Celebrating Tet: The New Year of the Water Buffalo
Ms. Lob instructs Karina in the fine art of using chopsticks
This week the Global LAB club celebrated Tet with a special Vietnamese meal of spring rolls (thanks to Vermicelli Restaurant) and fried rice with sausage and vegetables (thanks to Mr. Eastman's wife, Thu). We honed our skills using chopsticks and some of us even dared to try the fish sauce. Here's a video of the moment of truth, when Kiara and Ms. Lob taste it:
After our meal we wrote up our introductions for the blog and posted them below with our photographs. Then we talked about health and safety issues for our Vietnam travel program and we also worked on filling out the Vietnam Visa application forms.
Our parents joined us so they could meet the group and ask Mr. Eastman questions.
Next up: we get down to the business of fundraising so we can make our plan to visit the other side of the planet come true.
