bạn bè mới

Today was long. I went to Phu Sa Island with the French professors kids, two boys, 7 and almost 2. We saw the crocodiles getting fed, and monkeys swinging near our heads.


Then I met up with the rest of the group and we headed off to the middle of the jungle (I'm not kidding). We visited a sustainable family farm. The only way to get there was by boat through a small channel that breaks off of the Mekong River.


After supper, the 2 French students, My Hanh, and I went to the park near our hotel to have coffee with some university students who are studying English. I had a blast! They really wanted to practice English and learn all about myself and my culture. They asked the French students to sing a song in French. The Vietnamese students also sang songs in English that they like. At the end they asked me to sing one in Spanish so I sang a song from camp.


The photo session probably lasted well over half an hour but we were all having a ton of fun :) Too bad there were only 4 of us to talk to them. They were all very nice, and smiled all the time. They even helped me with my pronunciation of Vietnamese words. It was a wonderful experience.
