... are retired people, who are not used to heat or excursion). One bus was just leaving & they missed it & Bernie literally jumped out in front of the 2nd bus so it would stop. It turned out to be a German group from our ship and the guide could not speak English but understood that they were in distress. By this time Pat was crying & Bernie was dizzy from running in the heat trying to catch the buses ...

Anyway, there was an animated discussion between them and the tailor as they attempted to identify a scapegoat. Mark had made it very clear that the stripes needed to be vertical, and they knew this. Young Thao blamed herself and both she and her mother Nghe were falling over themselves to apologise. The Vietnamese word for “sorry” is “xin loi”, and the next time Mark came in, Nghe greeted him with open arms, saying “very xin loi”. Nghe said she ...

... who we decided had it in for us. We had bargained them right down and then didn’t spend anymore money there on things like the restaurant as it was rather pricey so rather than having lovely friendly staff there like in all the guesthouses in Asia and hostels in the rest of the world we were condemned to their scorn and bad will and even when we booked a taxi with them to Hue to do the Hi Van pass we got the worst taxi I think you could find in Vietnam and then when we were dropped ...

... interesting places! What is more interesting tho is that in the 3 days we were gone, we missed a tyhpoon that gripped Hoi An and surrounding areas depriving them of power and putting their towns underwater.

The destruction we witnesed on the way back up was nothing to be frivilous about but you have to admit, we certainly played our luck of the Irish card on this trip.

This is a movie I made for the Jr. Highers at Montrose Church in Montrose, CA. I used to work at this chruch for about 9 months. These 9 months changed my life forever. The kids, the staff, and parents, the stories, I couldn't get enough of them. They have decided to partner with me and help sponser me while I'm in Da Nang. I'm so excited to see these young kids step up and walk in the plans God has for them.

... Some time had gone by (I forget what happened) and magically the bowl found itself back in his possession again.
The farmer continued to cherish the bowl wishing only for the nourishment his body needed.

After the magic coconut I wandered around the corner of the central market heading for the old town. Actually all of it is the old town. I didn’t get far when I stopped at another street food stand. Here some women were selling little ...

Nachdem ich ein paar Tage in Sydney v**bracht habe, ging es dann endlich nach Bangkok. Wid** **warten wurde ich nicht von dem Taxifahr** v**arscht, d** mich zu meinem Backpack** gebracht hat und sonst hat auch alles **staunlich gut und einfach geklappt. D** Stadtteil in dem ich gewohnt habe (Shukumvit) ist auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen und dort hat es mir auch recht gut gefallen. Ansonsten bin ich mir noch nicht so ganz Sich**, was ich von Bangkok halte ...

... some travelers I met did. After meeting friendly Vietnamese after friendly Vietnamese, I might have a biased opinion, but now I understand their culture and have never felt more welcomed in a country. In fact, I didn't know that so many Vietnamese actually love Americans...
