Vietnam's cuisine

Many people here in the U.S. know about Pho, I am so proud! But Vietnamese cuisine is so much more than noodle soup. In Vietnam, street food is the best I think! They are the most tasty food that you will ever have and at a shocking cheap price too!
Check out a preview here:

Washington DC

Since I am in the United States, I have to visit its capital (although I heard there was not much to see lol). Anyways, I was there! Washington DC has a nice, calm weather even in January.
Fun fact, no building in DC can be taller than the Washington Monument! Oh that's why there's no sky crappers in downtown DC.

Chicago here I comeeeeee

I came to Chicago last November, and I think it was even colder than Minneapolis!! The winds were strong although it was quite sunny. Michigan Avenue was so charming! I could spend all day walking along Michigan and visit shops. And have you tried Wow Bao? I was surprised that these Asian buns were sold in almost every corner of Chicago and it was actually very popular, of course, because they taste so goooood!
Once in Chicago, one can never miss Millennium Park!  And the giant bean LOL! Like a legit tourist, I was eagerly take countless pictures with the bean, you can check out some of my picture below!

Minneapolis

Once the snow cleared, Minneapolis started to grow green and colorful. Cherry Blossoms in white, pink, and red are everywhere. It is true Minneapolis is one of the greenest city in the world. Late spring, Minneapolis is painted with a peaceful leafy green and textured by cool breeze.
I had revisited downtown Minneapolis, walking from the train station down to the Minnesota Orchestra Hall. It was beautiful! Lots of people were walking on the street, now it looks more like a busy America that I often saw in movies (I think they were filmed in NYC though). Restaurant patios are packed with customers who wish to dine out, I mean who doesn't in this lovely weather!
Check out some of my pictures from my Twin Cities trip!

Welcome to Snow, snow, snow and lots of SNOW!!!!

From a tropical country, I was sure taken aback by America, or is it just Minnesota?!?! 

When my plane to Msp-St Paul International Airport ( does it have a fancy name? like "Deadhorse airport"?) was about to land, looking through my little window, I see fields of WHITE! Given I have never seen snow before, the word "snow" was not even in my dictionary. So I was frantic, my mind was screaming "What is that??!? What's so white?!?!". Then I came to the most boring answer that Minnesota was probably a huge salt field. 

I was super excited to find out what I saw on the plane was actually Snow, but I was so disappointed to touch it for the first time. I thought it would feel like cotton but nahh, it was all soggy and some were very Brown!
