Day 12

Today was our last day in Vietnam. We went to UEF and still had culture class and language class. Culture class was about more customs and religious beliefs in Vietnam. Language class we reviewed and then had two oral tests, one was a group presentation asking each other questions that we learned and the second was introducing ourselves. After classes and lunch we had a good bye ceremony and activity time. The UEF English Club set up a lot of fun and interesting games to play so we could get to know one another. Then we all just hung out and said goodbye to all our friends. After we went to a soccer field and played a game against the UEF team, nothing competitive it was just a fun game to play with the team and some friends.

At night we had a farewell dinner at a resort in Ho Chi Minh City, it was delicious and a very pretty setting. All the professors who had helped us in Vietnam throughout our stay came to dinner with us so we could say goodbye to all of them. After, all the Pitt students went to Lush for the last time.

I am sad to leave Vietnam because I made so many great friends here but it will be nice to go home. I am so happy to have had this opportunity, it greatly expanded my knowledge on many levels and definitely added to my creativity when thinking on a professional level.

  1. Dear Maia,
    So happy to know that you've just come back from Vietnam. I'm Hoang Yen from Hanoi, Vietnam and I'm going to University of Pittsburgh on the next Thursday, so would you mind if I ask you some question about living and going in Pittsburgh?
    THank you very much for your help and hope you have a good day.

    Hoang Yen
