Wow!! What a great afternoon!! We have all had tremendous fun on the water, building rafts and getting thoroughly soaked.
The students I witnessed zip-lining overcame their fears and many of them completed all 4 zip lines.
Today we went to Cat Tien National park. There were a variety of animal species such as bears, leopards, monkeys, crocodiles, etc. After that we went on an exhausting trek through the jungle of Cat Tien Forest. On the way, we collected many bugs of many different species. The highlight of that trek was the hotel stop in the middle where we could get soft drinks and rest. 
After our lunch, we went to Ta Lai Primary and gave presentations about how we think HCMC will be in 15 years. We made new friends, and had fun trying to communicate with the children there. Then, for our last activity, we went to the Long House in Ta Lai. We cooked traditional Vietnamese food, planted seeds, and made dustbins out of bamboo. We did this to help the local people collect their trash and stop pollution.
Our final full day is here and it is turning out to be an excellent one. White Water rafting is always an exciting activity for the students and staff and today's trips down the river lived up to expectation.
The day ended with a lovely BBQ, an awards ceremony and some rather interesting karaoke from Viet Adventure and BIS staff. The students then did some very impressive dancing to Gangnam Style (of course).
