In the morning, we're off early to Sapa. A mountainous region, Sapa is home to many of the ethnic minorities we've been hearing so much about including the H'Mong and the Black Thai (based on their indigo-dyed clothes). It's a three-day, two-night weekend, and we're all excited. It's our last big hurrah before the events of next week: a few school visits, the final class, a last meeting with our wonderful tutors, and the closing reception. And packing: boy, that should be interesting.
We're all exhaling a big sigh of relief. No matter how we did in the class or on the exam, we were a success. We learned a heck of a lot immersed in a brand new culture (for us), and we had an experience beyond compare.
