Vietnam on UniBreak

Xin Chao from UniBreakers in Saigon!



Sorry it's taken so long for me to write you an email but it's been a
hectic 2 weeks since we arrived. I cant believe we are half way
through the placement already. The tours in the first week were
fantastic seeing the war musuem, the history musuem and the
reunification palace. We have had lots of Cyclo rides, visited Ben
Tanh markets, been ripped off at Ben Tanh Markets, and then perfected
our bartering skills at Ben Tanh Markets.

The work at the Orphanage has been great - working with the children
makes us more light hearted than i thought it would. I had expected
that the work would be very difficult and very sad, and while there
has been lots of sadness, like a little baby dying the other day, it
has been great to see we are having such a positive impact on the
children. The lunches are good - Thankyou for fixing the situation
with Lan - We all read the email you sent to Julia. We were worried
our budgets may blow out a bit and so its great to have lunch covered
now.

Last weekend we visited Mui Ne and stayed at a beautiful resort on the
beach. The facilities were excellent but the staff gave us quite a
laugh - They didn't understand , English which made communicating
quite interesting hence we came up with the saying, "good morning
Vietnam" to represent such situations so often experienced.
