We're here !

Hi everyone,

We are finally in Vietnam! The flight was not as bad as we all thought it would be. Everyone is in good health (minus the jet lag) and in just two days we've done several things and ate just as many. Vietnam is beautiful, here is a gist of our adventure since our arrival: we took a walk to a nearby restaurant yesterday and had some delicious Vietnamese food,unpacked,ate more food, and got some much needed rest. Today we graduated from a Vietnamese cooking class, and visited a Vietnamese Pagoda. Tonight we will be viewing a water puppet show and eating dinner on a boat cruise on the Saigon river. We will be starting our individual blog entries tomorrow so check back often for updates.

Love,

The Blog Team (Curtis, Alanna, and Hailey)

Hong Kong Arrival

So we're on our way! We all survived the 16 hour flight to Hong Kong from Toronto, and now are in the process of a 3 hour stopover here at Hong Kong Airport. It's about 4am here, so the airport is very quiet. Some of us slept a lot on the way over, others not so much, but either way this will be a good time to catch up on much wanted sleep. So hello from Hong Kong Canada!

Send Off BBQ

Thanks everyone for coming out and celebrating the DSBNi team's trip to work with Habitat for Humanity - Global Village in Vietnam.  After a great morning hike along the escarpment and the Bruce Trail, the team arrived at Woodend Conservation Area appropriately tuckered and hot . .   a taste of things to come!  The support that the team has experienced all through the year is very much appreciated.  Now we start packing our bags.  Stay tuned to the blog, as we plan to bring you regular updates from Vietnam.
