I went on a teaching project, based just out side of Hanoi. I arrived to the sweltering heat of 5.30am. On arrival British Airlines, forgot to place my bag on the airplane. But luckily the kind, staff member(Vieat), was able to set the matter straight. We then took a taxi back into the main city. The taxi smelled like pineapple.
When we stopped in the street that I soon would love and trust. Making are way through the back streets, we arrive at my new home. Everyone was gone on a day trip, so unpacking was easy. Later Vieat & I got sticky rice for breakfast, it tasted like cardboard.
I spent that morning sitting up on the closed balcony, waiting for people to come back.
Their was a lot of people, in that 4 story house through my time. 5 Australians, 3 American, 4 British, 1 French & 1 Italian.
Everyone was told to use Grab, the Uber of Vietnam. You could get a bike or a car what ever your mood. I mostly got the bike, it was a lot cheaper. Also a super fun way of seeing the city.
Yet I would get the car to the Kindergarten, for their was 2 of us traveling each day.
I was brought to the Kindergarten on my 3 day in Vietnam. The kids quickly began to listen & understand me, through my very helpfully translators. The kids were amazing, all different interests. One boy was fascinated by animals. So I began to show them Google Earth, they were mesmerized.
On my time in Vietnam, I made friends with 2 Swiss girls. Also with their host Mum. We visit many places outside of Hanoi together. Their host Mum, often invited me for dinner.
The thing I took most from the trip was, kindness. I saw it in every aspect of my time there.

So thank you Projects Abroad, for giving me memories and a passion to travel more.
