Hello from Vietnam! I hope the weather's holding up at home and getting a little warmer - I'm going through a weather exchange myself. We got to Vietnam two days ago in the evening and it is wonderfully cool here compared to Chiang Mai (65-75 degrees versus the uppers 90's). It's also drizzled and sprinkled while we've been here, something almost foreign to Thailand during the 'winter' season. We also had a fantabulous greeting from Ha, a teacher from ULIS (our university here), at the airport along with her mom to take us to our hotel. They were very hospitable, and he's coming to take us out tonight as well! When we first arrived at the hotel we also had volunteers waiting who had already checked us into our rooms! They gave us a full schedule of the next few weeks and are super sweet - and their English is fantastic! Just a short update for now, and more to come later! ~Abby P.S. Facebook is blocked here!
