Day 13,

We woke up and hade breakfast, but there was no need in the end because our cooking classes put our pancakes to shame! The Morning Glory cooking school first took us out to the markets to grab fresh ingredients. I dont think there is anything more strange than an asian food market.. there was every kind of vegetable, herb, fish, noodle, rice, fruit you could think of, even skinned frogs!
First we made Cabbage with Prawn Mousse (or some kind of tofu for Jye) Broth. Now, im not too into seafood, but WOW this was good! Turns out it was only the start. We than made Rice Paper Rolls, which were spring rolls with a smaller spring roll inside! We than prepared Chicken with Lemon Grass and other delicious herbs on a skewer which was sent off to be cooked when we had finished. While it was cooking we made Hoi An pancakes which are amazing, they have no flour, no milk and no eggs in them! Just before our skewers were ready, we made a mago salad to go with it. So we had an amazing 5 course meal for lunch!
Next we were off to the Cham Islands to snorkel. It took an hour on a big colourful boat to get out there. Once at our dive spot we put on our flipers and snorkels (we looked so silly) and jumpped in. Soon enough we were swimming amongst colouful fish and strage corals.
Funniest story to tell now, I hand over to Jye to tell it..

That night we had dinner which was nice, but dessert was better! We went to a place we had seen that morning that sold all kinds of treats. Some got pavlova or fruit tarts, some just got whatever had the most chocolate in it..
We than split into two groups, one group returning to the hotel, the other to go pick up their new suites, dresses and shoes.
That night there was a small fashion show, full of colour (honestly you have to see these suits)!
