Joggers during their evening run, with no time to
lose. A<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Xe Om<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>driver, ducking behind his
strategically parked bike. A street vendor, with nowhere else to go, or parents
who don't have a worry in the world about showing the whole city their exposed
children.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: serif , serif; font-size: 18pt;">It can cause some damage, certainly.
So maybe the taxi drivers are not to blame, when their job is to be out all day
and there is a severe lack of well maintained public restrooms around Hanoi.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

But perhaps instead of fining people for urinating in public - people who are
out in public all day for their jobs - perhaps Hanoi should start
implementing more public toilets!</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">For those of you who don't know me, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Millie and I moved to Hanoi 2 years ago. I fell in love with this city and shortly after, fell in love with the man of my dreams, my now fiancé.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I enjoy coffee, wine, books, reading, writing, friends, designing, and generally complaining. In my spare time I like to go for coffee with friends, and pretend I can do art.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Welcome to my blog (again). Hopefully this time I can keep it going! I'll be posting every 2nd, 12th, and 22nd.</span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think it’s important to reflect on ourselves often, and I’ve been doing this personally for a few months now, but I decided to post it on my blog and hope that others take a chance to reflect on their lives also. We should always work toward bettering ourselves, and this is one simple way to look back on the last few weeks, see what we have done, and what we want to do next month.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I took this photo at a cover class I had recently. This month I lucked out with work again. I thought I'd be gaining about 8 hours a week which would've been amazing, but I ended up losing a class. I did recently join with a new english centre and have been getting cover classes though. I'm not struggling for money, but I so do long for some solid work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first thing you do when you wake up, and the last thing you do before you lay your head down, should be writing a to do list. Whether it's on your phone or computer, or you like to stick to good old paper and pen (me), writing down a to-do-list is a vital part of your day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Writing a to-do list at night time, will allow you to rest easy, knowing that in the morning, your list will be there for you. When you wake up, revisit that list, add to it, revise it, write down as much or as little as you need.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's such an easy thing to do, and it can take out so much stress out of your week. Knowing what you're going to eat for lunch/diner today or tomorrow can help you save money and time going 'uhhh what should we eat?'. An alternative to this is keeping a running list (I keep mine in my planner) of places you like to eat/meals you like to cook, etc. That way when it comes time to decide what to have for a meal, instead of blanking out, you can choose from that list.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Firstly, what is your (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) take home pay? If it isn't the same each month then write down what you think should be the minimum you take home each pay day (this helps you to set a goal as well). From that, break it down into the things you <i>have</i> to spend (bills, food, etc), and things that you <i>want</i> to spend (cigarettes, alcohol, entertainment). Keep track of how much you spend on each thing each month, and don't go over your budget limit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I start work at 8:30am I set my alarm for 7am, get up and fill the kettle and put it on to boil, put my coffee in the cup, and chuck on the clothes that I set out the night before (do that too). Then I sit down and open my computer to check my emails, my social media, and check my planner for my daily to-do list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before you get in bed, after you've gone over today's to do list and written tomorrows, get out any clothes that you are going to wear the next day. No need to think about what to wear in the morning, do it before bed! Pack your bag with your water bottle, books, pens, meds, wallet, and anything else you need to remember. This saves so much time in the morning, and has stopped me forgetting simple things so many times.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There's two reasons that people don't reach goals. One, they don't have their mind set to it, and two, they are aiming way too high. It'd be really easy for me to say 'Okay, by the end of the month, I'm going to be able to run a marathon'.

