Back in Hanoi...






Ky - our fabulous client, who's super cool, very witty, and makes sure we get plenty of 'rau' - vegetables - to go with our rice ;-). He takes good care of us. Here he's posing with a local treat...



Sup & Vijay - in Thuong Xua, at our favorite restaurant... we ate there 6 meals in a row...






Kelly & me at her birthday celebration (more & better pics to come!) Kelly & I first met in the H-block of the India School of Business last January and bonded over our mutual love of chai. Kelly will be a featured member of my blogs as we're traveling together for a month after Vietnam.



We've just arrived in Hanoi, after spending the beginning of the week in the field interviewing pig raisers, traders, People's Party officials, Women's Union Chairwomen, and agricultural officials. Yesterday morning, we interviewed two agricultural officials who specialize in hoof & mouth disease... Vijay and I were asking questions, and had ridiculous giggles everytime we accidentally looked up and saw the ridiculous myriad of posters decorating the walls - and educating us in the various manifestations of the disease... see below...




but these adorable little munchkins peeking in at us during our next interview made up for it...
