AR Adventures: Hornets, fires, and slaughtered pigs-real world Vietnam

The first week of camp was an interesting one to say the least. Monday and Tuesday went well going through the life skills, academic, and sports classes, but Wednesday was where it got interesting. Some coaches thought the locusts were coming for the end of the world, the Vietnamese kids grabbed their noses and pointed at us to run, and all we saw was a huge swarm of bugs flying straight for us. It turned out that someone in the town had ruined a hornet's nest and thousands of them were flying together to find a new home. After we calmed down from the hornet attack (no one was stung, thank goodness) an electrical fire happened in the Red Team's room. Once I heard my name being yelled from the upstairs room, I ran up to see the wires that were connected to the light switches smoking and melting away. The Hoa An principal cut the electricity and had someone come in to fix the problem. Thursday was a whole other story, since the volleyball coaches (Lauren and Morgan) approached me after one of their classes and told me about their dilemma. Initially they thought a broken lawnmower was running outside the school, but one of the Vietnamese coaches clarified to them that it was actually a pig being slaughtered. They were also able to see the half deceased pig be carried away to another destination, and refused to eat pork for lunch or dinner that day.
