He got off the bus at the wrong school in the morning, got put in wrong classes, didn't have time to finish his lunch (they only get 25 minutes), and then missed the afternoon bus home.Scott Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846325681393068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400194226997101556.post-42641694859835808972013-08-13T12:23:15.193-04:002013-08-13T12:23:15.193-04:00What a great opportunity for all of you!

Hopefully, he can teach us a few words of Vietnamese before his parents, who speak no English, visit in February.Scott Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846325681393068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400194226997101556.post-69373988246196645202013-08-13T07:01:02.175-04:002013-08-13T07:01:02.175-04:00We actually did take Duc to a Chinese restaurant o...We actually did take Duc to a Chinese restaurant on his first day here. He ate, but I'm not sure that he actually enjoyed it. He is very quiet and respectful, and wants to experience all he can about America.

South Korea gets quite cold and apparently is not humid, and Michael found it quite disgusting to sweat in the Alabama heat -- and he left before June! But he was a very sweet kid and we all loved him, and I hope y'all have the same great experience as my friend did.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101229099991602645noreply@blogger.com
