Hello! We are the McClain family and this blog is the way that we document all of our incredible adventures. In 2016 we moved to Singapore and ever since then, we've gone on various adventures. We've gone to Thailand, Vietnam, South Africa, Cambodia, and more are coming. This blog was made to share these experiences with others so they can know how other countries really are.

The Snake Scarfer

So, walking on the streets of Siem Reap in Cambodia, my father encountered a boy selling snakes, spiders, and scorpions as snacks. These delicacies were cooked but still were chilling to look at. My dad didn't think that the boy selling the creepy crawlers and slithers had the guts to eat one, so he dared the boy. The boy said he would eat one if he was paid one dollar. My father agreed to the bet. In less than three seconds, the boy then scarfed down a snake. My dad was shocked and disgusted but paid the dollar. The boy had to get his money.

Market Lady

So, In Vietnam, we were walking to the market for a cooking class. We had made some banana leaf salad and corn soup. We enter the market and there are fish heads, dead frogs, millworms, and the smell just hits you walking in. A lady chopping a chicken heart looked at my dad and yelled, "I hate you!" We were pretty confused. Then she said, "I love you!"Which was also pretty confusing. We paused, looked at the tour guide, and the tour guide asked, "You go with her now?" in a serious manner. We laughed at the occasion,  but I started to think. In Vietnam, if you say I love you to somebody, do you just go with them and leave your family for a stranger? I don't know. The occasion was hilarious though.
