Vietnam is a very big country, due to that, the bus ride to any part of it is always very long. The best way of passing time while in a bus would be to sleep.




Of course we did some sight seeing, of which the one that left biggest impression in me would be the Cu Chi tunnel. This was because of two reasons, one would be that it was really fun to be crammed inside one small tunnel and facing the danger of having carbon dioxide poisoning and the second reason would be that we did not see much of the other sights as our main job there would be for C.I.P.

We visited a school, Bui Thi Xuan Secondary School, by sacrificing another sight, we spent the whole morning there. The students and teachers there were all very friendly although there are some student which showed us hand signs out of a window. We sent our very handsome Dave and Jana to give a speech to them.

Well of course there is two other C.I.P. one of which would be to build a fence around some houses and the other was to entertain some orphans. While we were building the fence around the houses, it was drizziling, causing the sticks to be unable to be in firm ground. In my opinion, I think that the people would have to redo the whole fence as we did not do it properly. The other C.I.P would be to entertain the orphans. Reynold played rugby with them and he actually lost. As he was running one of the kids tackled him and he fell to the ground. The kids were very happy, especially when we were making balloon animals for them. Wilfred made a dog followed by a sword and I was amazed as he did not learn it before. I asked him how did he know how to make them and he said, " It's all the basics, you only need to know how to make one, you'll know how to make all of them". I learned how to make some amazing things from him. The kids were swinging the balloon swords around attacking each other like a scene from Starwars.

Time flies very fast and vefore you know it, it was time to go home. Most of us were quite relieved as most of us were sick. Of course there was some who was sad to leave. Vietnam is a great place and I will go back there some other time, where I am sure that I will enjoy Vietnam much more and I will also be able to see the true beauty of Vietnam.
