The trip so far has been amazing, will be sad to go home....it's going to be really difficult to explain to everyone back home what we have been through. So many emotions involved and hard to put into words.

I have met some really fantastic people all with a different story as to why they are here but all very worthwhile causes.

I have had ups and downs on the trip with the best yet to come.

So far I have been chased by a dog, challenged on the road by a karate dancing kid, had stones thrown at me and been sprayed by water guns, but it's been a great experience. I truly will have some great memories from my trip to Vietnam.

It seems strange having to think about work again soon, cause this has been so surreal, and I definitely want to do something similar again!!!

Forgot to mention at the start of the blog, there are 24 of us in the group, plus our helpers; loc, jin and mr chung, plus the bus drivers and water truck drivers, plus James the organiser, Helen who also assists and dr bill.

Within the group, we have groups and individuals, everyone has been affected by something sad. Couple of girls have lost their husbands to cancer, couple lost parents, and some recovering from illnesses themselves. It is very inspiring.
