Traveled to Sapa on Winter, January 2006

We travelled to Sapa Town, Lao Cai by train. Trains start departing at 20h05. People can sleep a delicious sleep, just 06h00 trains on station in Lao Cai Town.

Picturre at Elementary school TA PHIN

We visited the Elementary school TA VAN for highland pupils such as Dao, Thai Red. etc., just to teach your child to the relative ethnic Sa Pa area. Lives of the teachers here are very difficult and needy. But they have a passion and enthusiasm for the pupils here and great love for the land Sa pa cold all year round....

Every day the students here had to walk several kilometers to get to the classroom.

Many days the teacher must also go to students home in the mountains far, far to teach children reading, writing .....

The teachers here have welcomed us very warm. We returned to the city of Sa pa with heavy heart thinking about the difficulty in teaching and learning for the students here ...

From the Lao Cai to Sapa go up by 30 km, we can travel by mini bus 15 seats. Weather cold, raining. Both sides, we met many relatives ethnic grocery purchase food consumption. The food at Sapa is very tasty and affordable.

Hotel Royal immediately we were in Chan May street will come from tourists. If you want to visit the Ancient Stone Bridge, they must hire car taxi clouds. The road is very bad and dangerous.

Sapa winter cold, but very good. We remember places such as Silver Falls, Orchid Garden, Primary School, Ta Phin village, Ta Van village, fish streams anymore ...
