In the old quarter in Hanoi (about a 10 minute drive from our apartment) is a lake called Hoan Kiem Lake. We have many photos of our family around this lake. There is an interesting history told about this lake. you can find some information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho%C3%A0n_Ki%E1%BA%BFm_Lake Your task is to read the story and either type your version of events below or cut and paste the story from another website. If you do use the story from another website, please make sure to include the web address to give credit to the person that wrote it.

Natalie, you have learned a lot about Canada's indigenous people- the Inuit, the Metis and First Nations (treaty First Nations and non treaty First Nations). Many countries have their own indigenous people. In Vietnam there are 56 distinct Groups of Ethnic minorities. The ethnic minority you belong to is: Tay. Piper belongs to the Nung ethnic minority. These two groups are closely related. They are part of a larger group that includes some people from China. Together this large group is called the Zhuang People. Ong and Ba have told us that you have ancestors in China. A couple of reasons this might be: 1) people might meet someone in a village across the border in China, marry them and move there; or becasue 2) the china/Vietnam border has moved a number of times over many years. Maybe the place your Chinese ancestors are from was once part of Vietnam. Here is some information about your ethnic group. https://www.vietvisiontravel.com/post/tay-ethnic-group/ ht...

NATALIE: In Vietnam the currency is in Dong. There are many zero's in the currency. This is your challenge... 1) Convert each bill from Dong to CAD 500,000 dong $ 30.00 200,000 dong $12.00 100,000 dong $ 6.00 50,000 dong $ 3.00 20,000 dong $ 1.20 10,000 dong 60 cents 5,000 dong 30 cents 2,000 dong 12 cents 1,000 dong 6 cents 500 dong 3 cents 2) We have kept all of the grocery receipts, please tally all of the receipts and convert into CAD. The amount in Canadian is $495.95856 3) If we usually spend $300 per week on groceries, wine, beer, household items at home, do our groceries cost more here or less? Why do you think this is the case? I think we have spent less because $ 150 a week we have been here a month $ 495 is less than $600 .

NATALIE: We are lucky to have a supermarket in the building. This is the flyer that expires later this month. Your challenge is: 1) pick 4 things that you are not familiar with (look at the veggies) 2) how much is each item in CAD? 3) see if you can use google translate to see what each is. 4) pick one thing, ask for some money and go purchase it. We can all try it. ************************************************************************************************************************** 1 Su su = chayote Oi Viet Nam = oh viet Nam Bau =vote Quyt duong = tangerine sugar 2 Sadly the flyer did not have the the prices for the veggies. 4 today in the grocery store I was looking in the veggie section when I saw Su su we bought one for the family to try.

NATALIE: We are preparing a traditional Canadian brunch. Our friends will be joining us. The challenge is that some of the required ingredients are not available. So we improvise. The menu... French toast with yogurt and fruit Scrambelled eggs Hash brown potato Sausage patties....but there is no sausage here. Black tea If I buy ground pork, I can add spices let sit overnight and fry them in the morning. Please tell me what spices are in this spice mix by using google translate. ************************************************************************************************************************** Natalie's answers are Tiêu nghê: pepper Quế:cinnamon Nhục đậu khấu:nutmeg Hạt mùi :coriander seeds Hành:onions I think the sausage patties will work out and taste delicious 😋!!!!!!

1. Explain what we did We counted how many steps it took to get around the building then we measured our stride length to see how many times around the building made a km. 2. What is stride length? Stride length is the length between your toes or your heels when you walk .Or in other words the length between your footsteps when you walk. 3. How did we figure out stride length with out a ruler? Well my mom asked for a piece of paper because she knew the length and she used that knowledge to create a ruler and we all took turns walking and the other 2 put tape down on the place where they would use after. After that we used multiplication to figure out the answer. We figured out that 4 laps around the building =1 km. 4. What information did we use that we already knew The information we used was that we made a ruler out of a piece of paper and we measured the floorboards and then we multiplied that number with 39370.1 (the number of inches in 1km) and we got our...

The trip took forever, about fifteen hours total! Flight one was about twenty-five minutes to the Vancouver airport. Where we took a taxi downtown to get our visas. Only my mom got out of the car , then the driver took us back to the airport. After and only after we went through security did my mom realize that her phone was missing. I know crazy right? Thankfully it was in the taxi and the driver was still at the airport. So my mom ran to go get her phone back and this was about eleven o'clock at night. Meanwhile me and my dad went on a search for dinner there was an A&W a subway Japanese food.Then there was this river of silver, (coins)and a really cool aquatic sea tank filled to the brim with sea life.
