Day 8

After a weekend of day trips, we went back to UEF on Monday morning for a Vietnamese history lesson, followed by another language lesson. Though we have had multiple lessons so far, the language is still very difficult. We ate lunch at the school before traveling to the University of Agriculture and Forestry. We went here to here from lecturers about the goals of the university, as well as to learn more about a subject we had read about before departing. This is the issue of catfish trade wars between Vietnam and the United States. In the afternoon, some members of our group wanted to go shopping and others went to play basketball with some of the UEF students, but pretty much all of us were craving American food. So, a few of us found a Pizza Hut. The food tasted pretty much the same as an American Pizza Hut, but the restaurant was different. It was nicer than many I've been to, and they also served many other items, like calamari and more pasta dishes than usual. We hung out at the hotel that night, and got to meet some Uruguayan students/tourists also staying at the Victory Hotel which was interesting to say the least. Below are a few pictures of the catfish farm/lab at the University of Agriculture and Forestry:
