Hi to all my MIIS friends,
I have, at long last, created a blog for Vietnam. I leave tommorow, May 24, in the evening, and I can't wait.
When I get situated and recover from jet lag, I will post photos of the school, the city, the food, and the students (with their approval!). I will also describe my teaching adventures and perhaps ask questions if I have any. All of you are welcome to respond, say hi, or just browse. It will be nice to get feedback and response from you all, my friends whom I already miss!
Take care and remember to work on those sun tans :)

I walked down a steep hill to take some of the sapa photos posted on this blog. It was such a peaceful place, and so green!

These are the typical new buildings here. Everything is skinny and tall because there is no room in Hanoi to grow out!!!!

Hi Natalie,
I pray for your safe trip to Vietnam. I am in Japan now and going back to MIIS on 27th. I am looking forward to reading your blog. I have never been to VN, so I am exicted to see the picutures there. Have a wonderful time in VN.
