Day 45

Saturday, no waking up hours, no errands to run… nothing! Guess I was wrong! I wake up at 6.30 and stay rolling in my bed until I start hearing Chi Mi, Chi Lam and Xuan’s mum talking and then I know it’s time to start moving myself.

I get ready and wait for Xuan and the kids to come down. Only Xuan comes down and tells me that we’re going for breakfast and then we’ll have to go to a porcelain store to see dinner sets for Lisbon, the farm and the temple. The way seems too long and I’m thinking that I did well when I took the hoody with me otherwise I’d get burned with the sun and the wind while in the bike.

When we arrive to the store Xuan wanted to go, we realize it’s a small store and they don’t have so many things to choose from. After walking around a little bit, asking a couple of prices and just bringing a box, we left and head to Saigon Centre in district 1. There’s a store there that has lots of dinner sets choices and other stuff very cool.

We arrive, Xuan puts the bike at the parking lot and we go up. We walk around and they have the same stuff of the other store and other pretty sets. Xuan chooses 2 dinner sets, one for Lisbon and another for the farm and the temple and starts order the quantities of all the plates, bowls, spoons and all the other stuff needed… after a couple of calculations, I decide to buy a dinner set to my house too, hoping that my mum likes my choice… =)

It’s 2 pm when we leave and it’s to late for me to go to the nail salon so we go home, we have lunch and I help Xuan with the container list. When we finish is 5 pm and we still have errands to run so lets hop on the bike and go battle Saigon’s traffic.

A couple of hours pass and it’s time to head back home for dinner. We’re almost dead but there’s always strength to eat barbeque and it’s what we do. Unfortunately no more chicken wings so I have to stay with pork ribs that are also very good. When we finish dinner we go home and I head to my room and after a shower a decide to go rest until the next day…

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

P.S. - this is what a change in instruments and voice can make to a cheesy music...
