I was putting laundry away when i heard the cell phone ringing away...so i went flying down the steps to answer it and sure enough if was thinhy!!! it is amazing that he is almost 9000 miles away and yet he sounds right next door on the phone. anyway, yesterday they took a ferry to the next town and went fruit picking! he could not remember the names of the tropical fruits they picked but he said it was yummy, cheap and fun! again, he was amazed at the amount of motorbikes right along side the cars and big trucks and they all drive nuts! and, he said he feels like he is in the middle of nowhere, yet everyone has cell phones and reception too! his cell is not able to pick up any service so thankfully he is using grandpa quach's phone!
today they are going fishing. he is probably hoping to catch enough fish for dinner...we shall see! he loves hearing stories about himself growing up there. one story they told him was how he used to love to go crabbing near his house. one day a crab grabbed hold of his finger and would not let go. so he told his cousin who was with him to go get his mom and grandma quick because he was probably going to die! thinh also mentioned how his sister has 2-3 "bodyguards" with her all times. when they come back from somewhere and she takes her sandals off to go into the house they turn her sandals around so she can just slip into them and off she goes!
sidenote: andrew just informed me that when he is married he is going to let his wife go on lots of vacations and he will stay at home and do all the work and she will be so happy!!! love him!!!
okay, so he is still having a great time and claims he is getting fat!!! can't wait to see that! this after telling me about picking mangoes and bananas right off the tree and all other fruit is like .10 or less a piece. sounds lovely!
