Just a Quick Picture Update on the Past Week

Sunday and Monday Adventures

Janell and Aletta had us over to their house for lunch after fellowship. We had delicious pesto pasta! Monday we went back to District 1 to have lunch with Janell. I decided to be a tourist and take a picture of Vietnam's version of Notre Dame

Getting a haircuts is a lot more interesting and frightening when you have to play charades to communicate what you want...but they turned out well

Tuesday through Thursday

Around town...and my new bedsheets!
I am determined to by a floppy hat but 150,000VND seems a little pricey
It still amazes me how they carry things on their motorbikes...like 100 chairs! The wording also stills gets me...who wants to take a trip to the Beayuty Salon?

Bonding with the locals. Carolyn played with the little boy in the binky as we had coffee at one of our usual spots. We also showed we live here by going on a shopping spree at the Metro where we bought 20 rolls or toilet paper and cereal!

We came back last night from class to find one of our security guards in the tree. They were picking fruit which, to me, tasted like floral soap....ick. But they insisted we have more. Even though we walk pass them every night and attempt to talk to them, I have never felt like we really bonded until last night. We had a fun time laughing as they took their turns in the tree and taught us how to eat the fruit...don't eat the pit though because apparently you will poop it out whole....or at least that's what it looked like from the charades one of them acted out
