Off to Sa Pa we go!

A few updates from us here in Viet Nam...

The team is very excited to be joined by Casey Dorin!

Casey is the former Dean of Tourism and co-author of the proposal for the PATA Foundation project. After a late flight into Hanoi on Thursday night, he has adjusted quickly and is looking forward to a great trip.

Yesterday, we were lucky enough to be able to attend the Hanoi Open University graduation thesis presentations, followed by a delicious lunch with the HOU faculty and guests from the public and private sector of the Viet Nam tourism industry.

The team will be catching the legendary "soft-sleeper" train up to Sa Pa this evening. After a brief stop to freshen up, we will be heading straight up to Ta Phin to get right into the next phase of training! Wahoo!
