Because I arrived at the lodgings in the middle of the night, I couldn’t really tell where I was After one night of infrequent sleep hours, I realized
“We’re living in a factory?”
Well sort of. The factory is located some distance away within the same compound. The work bell rings at 8am every morning, and blue jump-suited workers come to work.
This is starting to feel like a mini United Nations. I’m the only “delegate” from Singapore though. We currently have other volunteers from Denmark, Canada, Spain, France, Germany.
Like I mentioned in my tweet earlier, interesting cross cultural discussion topics come up.
Cool thing is, this factory / volunteer building even has its own website.
One part of the building,where we are currently in, serves as the housing for Volunteers for Peace Vietnam. The volunteers eat, sleep, work, and play here.
Linh is bringing some of us on a city tour of Hanoi tomorrow.
