Robin forgot to mention the most exciting part of our trip today ... free candy! They showed us how they make rice paper, puffed rice (in a big wok with sand to make it heat up really fast), coconut milk and coconut candy. The candy's just like coconut flavored toffee, really yummy, and there were lots of free samples to be had. We also had elephant fish for lunch which was served whole and looked alot like a blowfish, you had to scrape off huge pointy scales to eat it.
We also went to the market in China town yesterday. It was pretty similar to every other market except that they had the first washroom I've seen that's just a room with a small drain in the corner. There's four girls working in the washroom throwing buckets of water into each stall, to rinse I guess, but I'm still left wondering what people do when they have to poo.
Till next time, Carla

Just wanted to let you know that Jade's bakery caught fire on Sunday night and is completely gone. It burned in a matter of minutes. No word yet on how it was started but we all have our suspicions. They didn't have any insurance so they've lost everything. She's in pretty good spirits though. I hung out with her last night and she seems optimistic. Take care,
Sara
