Departure at 7.00 mirgen. Khoa and Ding was exactly. We were all up early and ate breakfast at 6.30. First stop a silk factory with many fine fabrics. We saw production. We bought, however, no but it was an interesting visit. Now on to Ha Binh and a small stop on the way to the toilet and a beer or water. We were received by Hoa. It was made up for us at first floor. I have my own space in the living room. At 15.00 we made a little bike ride in beautiful surroundings. We cycled for 2 hours. Weather has recovered. We cycled in good weather through many villages and rice fields. A beautiful trip and now we sit in the courtyard and enjoy ourselves. At 20.00 we eat dinner. HOAs man is good to cook. We got many dishes. Ruth bought a bottle of red wine from Dai Lot. The rest of us drank "Tiger Beer". We buy beer and water in the large refrigerator. The heat and the many impressions makes people tired. It was only Tommy and I are given a rum and cola at first floor terrace. New exciting challenges of tomorrow.

Breakfast at 7.00. Departure for a school in Mai Chau valley by bicycle. There are approximately 10 km and climb most of the way. Most of the teachers were old friends, but there was, however, come new to. We had wine. Rector goes by October 1, so there was a little extra for. The school gave water, fruit and tea. We ovrværede teaching in English and mathematics at various stages. It was a festive visit. The return trip went quickly. It was downhill all the way. We had a stop at a White Thai family. I was here for the wedding in April. Now we relax before we eat lunch. Afternoon trip was a hot trip with great blue skies and very warm. We drove an exciting new route. The first 2 km road was very bad. We could hardly cycling, but it was a nice trip. It was only Khoa, Knud Erik and I who made the trip. Now we relax before we go to the bathroom and then to dinner. Then dance the village for us. It was a violent storm and almost tropical storm with rain. The light failed many times, although Hoa had a generator could not handle it. Current many times failed. It was a pity for dancers: 9 girls and 4 men. Sometimes they had to dance in the dark. But they had completed the dance. All seemed that they had made a great effort. Finally rum and cola. No one was on the evening hike because of vedjret.
