So, several weeks later, after the IT Seminar, when we finally had the time, Terry, Pat, Hung, Phuong, Phi and I set out on Saturday morning motorbikes to discover a bronze foundry village in Hu? that makes bells. I was determined I would buy a bell, but first I had to find one that sounded right to me. In the village we asked one of the foundry families if we could take a look at their factory.

Here they are making the form for the ?emptiness? of a large temple bell.
