Day 112

Today’s the last day of school for Thach Thao and Phuc, which means no more 6.30 am waking up! =) But today is still the same: get up, shower, get dressed and ready to take them to school. After leaving them we go for breakfast at Lady Bulldog and for cà phê sữa đá at highlands coffee shop. We stay at the coffee shop for a while, relaxing, and then we head to Saigon Plaza to buy more swimming wear for Thach Thao and Phuc. We walk around and walk around until we find what we really wanted, and we find it so well that I ended up spending money on a pair of jeans shorts from Victoria’s Secret and got my eye on a pair of Forever 21 cosmic leggings… anyway, before leaving we also buy a shirt for Chi Lam and then we go home for lunch.

Today we’re active and don’t stop much at home. As soon as we finish lunch we go for massage and steam bath. Then we drive until the photo store and before getting the photos we ordered, we visit the Cholon Mosque.

We were very curious about the architecture and Xuan about how was it inside but when we arrive there, there is this nasty woman who’s really not nice to us, telling us we cannot enter the mosque. Xuan and me ignore her and go look around; there they also give Arabic classes to the youngest and Xuan gets really disappointed in the fact that there’s nothing decorating the Mosque.

We leave, pick up the photos and head to the school to pick up Thao and Phuc but it’s too early when we arrive so we seat in the shop in front of the school and Xuan orders 2 chai latte, that tasted not that good but I was so thirsty that it disappear very quickly!

A little bit before 4 pm the school gates open and we can pick up the kids, they won’t be coming back to this school anymore so we give the photos we had made to their teachers and then we head home.

We leave them at home and then go out to go buy a pair of shorts for Xuan. We go back home, leave the shorts and pick up the food for Xuan’s mother. We go out again towards her house, leave the food, get the stuff from yesterday, give her a ride to the temple and then head home again. At home we leave the empty stuff and go out again, this time we go to the supermarket. I buy a couple of sweets to take to Portugal and Xuan lots of instant noodles to take to Portugal. I think it’s very funny because, we also have it in Portugal but who cares… when I leave I’ll be missing this! Going to the supermarket and take everything in the motorbike, it’s very funny and such a nice experience. We take lots of time at the supermarket because it’s really crowded so when we’re ready is already time to dinner and when we arrive home, dinner is on the table.

While having dinner the tailor’s daughter, Terry, shows up but Chi Mi tells her we’re having dinner so when I finish dinner I go to her house to talk a little bit with her so she can continue practicing her english.

At 9 pm I come back home and I really need a shower! I go directly there, wash my hair and wash all the impurities away, and then it’s time to blow-dry and straighten the air while watching a TV show.

When I’ve finish all my stuff, I watch Bruce Willis’ A Good Day to Die Hard.

My comments? It’s funny; you can watch it even if it’s not the best movie of all times! =) Time to go for the beauty sleep…

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