We went there by car. Our car ran at an average speed so that we could enjoy the beautiful sights along the road. The green paddy fields stretched as far as the eyes could see.

The village is on the other side of the river, so we had to park the car under a big banyan tree by the ferry landing. We crossed the river by ferry. Like almost every village in the country, Nam’s home village looks quiet and peaceful with bamboos, banyan trees, and water wells … We enjoyed the beautiful sights and the fresh air, met friendly people and did interesting things.
