Sitting here in front of the computer listening to the rain on the tin roof, Mai sewing a new outfit for herself (using the Brother sewing machine which we brought over and are leaving here) and Megan playing in the rain with her cousin Em Win on the front porch and yard (under an umbrella).
We’ve already started packing — on May 2nd, we will ship the large plastic foot lockers by train; on May 4th-5th, we will take the train from Hue to Saigon and on May 6th, we fly EVA Airways from Saigon, Taipai, Seattle and finally arriving May 6th at approx 9:30pm in Portland, Oregon.
Amazing to think that almost a year has passed since we left the USA. Being in Vietnam for a year certainly has had its ups and downs. Grandma is even now on the front porch complaining about Megan playing with the rain water. (Grandma says it’s dirty.)
Megan has certainly learned how to speak Vietnamese fluently with a 6-7 year old vocabulary. Cannot actively speak many adult words, but she says she understands most of what she hears on TV — especially during the cartoon 30 minute segments.
