This is our PC physician. It is difficult to grasp the depth of concern our physician and PC staff have in regard to our health and safety. Beyond being of service to our host country I believe the PC overriding mission is to keep us safe and healthy. I know many loved ones back home are concerned for us - put those concerns to rest. We are so well cared for it puts me to shame as a mother!
Do you know how to wai? Here are some PC staffers helping us learn the proper etiquette for greeting peers, seniors and VIPs. Sure am happy I am a "senior".
:-)
Here is a wai in progress. The younger of the two initiates the greeting. The hands of the younger go higher to the face while the "senior" responds with a wai at about chest level.
Here we are happily anticipating our dinner out. The food was great!
On the way to the restaurant. It was a little too far to walk so we all rode in bright red busses. As you can probably tell from the expression on these people -- we were having a good time.
The restaurant we visited is located in the middle of rice fields. They grow their own fish in a pond and have nets to contain them and make them easier to spear for dinner. We all ate outside.
The young people in our group are so very nice to us "seniors". Here is a big smile from the handsome fellow who offered to take our photo (the one in this posting).
Ever hear of karaoke? Here is a photo of a song in progress. This is a very popular pass time and it is our understanding that sooner or later EVERYONE WILL participate. So I am trying to brush up on Happy Birthday.
This is some of the PC staff relaxing before our meal. Can you see the two ladies taking a photo of each other. Cameras and the taking of photos seems to be everywhere!
Some more of our group on the bus happily anticipating our dinner. Yum yum!
You can see John on the right. On the left is our senior most volunteer and she is delightful. She can (and does) run rings around me!
