Greetings from Vietnam

Hello everyone,
We just arrived in Ho Chi Mihn city Vietnam about 3 hours ago. So there's not too much to say about Vietnam besides the fact that everything is alot more expensive here, and there's a whole less Kareoke music channels on T.V. We may not have much to say about our time so far in Vietnam, but we certainly can tell you lots about our last week in Cambodia.
About a week and a half ago we started to Volunteer at an organization called Save Children in Asia organization (S.C.A.O.). We quickly fell in love with the place. The main centre is a simple khmer home, but just a little bit bigger. Just down the road is another property where they have the classroom and another building where the older boys sleep. Once we moved into the centre we quickly became part of the family. Every day when we were done teaching our class we would come back to the centre and play with the kids for a while. The kind people at the centre even let us borrow their motor bike. so sometimes we would take that in to phnom penh to run errands. We were even lucky enough to go to the Dentist with some of the kids. For all of them it was their first time, which was pretty interesting. Every night after the kids had gone to bed anneke and I would have Coffee with a guy from Israel named Niv who also volunteered at the centre. It was definetly something that anneke and I both looked forward to at the end of the day. Every night we'de discuss world issues and talk about all of the differences between our countries. We also became very close with the kids. The only problem was the alot of them had trouble saying our names, so they ended up just calling us "teacha". Around the middle of last week I was sitting in the classroom with one of the older boys and we ended up talking about highschool and things like that. In the middle of the convorsation he mentioned how lucky I was that after high school I could just save up money and go traveling. For him he would have to work for a few years just to make the six hour bus ride to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat. After the convorsation an idea sparked in my head. I got the idea to get some money together and take the seven oldest kids to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat. I talked it over with Anneke and she said that it would be a good idea. So I talked to the director and he agreed. After talking to a couple other volunteers a 61 year old woman from Holand named Gerda and a 24 year old woman named natalie from Korea decided to come along aswell. The four of us volunteers all chipped in some money for the trip. Both mine and Anneke's parents made a donation as well to help us along. We were very excited how things came together. Since Anneke and I had both been to Siem Reap before we arranged the bus and guest house and all of those other details and three days later us four volunteers and the 7 kids all were on our way to Siem Reap. We had an amazing time with them. We learned the best way to travel is with a group of locals from the country side. When they buy things its aways half the price that the foriegners pay. The entire time we were with them they would either be climbing up trees and getting some weird fruits for us to eat or even just picking up seeds off the ground and getting us to try them. The trip also gave us a chance to get to know them better as people and find out how smart and talented they are. They all loved Angkor Wat and watching the look on their faces when they saw Angkor Wat for the first time made the whole trip worth it for anneke and I. When we got back to Phnom Pehn it was really hard to say goodbye to everyone, but we knew we had to move on. This was certainly an experience that we'll always remember.
