    This is good stuff! Ling is an honest girl, you can see that her family strives to do the right thing!

Those with the heart to give will reap the greater reward! Good job Troy!

    Unforgettable moments. Ling returning the extra 500000 dongs. Young and old sitting together for a meal before setting off. A shriek of delight when the family was approaching the beach. People doing their part, working in unison, harvesting the vegetables, even though it was for 'pittance'. The family working together pulling out the sweet yam potatoes and tapioca from the ground. Ling's sister playing a simple impromptu game with the younger one making her cry. Dad defeathering and degutting a chicken and throwing the entrails to feed the other chickens in spite of the warning that the chickens will be sick from eating them. Troy doing what he likes to do-talking to the calf. There is a video of Troy talking to a cow on his channel and giving reasons why he likes to do this.

    Good job Troy Sir, being a good sport and trying your hand at picking the greens! Shows your not prideful!!! I really enjoyed this video showing the beautiful countryside and how farming can be done more safely without pesticides and still get a decent crop. Plus we get to see some of the wonderful people and how they can be happy doing activities together that don’t require tons of money or high maintenance high cost gadgets and gizmos. Very nice of you to take the extra time and effort !
    the kids all seemed so happy to have you as a guest at their home ! My family was like that too! We lived outside of town and loved having someone come visit! We would feed them and do fun activities. Maybe swimming at a local spring or watching TV or playing cards etc

      I have a feeling he's still there since he's pretty fast with video uploads and he's still in the middle of throwing Linh a birthday bash. I would just go for it and worse comes to worse, he'll come back to give it to her a different day. Troy is a pretty reliable, standup guy :)

      Yes you can still donate to Ling. The usd account is a Vietnamese bank account. I don't know how reliable it is though.

      Thanks MrPhuongie & Janny - I just sent Troy some Jolly Green Giants as a test donation for Ling's honesty in returning the extra monies. Hopefully it went thru as my first attempt failed with an error message from Paypal?

    I always worry about the amount of bombs still undiscovered in the ground there.

    This reminds me of the days I was living in Vietnam but we were farming tea and coffee where I'm from. Life was simple and fun as a kid even if we didn't have much. But for the adults it's a constant struggle being a farmer. Most don't get to live in luxury being a farmer. Only ones well-versed in business ended up succeeding which is not common for typical farmers as most didn't get to go to school beyond like junior high.
