final words

On Day 1, Vietnam was definitely an unusual place to all of us, but I'm sure that we have all grown to love it by the end of the trip. This blog was made with the intention of highlighting all things good (and bad) that I have experienced about the country.

As you could have probably deduced from my title, Vietnam Rocks, this blog was intended to showcase the lighter side of Vietnam, adding a slice of humour to this huge (and serious) pile of work that is called IBSM.

We have learnt many new things about working in a foreign country that I'm sure we can apply to our lives in the future, even if our eventual destination may not be Vietnam. We have also made many new friends and forged bonds that are stronger than anything we could have gotten through our normal school lives, simply by being around and relying on each other during the 10 days. These lessons and experiences will stay with us for a long time to come.


It was a strange land of motorbikes


and weird statues,

but we managed to survive


because we had each other.
