How To Remove The Castor Wheel

The day I visited an orphanage in Asia

My company has partnerships with many different orphanages in the region. We offer free dental treatments about 2000 orphans each year. 2 times a year, dentists from Holland come and give us a hand to help certain that these orphanages. There is a special orphanage. It is dedicated only to children with HIV / AIDS. One Wednesday afternoon, my mission was to visit the orphanage to compile information and send it to the people of Holland, so they can go and ask for financial assistance to fund their trip.

So what you expect when you visit an orphanage in Vietnam for children with HIV / AIDS? First, we must know that the subject is taboo here. According to UNICEF, only 44% of women over 15 years experience minimum on the subject. When someone is suffering, it is leaking like the plague. Disavow the families and nobody wants to heal / help because we are afraid. So the children infected are left in hospitals, parks, streets ... and those receuillir landing at the orphanage to which I head. Yeah ...

The place is much better than I thought. Very clean. (Not much choice when you treat children with AIDS) ... They are supported by a church and some NGOs. 65 children live there. 11 mothers are with them. In this''home''they eat, sleep, go to school ... do almost anything. It shows me around. I do what I came to do. I ask questions, take statistical ...




In the small clinic where children receive their medication, I talk to the priest in charge. Behind us, there is a lady who rocks a baby of 2 months. It is infected. It was abandoned at the hospital. He is plump. I looked up and saw 5 little boxes on a workbook. I understand that these are 5 boxes full of ashes of 5 children that no one has claimed when they died. The children have drawn animals and suns on the boxes ...





So as I left, I see all the children gathered on the first floor in the main room. Is a celebration of a child. There is a man who acts as a clown. All children ries to tweak it. All died laughing at the clown pinching the buttocks and forming a''''Squick. The most ironic moment of my life. There are 60 children with AIDS face contorted with laughter has a gentleman who is put a toy dog that Squick''''in panties.

Quebec!

You can imagine all here, the access card is Celine Dion. Our embassadrice. Everybody knows it. But qu'yat'il others around us in Asia?

- Some supermarket where products are imported, you can find a nice cane syrup. Not bad you said? Well, we can see a big hairy lumberjacks front with a name like maple syrup''Big John''Canadian product or something like that. Genre cliché ... as big as the door frame. At least the label is in both languages.

In several bus, airplane and taxi, you go on television broadcasts of''Just for Laughs Gags''them. All shows are filmed in Montreal. You see the police Montrealers, the poster car and everything. We see the show everywhere.


Here it receives TV5 Asia. So, TV5 is received in Vietnam, Singapore, India, China, Philippines, etc.. Well, we can see the Montreal newspaper TV (Radio-Canada) to 15h. Roxy emissions and Catherine are also shown daily. And there are others.

There are quite a few articles of clothing with Canada written on it. As far as we are with Germany, Korea, Japan, France ... Even more ... USA just beat us so I made my comments.

's Near us there is a store called Home Deco''Canada.'' They sell tables and other furniture. I do not know what is Canadian except the name. Employees do not even speak English! (And obviously not French)

When you say you come from Canada, the same reaction every time: Oh, it's cold there, right?

is now arrived. Go to bed kids. Here is now time to reveal the horrific stories and the times when my body has been abused. If you're one of my parents, maybe you should not you read this. You've been warned.

Last summer, me and some friends have rented bikes to go for a walk in the countryside. On the gravel road, the bike did not like the brake, turn and Garnotte. I should explain my bike principles of physics. Anyway, the result was a visit to a hospital in the middle of nowhere, 2 clinic visits Ho Chi Minh, a month of medication, bandages and marchage like a duck.













In November, I returned home and my bike had a weakness, which resulted in a spin on the asphalt ...







At least, it was the droid off this time.


In my first apartment, I often wake up at night with bites ladles:



is a little pocket, I have no photos of my eye infection, skin problem behind my ear, etc. ...

Be careful!

Hanoi Capital

Hello,

So it is with a preparation of 24 hours since I left for the capital. I had work to do there. What better way than to combine a trip? And what better than a short trip at the last minute??

The star attraction was a visit to Halong Bay, considered the most beautiful site in Vietnam. Visit is fairly standard: two days and a night cruise on the boat. Well, I guess you're afraid when I speak of a night on the boat?? Well, it was pretty comfortable and almost luxurious (!) Here is what we can see


Then Hanoi was cold (10 degrees) and, ironically, I forgot my jacket only to HCMC. Anyway, the city has much history and charm. Much quieter than in the south. Here are some highlights:





Oh, and yes, I also worked there ... But AC is not so exciting!

Bus Story



If you follow Nicolas for a little while, you know that buses are always conducive to adventure Nicolas. After the bus in India, the bus in Mexico, Bolivia bus, the bus here in a village in Vietnam.

The idea came after realizing that the long weekend day of the year would be a good time to visit a small village in central Vietnam. Buon Ma Thuot. Nobody went and nobody will ... where about. It is the capital of coffee. Vietnam is the 2nd largest coffee exporter behind Brazil. And this city is THE city when it comes to coffee. It is also the gateway to the largest national park in Vietnam. So it is with a monster geule wood that I start on 1 January 2010, with 2 Vietnamese, 1 Philipinoise, two Japanese, one Dutch and one Belgian.

There, we rented small bikes and we traveled the countryside, jungle and small villages deep in the mountains. We rode an elephant, market and drank lots and lots of coffee. So it was good but the problem is that there was no bus for the return. I had the good sense to me booker important meetings on Monday morning. I must go home. Thus, setting 1 was a bus at 20h in the evening. It was actually a chair in a bus lane as it was full. The bus would arrive in Saigon at night to Monday morning at 6am and then go to work. Well, we cancel the Plan 1. Plan 2, it is a ticket Sunday morning at 7am. I would take alone because there is only one ticket. The problem is that it is suspicious that a guy wants to sell me the ticket.

I chose plan 2 and the guy suspicious.

At 7am, the guy is supposed to take me to my hotel. It is here, at 7:01 am. He says he wants m'enmener breakfast. I want to know anything. It is with 2 other guys ladle. He told me that the bus is in 1 h and that has plenty of time. (More and more dubious). So we will lunch. He uses his limited English to ask me some questions. On''chatter''. Then I have absolutely taste the coffee in his stepmother. I reached her house, the lady is very happy to see me. Serves me coffee. I was introduced to the brother. The suspicious guys just wanted to practice his English. Since there are not many aliens who are traveling there, they are all nice bin. I have both eyes in the fat of bine and I just want my sacred camp at the CR & S * The bus arrives. I enter, they make me all big adios. The guy was on the verge of tears. I feel when 1am, I became one of his best friend. Weird. I am still affected. But that's where the story begins. The bus.

It's more a big mini-van. I have a corner of a bench. It's filled with people of the villages. Hygiene is something that varies widely among cultures. You can not imagine how. I'll try here to give you the highlights.
- Journey time: 9:30
- 1 single
30min break - no air conditioning
- 25 people in a van with a capacity exceeding 18
- The two guys on either side of me smoking.
- There's a baby
Braille - It passes through dirt roads and dust enters the bus
- I 'm probably one of the only foreigners to be seen in the last 5 years and everyone stares at me.

Those who must see to believe, take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNE3BVx5VUM
For added realism, will run under the sun for 2 hours, take your shoes tape them to your face, give you sticks in the knees and put on C $% S Pocket Vietnamese music in the ears.

I returned home quite Magaña.

you soon!
