Happy Women's Day







Chuc mung Ngay Quoc Te Phu Nu It is women's day here and this has become something like Mother's Day where women are given flowers and taken out to eat. At home they are said to be "Queens." Women also treat each other and Tinh has taken us to breakfast to eat chao suon, a yummy rice soup made with boied pork ribs. Later we will have lunch with the ladies who work at the hotel. They will serve us chao ga, chicken rice soup and veggies.We will give them a small gift of cash.

Yesterday, the children at school held special games-tug of war, sack races etc. My favorite was the slow bike race where the LAST one to cross the finishline wins.Teachers and children were all excited about who was winning.
