Neenee's right foot looks very sore. Would be better off with crutches then a walker.

    I think I would have preferred it that the cabins be more primitive, which includes the sites, keeping it as natural as possible. It’s advancing too quick, modernized.

      Todd, Neenee and Mina: This is probably your best video I think. Your family are so fortunate to be blessed by the Baci ceremony from this nice Hmong family. It seems like you are born to make friends. Being like the locals are the best and most respectful way to travel. Thumbs up to you. This is one of the reasons why your You Tube channel is very meaningful and interesting to watch.

It took a full year to recover, the pleated and screws will stay in she doesn’t want to go through another surgery to remove them.

    Howdy brother,,how fortune for you to meet Ray and Viv and to hear his amazing story! Very moving to listen to that. Nice to see the lovely Tony and Shelly. What superb people they are,,great examples in humanity! Dont think I'd care for the river cabins anymore. They went way overboard developing things. To busy and to much,,,like you said,,piss flowing into the river and I'll mention soap from the showers,,,just kinda gross because of being right in the swim zone. Mina found a new crazy woman to dance with😅. That girl ne er stops,,although she did look a bit more tired than usual this trip. Probably help her broken footed Mom has wore her out😂 Mr. Chua deserves every single thing he has received! What a kind hearted man. Wish I could go help teach for a couple weeks. ❤love you Mina! You guys take care,,hope Neenee heals quickly. Nice to see an appearance from Rado 👍Ttyl,,,Marlon
