Anyway, the 2 weeks I spent in Vietnam was a good one. I went to Ben Tre Province. The scenery there is very beautiful, especially the sky, it is totally different from the sky you see in Singapore. The people there are very friendly and hospitable. The lifestyle over there is very simple and different from ours. Although, it is a rural area, the people over there are very happy. Personally, I adapt very quickly. So I do not really have much of a problem fitting into the lifestyle over there.
Of course, I didn't went there just to relax. My friends and I went with the school on a YEP expedition with YMCA to build a courtyard for a primary school and teach the student English. Although I was in the construction team all the time, I sometimes take a look at the classes during my break. The students over there are very eager to learn, unlike us, who complains almost everything in school. Everyday, I see students fight, however, it seems more like a bonding session for them rather than a violent fight. The construction is very new to all of us, it can be tiring but it is nothing I can't do. >=)
I met four YMCA Vietnam volunteers over there,Phuong ,My ,Bang and Cherry. They spent all 14 days with us doing the same thing and translating for us. They are all very friendly and nice people. I really appreciate their help and they made this trip an enjoyable one.
Of course, it's is not just my class who went there. There people from MOT, ME and PDI. They also made this trip an enjoyable one. I met new friends and bonded deeper with my current ones. The trip was such a fun one that I don't mind extending it.
At the airport and the cultural exchange night, people teared and cried, it is hard to say goodbye after spending 2 weeks together. Although the trip has ended, all of us will hold such memories dearly. Will we meet again ? Will we go back to Vietnam once again ? No one knows whether or not it will happen, we will just pray for answer....
