it lasted at least 20 minutes! haha
Not feeling all that inspired today...

Thesaurus needed.
Improved Haiku on the way??
No promises though. 😊

I haven't had a very inspiring day today. We went to the Baby Orphanage this morning and things seemed a little off yet again. Then this week we started the extra session at the Baby Orphanage so I was there again. I really felt like having a nap when I was there!

I don't know if it is coincidence or what but we did have another Vietnamese language lesson this afternoon which could help explain some of the lack of motivation. haha Yet again, I wasn't feeling the most motivated so I brought my knitting to class! I know, probably not a good thing but I figured falling asleep in class would be worse!

After the afternoon session at the Baby Orphanage our driver Dong invited us to coffee. It was Claire and I and Phuong came along too. Thank goodness since Dong is just starting to learn English. If Phuong didn't come along the conversation would have consisted of...Hello. How are you? Where are you from? How old are you? All questions I'm sure we've asked or been asked a million and one times. 😊

The true excitement should be later this evening when we head over to the hotel for a night of dancing with Mrs. Hanh, Phuong and her new love interest Mr. Lanh. So hopefully there will be more to report tomorrow! LOL

Hugs and stuff,
Bonnie
P.S. Heard it thru the grapevine that Hannah's family has been reading this blog..So a big shout out to Hannah's family. Hello! Don't worry Hannah, from now on I'll be using a different name when referring to you..how about using your name backwards? HAHAHAHA

I was trying to catch Tra with his intense eating look but he was more interested and amused with my camera.

Wondered whether Tam Kay really existed as have spent hours "surfing" to see a picture of the town but haven't had much luck. I am wondering what I have let myself in for as I am going 3 weeks yesterday to do some volunteering at an orphanage. Not sure which one yet. Anyway, was nice reading your journal and looking at the photos. Thanks Take care and kind regards Brenda
