I felt like a movie star! They obviously do not let anyone in the airport the is not flying in or out, so as you are walking out of the airport you see this huge crowd of people. They are all waiting behind a roped off area, waving and screaming. Really, picture a movie star or singer stepping out into a crowd of people. To go with the people, you have the sights and sounds of Siagon. Siagon in some ways has the feel of New York City; lighted billboards everywhere and the sound of MANY people. We didn't get any pictures last night, but hopefully we will in later days.
It felt like Loc's whole family came to welcome us, but really it was only two families. Come to find out, Loc has 5 brothers and 5 sisters. One of Mitchell's cousins is able to speak some English, and that has been VERY helpful. We stayed in a hotel last night for the whopping price of $10. We having to decide now if we want to stay here or stay with one of Mitchell's aunts.
Too much to say, but I will leave you now. We are going to see Mitchell's grandmother for the first time today. I am going to use this blog to share my thoughts and feelings while we are here, so some of my posts may get very long or I may write two or three a day. Sorry.
I will leave you with a picture Mitchell took yesterday on the plane. It is of the Grand Canyon from 50,000 ft.
