Day 41


It’s 6.30 am, time to get up, get ready and put the kids at school. This morning they seem very happy and with a good mood which can be translated in no crying until we leave their school. In the way to breakfast we buy soy milk and this is the real thing, you know… it comes warm and it’s really good, doesn’t taste nothing like the soy milk that are sold in the supermarket. We have breakfast at the lady next to home and while that, one of the girls that sat next to me thinks that’s very weird that I know how to eat with chopsticks as, normally, easterners don’t know how to do it. Long story short, I’ve learned in my 8th b-day and since then never stopped.

After breakfast we head home ‘cause Xuan has a meeting with the accountant and while she does that, I’ll be watching a couple of TV shows and editing some more videos.

It’s already time to lunch and today there’s fried fish, green beans with garlic, steamed rice and chicken soup with veggies. Xuan needs to go to the bank but she feels tired so tells me that she will rest a bit and then we’ll go. With that she goes upstairs and I go finish to watch US History channel’s Vikings with Gabriel Byrne. It’s really good!

Knock at my door and it’s Xuan calling me to go to the bank. Today it’s hot as I’m almost not able to have my jacket on. After the bank we stop at another chai latte shop and order our favourite and even if the drink here is not s good as the one near home, the jellies are much better. We continue our way and our next stop is the place where I’m going to learn for good nail art painting. I hope one day I’ll be able to do things like this…






It’s time to pick the kids at school and there we go riding with the wind… I pick up Phuc and he runs to me when he sees me. We have to wait for Thach Thao as she started her English lessons and finishes a little bit later so Phuc goes and plays around a little bit. The kids asked for a helicopter and a dinosaur so after leaving school we go in search of these 2 toys without being able to find it. We leave the kids at home and head to the Vincom centre, the shopping mall. We’ve been there a couple of hours, as we couldn’t decide what to buy to the kids, but finally we found a truck with a helicopter for Phuc and a dragon and its egg for Thach Tao.

Time to head home and see the joy in their faces! Phuc has such a big smile that I know Xuan bought him the perfect gift and Thach Tao gets so happy when she sees the dragon that I have to build the dragon first and Phuc has to wait a little bit before I can also open his box and give him the truck.

It’s time for dinner already and Chi Mi fries a couple of eggs for me and I eat them with the rice and end it with lunch’s veggie soup. When I go upstairs to my room, the kids come to meet me and play with their toys, after a while I manage to put them quiet by starting to show them Disney’s Aladdin.

The kids go to bed when Chi Mi comes to pick them up and so I guess it’s time for my shower and TV show time before falling asleep.

Night night everyone, don’t let the bedbugs bite!

P.S.- today is father's day and it was with great pleasure that I called my dad, wished him a very good day and told him how much I love him. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY QUIM! =)
