First I need to learn to drive the thing. On my first attempt I didn't get it out of first gear, but I can even reverse now. Cornering's still a bit dodgy though.
Then we were off to donate our old laptops to this children's development centre run by Su Yen, a Vietnamese social worker. They teach the kids recycling, composting and mushroom growing, which they run as a business for the school and the kids, carpentry, weaving, gardening, music and theatre. She says that Vietnam has a lot of social workers because of all the development projects since the war, but that Laos hardly has any.
Su Yin has always wanted a tuk tuk herself so she had a go on it. She might buy it when we're finished.
That looks like a very interesting kind of vehicle. What new adventures are you two going on?
ReplyDeletewe're hoping to go to 4000 islands down south, though we'll leave the tuk tuk in pakse and catch the boat.
ReplyDeleteAnd then we want to go out into vietnam via sam neua in the north so that means driving all the way back up north. If we can face it.
