We arrived in Bac Ha today (on a Vietnam map go north from Hanoi all the way to Lao Cai at the China border and then head west about 1 hour). It's a wonderful place up in the mountains.
We got in around 5 AM, freshened up, ate breakfast and then practiced our hygiene training with our translators. (SEE PICS BELOW)
We're headed down Bao Nhai now to:
* check out the school where we're teaching
* meet teachers, administrators and district officials
* do preliminary work on water purification systems
Tomorrow the teaching and installation begin. Can't wait to hang out with the students!
Note to Venture Vietnam Alumni: The Sao Mai Hotel in Bac Ha has finished a new wing that is beautiful. Air conditioning, nice showers, very nice balconies and WIFI! We're so excited.

This is us pretending we need to use the bathroom which is the number 2 way of passing on germs. I think we are very effectively and convincingly conveying the idea. (Click on pic to see larger image).
