Jorji Explains

Yesterday we had the morning off so we decided to check out the markets to find some good presents for our loved ones back home.
After meeting back at the hotel we jumped into the mini-van and ate our lunch on the way to the Sunrise Children's village.
As soon as we got there we were asked for our passports so that they could be scanned and then led on a tour.
However some of us didn't make it around the whole tour as we were dragged off by children who wanted to show us their friends and favourite parts of the village.
When the tour (with not many of us left after the children were through) finished, we made our way to the dance/music hall to watch all of the gorgeous younger children tell us stories of romance, hunting and joy through traditional dance.
The kids came down of the stage rather excitedly and surrounded us, playing with our hair and telling us as much about themselves in english as they could manage.
Everyone then hurried to the playground where we played with the children until near exhaustion - they have so much energy!
Sue donated her guitar to them (they had an amazing music program with a few guitar students so they really enjoyed it)
When it was time to head home we were all a little bit upset as the children were rushing to say their goodbyes but we thoroughly enjoyed making them smile.
When we got back to the hotel we had 15 minutes to freshen up before our sunset boat cruise over the Mekong, after which we headed to an american diner for some food to remind us of home.
We are now on a bus ride to Vietnam, will post when we get there.
