Today we had a close-up look at some rice fields,
visited a kindergarten,
wanted to hug the adorable children.
Spent some time at an embroidery workshop.
The work was lovely and incredibly detailed.
We were happy to have our compact but ugly plastic raincoats with us. We didn't mind looking like we were wearing giant ziplock bags when the skies dumped buckets of rain on us. Cameras and other valuables stayed dry, and the showers didn't last for long.
Shopping opportunities were everywhere. Vendors on motorbikes formed a sort of motorcade with our bus, pursuing us from one stop to the next, in hope of selling men's knit shirts. Watson bought three "genuine" Ralph Lauren shirts for $10. Portable shops had been set up on the pier alongside The Amsterdam. For $15 I became the proud owner of a black silk jacket lined in bright red and trimmed with colored silk medallions. Yes, I will find some occasion for wearing it!
