3/4/2017 4 Comments First impressions...Yesterday was quite a day to remember. After about 24 hours of grueling travels, the team finally touched down in Vietnam's capital, Hanoi. We started off exploring the oriental markets, and allow me to say that from dog to frog they had every one of mother nature's finest creations available (and we all turned vegetarian by dinner time, except Diogo the savage). Dinner was cooked by us exquisite Brillantmont students as we spent the day soaking in Vietnamese culture and displayed it through dinner. After dinner, we were exhausted but we pulled through (thankfully) and spent the evening exploring the vibrant streets of the night market. Today, we traveled to Thai Binh, where we will be staying for the next two weeks as we begin building tomorrow (yay)! The Habitat team was lucky to meet the family we will be building for. Unfortunately they lack safe shelter, and our mission is to provide this lovely and unfortunately impoverished family a safe home to live in. After our visit, the team enjoyed a delicious Korea barbecue, and for most of the team it was our first time tasting the delicious traditional Korean dishes, no regrets!

I thought that I would take a break from work and see what news there was from Vietnam. I thoroughly enjoyed Diogo's prose and with the photos I was momentarily away from the office.
