let the buying begin
The three of us caught a taxi down to the mall, as Audrey calls it. Really it's a half-empty shopping center with a grocery, book store and clothes shop on the second floor. It happens to be one of the two places in town I can ask the taxi to go to and they actually understand(the other is home-Hong Duc University). I took along a bunch of cash and we picked and chose among the limited amount of toys, looking for things that the kids would like, at both the Tam Ky Baby Orphanage and also at the Home of Affection. We got building blocks, cars, dolls,and stuffed animals for the Baby Orphanage and a bunch of books and puzzles for the HofA kids. We scored pretty well and ended up spending about $50. I'm sure the woman at the shop thought my children were the most spoiled children in the world. Tomorrow, it will be clothes shopping. Whee!

Good job! You guys are the best.
I bought that same exact bag of building blocks for the kids! too funny. well i think i'm going to return my bag now since i really had no idea how i was going to get it in our suitcase. i do have at least 30 small stuffed animals. a dozen coloring books and puzzles, about a dozen small cars, trains planes (not tiny small, like 6 inchecs small) and some clothes. let me know if there is anything stateside that's really needed in Tam Ky!
