Our VDS charity gig money goes to the students. The other charity gig for Bishop Hoan goes to the men and the pigs. lol They do a lot of work w/ helping the poor. |

| I used to hate these things, especially when they fell into my bed. Yuck! |
| tledc wrote on Jul 26, '08 Almost didn't even recognize the kitchen. Thong (Sis C's cousin) did a great job fixing up the house. It's so clean and functional now, after many many years abandonment. |
| tledc wrote on Jul 26, '08 Great picture, Hương. Thanks! I like it too. That was Tien, the lady who has the drink vending in front of house. Di Hai lets her stay to do some business, in return she cooks and wash for her. She's very nice but shy and won't let me take a picture of her. |
Comment deleted at the request of the author. | tledc wrote on Jul 26, '08 Normally only 2-3 people stay here. This week was special :) b/c we were there so everyone wants to come up to greet us. It was also exam season for the girl students, so the guys came up from Phan Thiet (4 hours) to take them to school since they can't drive yet and wait to take them back to boarding house in Binh Trieu. |

 | Did you go to Ha Noi too, QH??? |
| tledc wrote on Jul 27, '08, edited on Jul 27, '08 Did you go to Ha Noi too, QH??? Yes, I took a 1-week tour to Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay, Tam Co^'c, Phat Diem church...then ended tour in Hanoi. Hired a van to take us in from Hanoi to Nghe^. An to distribute sandals and bicycles, on to Hue, Hoi An, Tam Dinh (not sure about name), Danang. Take plane from Danang to SG. |
 | Wow - such site hit with network access congestion. Great deeds! Please keep up. Will support. Thanks. |
| tledc wrote on Jul 27, '08 Thanks LC! Being among the people is FANTASTIC!
I get to know Sis C more and she's truly amazing with all the work she's done for the poor - she and Bishop Hoan's community (remember that one charity gig we played for?)
Her orig plan was to come back this Christmas but the long trips (twice a year) wear her out, plus it really depends on how much money she'll raise. |

| Thanks QH đã post hình lên. Những cảnh vật này thật sự gây nên một nổi xúc động không nhỏ cho anh. Đả lâu lắm rồi, gần 30 năm chưa về thăm lại VN. Chưa bao giờ đặt chân lên những vùng quê hương này, chưa bao giờ thật sự thấu hiểu được đời sống bình dị, mộc mạc của dân mình tại đây.
Hy vọng sẽ có dịp về thăm VN một ngày thật gần đây. |

Too funny, I couldn't help but sang THE same song when I was up there!! Most appropriate. The clouds roll in pretty low. To the right, you can see Ha`m Ro^`ng (Dragon's Jaw) mountain. See the jaw sticks out? I climbed very close to there and stood in the clouds.

| tledc wrote on Jul 28, '08 Interesting! Did you have some? :o) Nooo....I didn't see any of them running around in the wild either. I did have some Mountain Goat (De^ Nu'i) though. In Binh Trieu, they have crocodile farm (tra.i ca' sa^'u)...they raise for food. Cha? Gio` Ca' Sa^'u. |
