A former student

This is me with Aja and one of my students from last year Mai Anh. Also in the picture is her father Andy and his father. When Mai Anh was in my class last year she mentioned that her and her family were going to be in Viet Nam for new year. Thanks to the internet, I was able to kept in touch with her but thinking that she was talking about January and our schedule did not quite work out to meet them. In January we were still in Eastern Europe. Then I realized that she was talking about the Vietnamese New year. So we were able to fly from Thailand to Ho Chi Minh city Vietnam and travel south through the Meklong delta to visit her and her family in their Village (Vi Thanh) in the south of Vietnam. The third day of the New Year is dedicated to teachers, so when we showed up at the village we were treated with great respect by the family and he locals who do not get too many tourists in their village. Some times and in some places it is great to be a teacher.
