We woke up at 7:00am and ate breakfast, which was: egg, toast/bread, jam/butter, mini cakes, tea, coffee, rice rolls, bananas, watermelon, and orange roll ups. Then we went into a car and visited places along the way to Can Tho. Here are the places we went: pottery making, Hyacinth braiding, rice noodles, and tofu skin.
Let's start with pottery making. We figured out that they shaped clay into pots pressing the sides together with a design forming a round pot. Well, it's kinda hard to explain, but it's much harder then it seems. I didn't add all the details but it's like forming a pot out of play-dough.
Next we did Hyacinth braiding. It's like braiding hair but with weeds. They air dry weeds, they braid them and sell them. People buy them because it's a good material for baskets and other things. Next we saw how to make rice noodles. They put rice powder in a machine that somehow formed rice noodles . They did this twice until it was straight, afterwards we got to try one! It was good! There was also a little girl who never seen an American before so she was all over us.
Then we went to to see how they made tofu skins, gross right? Well, it turns out that they take a tofu bean and take out the stuff and mix it up with water. Then they cook it in a big vat and skim off the top layer and hang it up to dry. A lot of ands, it also turns out I'm too lazy to fix it. Oh well! Bye!
Riley,
