Here I am in the city of Hue, Vietnam! Yesterday we went straight to the workshop for the Healing the Wounded Heart Shop, where I'll be working. The artists all came to get us at the airport, and are a beautiful group of people. Many of them are deaf or mute, so most of the communication is done in their own unique version of sign language...which will probably be easier to learn than Vietnamese!
I'm in a hotel for the first week and then moving into my new place...probably a little room above the shop. I have only seen it from outside but I'm enchanted already...Its in a building covered with bougenvelia, on a busy little street corner where vespas zip around and people squat eating pho'.
I've got to get to work! Some documentarists from the LA times are here filming a piece about Agent Orange and incorporating the Healing the Wounded Heart Shop. So filming with them this morning. Got to go get pretty!
