The commute to work

Getting to work everyday is the same here as It is at home with just a few differences. Our morning begins with the usual mad rush to get everyone up, breakfast and out the door with all the things that are required for the day; books, laptops, homework, sports uniforms, money; inevitably though something gets left behind - for Josh that was his school shirt, which he realized he didn't have on half way to school, how you leave the house without a shirt on is beyond me, the poor kid wore a sweater all day, but that's a 12 year old boy for you.
640am give or take a minute or two sees us out the door.
We are so lucky to have Khanh our driver. I do feel sorry for him sometimes, it's bad enough that I have to listen to the scrabbling of kids in the car, but he does too.
But khanh is one of the many things i will miss when we leave here. Obviously I don't drive, so I don't ever have to fill a car with fuel, i never have to worry about parking, I can be at work and the kids are still being collected or dropped wherever, and when it's time to go, we go.
So it's off to school. I decided to take a few photos of what we see every morning.........
