Left at 6.30. Had pancake breakfast. VISA into Vietnam was wrong so had to bribe boarders $15 to let us in :) Stopped at restaurant on 5th floor and had veg and rice. Arrived at home stay at 5.30. So lovely. Traditional house with all open rooms with pink mosquito nets. All outside but with tin roof and shelter us. Member of local village took us on a walk. All houses are given boats so they can go to the market. The all have TVs too. All really expensive homes about $100,000. They showed us how they cooked Baew, this was a rice pancake with a meet and onion filling. Sat down and ate this, with pumpkin soup, pork in a clay pot, green beans, and spring rolls. Then desert was Rambutan's. Also given small pot of tiger balm. Played Irish snap. Very funny. We all then had showers and packed. Amy borrowed my loofer which upset me. Wanted to poo but was too scared. Went to bed and there was a massive storm. It was so so much fun because I was warm and dry but would hear the rain.
