*Tape transcript:
At 6:30 in the morning, the bus collected Ba and his family from their home.
After picking everybody up, the bus continued north on the Highway Number 1. It
crossed the Dragon Bridge and stopped at the gas station to get some more fuel.
Then, it left the highway and turned left into a small road westward. This road ran
between green paddy fields, so people on the bus could see a lot of cows and
buffaloes. The road ended before a big store beside a pond. Instead of turning left
towards a small airport, the bus went in the opposite direction. It didn’t stay on the
road for very long but turned left onto a road which went through a small bamboo
forest. Finally, the bus dropped everyone off at the parking lot ten meters from a big
old banyan tree. It parked there and waired for people to come back in the evening.