Come away from it, put on some relaxing music and close your eyes. Remind yourself what you are doing and why you are doing it. Write down what you need to do in baby steps. Then come back to it when you are ready. Life never gives you more than you can handle.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: center;">I’m a sucker for organisation hacks, and in a city as crazy as Hanoi, with my schedule constantly changing, I was really starting to fall behind and lose motivation without any sort of planner in reach.</span><br /><br />Most planners that are on the market currently are very structured, and leave little room for creativity. I needed something that I could plan/take notes/gather my thoughts/ and do art in.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Drawing from inspiration from <a href="https://www.erincondren.com/" target="_blank"><b>Erin Condron</b></a>, and the <a href="http://bulletjournal.com/" target="_blank"><b>Bullet Journal </b></a>concept, I decided to create my own personalised planner. This way, I choose the layout, the format, the style, colours, everything!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Erin Condron planner looked great, but I wanted something even more me, and even more customisable. The bullet journal is closer to the one I have now, but the one I use is 100% me.</span></div>

<div style="color: #5b5b5b;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've been using this system for nearly 8 months now, and I can see it being a long-term solution to my organisation problems. I have seen myself meeting more deadlines and getting more done in my day.</span></div>
<div style="color: #5b5b5b;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #5b5b5b;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My whole 'goal planning' scheme has made me be much more productive throughout my day and keeps me on task. I've added new systems, pages, and designs, that I'm going to talk about in a little bit.</span></div>
<div style="color: #5b5b5b;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "exo" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For Christmas I received a <b><a href="https://www.leuchtturm1917.us/notebooks/" target="_blank">Leuchtturm1917</a></b> dotted notebook. which I was very excited about as that's the official notebook recommended for the <b><a href="https://store.bulletjournal.com/" target="_blank">Bullet Journal</a></b> system.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "exo" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "exo" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started off a bit floppy, but after a few tries, I got it down pat. There's great videos on YouTube that show you some great ways to design your Bullet Journal, as well as reminding you that your Bullet Journal is unique to you, and there's no right or wrong way to it.</span></span></span><br />

<b>1) You drive a motorbike with your hips and stomach, not with your arms and hands.</b></h3>
</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
When you are constantly swerving in traffic to avoid cars, taxi's, other motorbikes, cyclists, potholes, lumps of road on top of the road, bags of rubbish, and pedestrians all in the one strip, it's great to know how to handle a motorbike. It took me a while to learn that the hands are there less to steer, and more for balance, which is something I am getting very good at!</div>

<h3>
<b>2) Don't get on the motorbike to drive when you need the bathroom.</b></h3>
<br />
There's nothing worse than driving down bumpy, bumpy roads on a motorbike when you really really need to pee. Believe me.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<h3>
<b>3) Life is precious - and it can be taken away in a second.</b></h3>
<b><br /></b>
I am lucky that the stories I can tell you about death in this country aren't nearly as graphic as the stories some of my friends could tell you. I have seen people very injured, called ambulances for drunk motorists at stupid times of the morning, and I have seen people near death. I have seen people looking at the dead, but avoided it with my own eyes.<br />
<br />
I myself have had a few close calls on these roads, maybe not to death, but certainly to a very bad place. And as much as it is a terrifying thought that our lives can be taken away any moment, I believe that my time is not near, but that I should take every second in this life as a gift, and I truly do treasure every day as if it was my last.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<h3>
<b>4) People are always temporary.</b></h3>
<br />
This is one I have been struggling with for longer than my time in Hanoi its self. The thought that every single person in our lives, no matter how important they are to us or how strong our relationships are, is temporary. It's a scary thought. But it's another thought that helps me to not take people for granted. To tell the people I love that I love them every day, and to cherish every moment you have with people - or alone because you never know when it could be your last.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<h3>
<b>5) You can be happy with less.</b></h3>
<b><br /></b>
In fact, I would go as far as to say you can actually be <em>happier </em>with less. I see people on the street with nothing but their family and love in their hearts. I see them selling their creations, made with a few ingredients or materials, to the people who walk buy. And they are happy. The average wage for an adult here is $150USD a MONTH. With many more earning a lot less, especially UNI students. But do any of them complain? No they don't. No one is missing meals, most have their family to live with and feed them, they still catch up with their friends, they truly enjoy their lives as they are, they don't cry when they don't get expensive gifts, or when something doesn't go their way. It's truly inspiring.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<h3>
<b>6) Road rage doesn't have to be a thing.</b></h3>
<b><br /></b>

