Day 4

Today I woke up with a pleasant thought of finally eating normal food (Cereal) for breakfast!
I slept for good 9 hours but somehow woke up an hour earlier... :(
The day before we bought instant coffee and that was the thing that brought me back to life this morning.
Breakfast was very fast today as everybody had cereal which seemed like gourmet food after the breakfast earlier.
As we arrived at the building site we recognized some of the familiar faces of little Vietnamese children. We started the day by making a chain and passing the bricks as we have been doing for past couple of days. That was a good start of the day and got us sweating like crazy.
The rest of the day we continued with doing the same stuff for a long time, digging the sand/mud/clay stuff to make the foundation of the house. It was very hard work and we (me, jack and meng) managed to finish more than 1/3 of the foundation which made us very proud. The little kids helped us a lot. I gave the kids a couple of rides in the wheel barrow and they seemed to really enjoy it. By the end of the day the children have learned a couple of english and even russian words. They were jumping on us and we would carry them ) We could barely walk at 3 o clock and now as im am writing this every muscle of my body is aching. So far I really enjoy the trip and i think it is a very good thing we are doing.
Dinner time (raining)....
