Ending in Laos

My time in Laos is coming to an end. My five weeks went very quickly and I can't believe on Friday that I will be leaving the farm. I will bus it back into the capitol, Vientiane, and then fly to Nha Trang, Vietnam, on Saturday. I decided that I didn't like they way a 36 hour bus ride by myself sounded.

The farm has been a place where my day to day routine hasn't changed too much so it doesn't seem like there is so much to write about. The farm has been an amazing place. I have met a group of wonderful people who have been my family for the last five week and I don't want to leave them. The students here have become my friends and not just my students.







While I have been here I have had the opportunity to milk goats, find out I don't like caves, go to a Laos night club, eat Laos food, teach wonderful students, learn how to embroider, do dancing with the students... the list goes on and on.

Today, for Christmas eve, we are going to another farm to have lunch - it sounds like it will be a big event. But we have nothing planed for the tomorrow, Christmas Day. We don't have classes so I may spend the day reading so I can give Cara her book back.

Hopefully when I get to Vietnam internet will be cheaper and I will update more often.

I have updated my map. There isn't too much because the map doesn't have much detail for Laos... but you can see more or less where I have been.

Merry Christmas. I can't believe that Seattle is having a white Christmas. Be safe. I'm now half way through with my teaching. Two more placements to go and then three weeks of traveling!
