Cao Lanh

Half day meeting in Sadec, then four days in Cao Lanh. 3 day course, followed by half day planning meeting, then four hour drive back to Ho Chi Minh City. After class on first day, entire class went to visit the grave of Ho Chi Minh's father. National shrine located in a large park. Hien, the translator, is in the white shirt.

Very broad streets in Cao Lanh, but very few cars. Quite a poor area, yet it's the largest rice producing region in the country. Rare to see people like me here. Got lots of stares, even more so when I went to the local department store. Caused quite a stir.

I've attached a group shot of the class in Cao Lanh.
