Since i am not gg to Vietnam this yr, I am gg to write the journal entries now.. It's gonna be late by a year.. haha... And I think I can't remember most of the feelings i had last yr but i am still gg to write the daily itinery of the VN trip.. hee hee..

Transporting myself back to 2004......

Dec 1
In the wee hours of the morning, the UV LIGHTers reached the airport bright and cheery.. Anxious about the trip to VN and they were all excited to see the children there.. Michelle and I were busy with the checking in of the luggages..
Judy was so Excited cuz this is her first time on the plane..
Upon the arrival, we were shocked to see 2 groups of ppl coming to fetch us in the airport.. PPL from the Youth Hotel and translators sent by Ms Van.. Hmm.. After discussion, Mich and I decided to pay the translators and their transport and we will take the transport provided by Youth Hotel (since we know them better)..
On the bus, Anh was entertaining us with his lame jokes and he also introduced us to the history and culture of VN..
Since our translator is from Trekking Travel too, we left all of our luggages in the hotel and we brought them ard the Old Quarters to let them get the daily neccessities.. And of course, how could we forget to let them try the famous rice ice cream??!! hee hee.. Eating ice cream in winter is a unforgetable experience!
At ard evening time, Thanh, our translator for the trip appeared.. Well, haha.. He's cute siah! haha..
We loaded our luggages on the bus and left Youth Hotel to Ba Trai..
The hotel in Ba Trai is fantastic!! It's so beautiful!! Oh my.. The night sky is lined with so many stars.. However, the food there sucks and it's too expensive.. Told Thanh to help us source for better food for the next 12 days.. Which he really did..
Good nite..
