I feel very honored and proud. Although we traveled from Hanoi at 3 a.m., no one felt tired because wherever we went, we were warmly welcomed by the officers and people. Arriving in Muong Ang, witnessing the thoughtful and warm welcome of the people on both sides of the road made us forget all our tiredness!"
