Vietnam 3rd and 4th day

On the third day of our trip, the main highlight is to go to Vam Sat Ecological Zone. The journey from our hotel to the place itself is 2 hours, this include the barge ride that bring us across the river to the other side.



When we reach a place, there is still another boat ride to go to Vam Sat. took precaution, have students wear the life jacket.



we first went to the bat swamp. over here, it's another 10 min sampan ride to see the bats. The students were like, 'not again, another ride after an hour boat ride?' but this is sampan, so students were encouraged to keep their balance and no big movement while on the sampan.



Finally, we took the boat again and another 15 mins boat ride to Vam Sat ecological zone. We had lunch and the chinese students and teachers tried the grilled mudskipper. Should have taken a picture of the mudskipper. It was nice, no muddy taste, tastes just like fish.


After that, the students tried various activities such as crossing bridge, climbing up the tower and crocodile farming.







After that, it was dinner and back to the hotel to do reflection and packing of luaggage. There will be a luggage check at 1030pm.

the last day, we check out at 10am, then it's hitting the wholesale market for more shopping. Well, i couldn't squeeze past the narrow alley without molesting anyone, so in the end, we decided to go and have coffee, vietnamnese coffee. After this, we went for lunch. The last lunch was unique. The restaurant has unique decorations for its dishes.




after lunch, it's going to the cathedral and war remnant musuem. At the cathedral, nothing special, just took some pics of the architectural design. the war remnant museum, it was informative. Sec 3 students were able to detact the propaganda and detect the bias. It was a good learning experience for them and for me too. I feel quizzy after looking at the pictures. At the 'tiger cells', i get this eerie feeling.









then after museum, it's going to the airport time and home sweet home.
