We made it to Luong Son meeting at 9.30Am. The road to Luong Son was not a cup of tea for travllers by cars. 

We had a meeting with the government and Luong Son Group before going to the tea field to pick up tea leaf. 

Our friend Mike got a new friend who just took him by motorbike and showed him his family and gave him ice cream. Mike then interviewed him about his life and his story with Luong Son group. It is a Ha who was volunteer to help us to prepare for our drinks at lunch and night. 

One of our students was impressive by a new friend and it was interesting to find out that the friend was a policeman. 

While we had lunch, it started to rain. A group of students went to the yard of the house to dance in the rain. I was worried to see them dance in the first rain of the season even though as Belgians, raining is just a daily sence. 

We had a chance to try all steps of making tea till the step of packaging it and brought it back to Belgium. 

And the meaningful evening with guitar and signing Belgium and Vietnamese songs were great saying see you again.
