Photo Journal Week #6

Photo Journal Week #6

Hello Everyone!  Week six is just starting and I wanted to take the time share more photos.  This week I have two presentations and so much reading I think my eyes will fall out.  This weekend I will be helping my friend, Lam, practice English, guiding English practice lessons at SMILE, and cooking and distributing food to the homeless and disabled with TAM THIEN BUI DOI charity.  Looking forward to sharing my service experiences next week!  Enjoy the photos:

Viewing the sunset with new friends in the Mekong Delta.
Busy traffic in Ho Chi Minh.
My roommate Oanh!
Boats in the Mekong. Like these, all were colorfully decorated.
Lanterns sold for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I bought a swan lantern to parade with the kids at Smile.
Traditional Vietnamese Hot Pot. The noodles, vegetables and meat are cooked right in front you over an open flame.
Rice sold at a market in the Mekong, the home of rice production in the country. Vietnam is a leading rice exporter in the world.
Floating home in the Mekong.
Mangrove root systems! Made to survive in tropical wetlands.
The "Green Lung" of the South, Can Gio National Forest.

Be sure to check out all of the Flikr photos from other Loyola students abroad! Lower right corner of the screen. *wink wink*

Xin Chao!

Hẹn Gặp Lại (See you again)