<br />
I don't know what it is, or how it works here but the traffic really is something else. Cars and motorbikes ducking and diving between each other, often cutting off other motorists or getting too close for comfort - yet no one seems to be phased. Very rarely do I see a display of rage on these roads. I wish more places were like this.</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<h3>
<b>7) Always leave early. Because you will get stuck in traffic.</b></h3>
<b><br /></b>
I live less than 10km away from where I work. Same distance as I was used to in Australia. Time of travel in Australia - 10-15 minutes. Time of travel in Ha Noi - 20-90 minutes. Depending on what time you leave, and what exact route you take, travel times can change immeasurably. Always leave early, and always expect to get lost or stuck in traffic and you should have no problem!</div>
<div style="color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">

<b>8) Things will get done in their own time.</b></h3>

<br />
Here is a photo of me doing my dishes. In the shower. One of the great things about Hanoi life is people never really expect you to do things on time. This is a great thing to remember when there is something wrong with your apartment. No matter how many times you tell your landlady or landlord that, for instance, your kitchen tap wont let out any water, they keep saying 'yes today or tomorrow someone will come to fix it'. Well, after several 'today or tomorrow's' I decided enough was enough and my dishes needed to be cleaned somehow!</div>

<h3>
<b>9) Sometimes you will have to compromise</b></h3>
<br />
This goes with number 7 also. Sometimes things just wont go the way they're supposed to. This used to make me angry, upset, and emotional. But I've learned to go with the flow and that there is always an alternate way to do things.</div>

This should go without saying, and even still I was warned about this. But did I listen? Definitely not. Because I wanted a rabbit and I wanted fish. I was told that they would be sick and would die within a week. I did not listen. It was an emotional day the day I had to say goodbye to my poor bunny :(</div>

I can't do anything but wait because I can't explain to anyone that I'm waiting for a friend. This is not a rare occurrence and has actually happened every single time I have made plans with my Vietnamese friends. Countless times I have been alone in clubs, bars, coffee shops, restaurants etc waiting for my friends because they are LATE. Yet I still don't learn my lesson to turn up late.</div>

We've heard it a million times, people all too often go through life without noticing anything. Without stopping and breathing in the beauty of where they are. Without exploring and admiring. I've learned in Vietnam that amazing things can come from bad situations, strong people are built from weakness, community was built here from war, and there is always a place for beauty. War torn streets are filled with flowers and laughs, children play under the supervision of their all loving parents, happy to be living in peace, education is at it's height with so many opportunities in sight for young people still learning. Beauty is everywhere, you don't even need to look hard to find it.<br />

Throughout the last year I have been exploring my writing more. I have started a blog and (only recently) have been posting regularly on it. I did a <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.millieburns.com/2016/10/storytelling-workshop.html">storytelling workshop</a>.</strong> And most recently, while asking around for places to help me improve my writing, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to start writing for a magazine.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "Exo 2", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://wordhanoi.com/">Word Magazine</a> is a magazine written completely in English, in Vietnam. I was referred to the magazine by someone else who works there, and after chatting with the director through e-mail, I was given a chance to submit a sample article of mine, being a café review.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "Exo 2", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Easy, I thought. I was wrong. Boy was I wrong. I started writing the review in the style in which I usually write in, the style I am used to and I am comfortable with, it was going well. When I asked for advice from the other guy who writes for them, he linked me to a document written <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">by</em> word <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">for</em> its writers. I went straight to the section about the café/restaurant reviews and was overwhelmed by the instructions and the outline that they expected, as it was NOTHING like what I am used to writing.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "Exo 2", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I have been trying really hard to ‘just say yes’ lately and to accept a challenge. All too often I will start something and never carry it through. Or I’ll think of something I want to do and never take any action towards that.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">So just as I was thinking to myself that I need to email this guy back and tell him I can’t do it, I thought to myself… why? Why can’t I do it. What’s the harm in trying. The absolute worst thing that can happen, is I submit my sample article to him, and he says he hates it and it doesn’t go with the style of the magazine. <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">At least I can say I tried</em>. And who knows, if I try and this succeeds, then I actually get to say that I had my own work published in magazine in South East Asia. And this could lead to many more doors opening for me, and many more opportunities presenting themselves.</span><br />

