Day Three...

Just when it seems like it can't get any hotter here...the sweat starts dripping off your nose..(and that's when you're standing in the shade!)

To tell you a little about a typical day here in Bien Hoa...

We're up for breakfast in the hotel at 7am, then hop on the bus at 7:30am. We drop off one team at their site and then the other...

Work goes until about 11:30am when all of the skilled workers leave for lunch...We then have lunch and aren't suppose to go back until the workers come back...Since they usually take about a two hour lunch, you'll see a lot of hammock pictures while we wait for them...

It's then back to work until about 4-4:30...(by that time, you are essentially covered in sweat and dirt and ready to pass out from heat exhaustion...)


Each night we then head out to a different Vietnamese restaurant...

Here's some highlights from today...

Michelle P and Paul V moving dirt...


Katrina moving rocks....


(I'm not sure if you noticed, but we spend a lot of time moving things from one spot to another...In Canada, we call that "Make work projects" lol )


Toshi trying to get some coconuts down...




Toshi showing off his coconuts....




Paul checking out Toshi's coconuts...



Katrina brick laying....


(although she's missing the hat and fag...)



Michelle P waiting out the long lunch....

This picture is just in case you thought Mich P just laid around in hammocks all day....

Did I mention that we wear nametags in case we get inspected?

The best part of any build is the kids!

I ended my day with a card game with the guys....And got my butt kicked. Then as I was leaving, they ran over to give me some cards...I think they think I need practice!
