One of the best parts of this trip has been spending time with my friends, many of whom I don’t see often. It’s interesting to realize that I’m the hub—everyone knew me before the trip, but they didn’t know each other. I’ve been so happy to see how well the whole group gets along. It’s a thousand times easier than the student trips!
We are in Hoi An which is a UNESCO world Heritage city with Chinese roots. I loved poking into the little boutique shops. Many of my friends had clothing and shoes custom made. The town is famous for this.
The thing about In EF trip is that you get to do so many different kinds of things. And the travel company tries to connect you with authentic experiences. While our clothes were being made, we visited a Rice farm. Only a decade ago many people are still using water buffaloes to plow the fields. Now they have machinery at this farmer, let us try the traditional methods of farming.
Before our cooking class, we took a guided tour of the huge colorful market.
From there, we took a beautiful boat ride down the river to the restaurant where we would learn to make Vietnamese food

I had a bunch of clothes made for me when I went to Singapore. Still have and wear most of it. The leather jackets look great. And, of course, the food. Fabulous. I thought the Rajala’s were going to be joining you? ________________________________