<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He remembers peeking over the wall as a child. Sticking his feet where the loosened rocks enabled him to climb its heights. Nothing but his wooden flute and a notebook in his hand, to gaze at the wander that was the castles surrounding gardens. This is where he came to write. About his thoughts, his fears, his dreams, his hopes, his visuals, his troubles, everything. Not with words, but with music.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Today was the day of his 20th birthday. He still had the flute he used as a small, scruffy boy. He made it himself, you know, at just 15 years old. He came back to the wall on this day, as he had not done in so long, flute and notebook in hand. He stepped his now strong feet in the walls large gaps and hauled himself up the tangled ivy vines. When he reached the top, he wiped away a sheen of sweat from his brow, tucking his long hair behind his ears.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The beauty of the castle gardens had yet to change. In fact, he swear they had gotten even better.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The vibrant colours hit his eyes like a blind man seeing for the first time. The garden, a most spectacular array of colours. A multitude of greens, surrounding, but not smothering the clusters of flowers scattered through the landscape.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Bright yellow poppies, crisp blue daisies, and deep red gerberas. And in the midst of it all, a pond. But only the most beautiful pond he’s ever seen in his life. The water; the clearest water you’ve ever seen. Fish swimming in the shallows, possibly koi fish, although he was too far from the pond, on top of that wall, to be sure.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He pulled out his flute and made it sing the song of of the earth. He sung the notes that the world gave him, the vibrations, the energy, what he saw he wrote. He let the music take him away, he flew when he wrote music. Like he was in another land.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It wasn’t long until he saw the princess, the most beautiful princess he’s ever seen, sitting by the pond. She hadn’t seemed to notice him, but he made it his duty to be noticed. After what seemed like hours of playing his music, the pauper went home to his small village, thinking about what he could possibly do to get her attention tomorrow.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He decided that as he had nothing to offer the princess but his beautiful music, that he would continue coming to the wall each day and playing until the day she noticed him.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hours, turned to days, turned into weeks of him sitting on the old wall playing. It was the first time in his life he had felt like he has a purpose. His parents, ever wandering where he was off to all day, were amazed that he was able to do all his chores over night. Boy, must he be tired.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It was one year later, one full 365 days, when on his 21st birthday, the pauper climbed the height of the rickety old wall one last time. He put his feet in between the loose stones that he had grown to know so well, he held the ivy in his hands to help hoist himself up, and when he finally reached the top, he was disheartened to see the princess was not there. With a heavy heart he perched on the wall, he said out loud ‘what ever will I do now’. He was startled when a voice replied ‘What’s wrong boy?’</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It was the most beautiful voice he had heard in his lifetime, he looked down towards the voice to see the princess standing there.<br />
‘Oh princess it is you. You have finally noticed me. I have been playing for a whole year to you my beautiful music in hopes that you would notice me and we could finally meet.’</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
She replied ‘I have been hearing you, dear boy, your music that sings to me every day has filled me with so much joy, I am happy to finally meet you’</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: inherit; font-size: 18px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And so, the pauper met the princess and the princess met the pauper, and what happened next is for another story.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">So since trying to write more frequently on the blog, and taking up new challenges to steer my career in a different direction, I have been looking around Hanoi for a writing workshop, or class, to improve my writing skills and at the same time, motivate and inspire me to write more.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">I have a friend at work who commented on a past blog and said that she was really enjoying my blogs (shoutout if you’re reading this, you know who you are) and I told her that I was looking for a short course or workshop for writers in Hanoi. She referred me to Knowmads Hanoi, who were running a workshop on storytelling starting from the next week! I immediately signed up and was keen and ready to go the next week when the workshop started!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The first workshop date we learned about different ways to tell stories, and a little bit about the tools to use to tell a good story. I immediately knew that this class would be a struggle for me, and not be my forte, when we were asked to partner up and tell a story – any story – and I froze. Turns out I am reeeeallly not good at thinking of things on the spot.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />I remember a time back in grade 6 in my little Traralgon primary school uniform, being asked to come to the front of the class and present something with no preparation. To just get up and talk about a topic for 2 minutes. Wow was the class when Millie Burns, the most talkative, person they knew, could not get up and talk to the class for 2 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "Exo 2", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So I immediately learned that while <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">yes, </em><em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I am a talker, </em>when put on the spot I immediately freeze. I mean, I sort of always knew it, but I never really knew how bad it was.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">This realisation of how shitty I am at coming up with things on the spot, and following prompts, became even more evident in the second workshop day. We were told a story, it was about 10 minutes long. And at the end we learned some more tools to use for telling a story. One of them was to “zoom in” which is used to create the finer details of a scene in a story. So after being told this story, we were asked to pick one scene from the story and re-define it’s details.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">I started doing this, but as I was writing, inspiration hit me, and suddenly I was not only describing a scene from another persons story, but I was creating my own story. I had heaps of fun writing it and got so carried away with it I didn’t realise when everyone else was finished and the timer had sounded.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "exo 2" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">I have been working for Wallaby House English Centre for a few months now and by far they are the best English centre I’ve ever worked for.</span><br />
<div style="border: 0px; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: "Exo 2", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: white;">I recently picked up a new class and was prepared to take on a challenge because I was warned about this one student who was particularly hard to deal with. I was told from other teachers at the centre that this particular student is disruptive, aggressive, has a low attention span, and is hard to control.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Now; throughout my teacher training, and from experience, I have learned the importance of teaching each student differently, that each student is different, and each student learns in a different way. It was only when I consciously applied this knowledge to the particular child that I began to </span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">really </em><span style="background-color: white;">see just how much teaching really </span><em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">can </em><span style="background-color: white;">make a difference.

<span style="background-color: white;">Before this student in case, I had known about the different ways that people learn and I had used that knowledge in my classroom when thinking about positive reinforcement, punishment, students needing to be active, or not wanting to play games at all, homework, etc. But I never really put <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">that </em>much thought into it, it’s a pretty natural thing to me.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">So when I had a ‘difficult kid’ in my young teenagers class, I was terrified. As a young woman teacher, and not a very dominant person in the best of situations, I find it very hard to control a rowdy classroom. Especially when young, strong-headed boys are involved. So I decided off the bat to take a different approach to teaching this student and I have seen results instantly.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">In the beginning, the student was very aggressive. He would start fights over nothing that would escalate and get physical way too fast. On top of this, he was continuously disrupting the class and distracting the other students from doing their work. He was getting very low grades, and not passing many subjects, although his English is actually very good, he could not concentrate on the topics in class so when we had a test, he didn’t know what we were doing.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">We have a system at the school where when you are naughty, you are told to leave the classroom for 5 minutes. It is used as a punishment. However, I took this student aside and said to him ‘when you feel too angry, and you know you are going to get in a fight, ask me if you may go outside for a minute to cool down’. I let him know that this is not a punishment, that he will be in no trouble for leaving if he asks first.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">I thought this would become a normal thing in the classroom for us, but after just a few lessons, he had learned that it’s easier to take a breath and cool down before retaliating than to get into a fight and get in trouble. I <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">cant</strong> explain to you how good it feels to have made such progress with this student.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The biggest thing I have seen is his <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">actual</em> learning progress. This student has gone from failing and not caring about tests and results, to being the ONLY student to get <strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><u>100%</u></strong><u></u> on the class test!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">I started paying more attention to this students work progress and attention in class, and keeping him on track when he needed it. Through positive reinforcement, I made the student <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">want</em> to do the work because every time he would do more and more work, I would tell him how great it was and that I was proud of him.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">I have gone from seeing a naughty child, who was a nuisance in my classroom, making it harder for me to teach, and for my students to learn, to a beautiful child who gets 100% on the tests and <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">almost</em> always pays attention in class. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not perfect, but I will take credit for the progress we have made so far!</span></div>
