Day 90

It’s time to get out of bed and get ready as another busy day awaits us. I take my morning shower, get dressed and go downstairs. Xuan and the kids come down and we head to the school. After leaving the kids, we leave the motorbike at home and go to Lady Bulldog for breakfast. Every time I eat her noodle soup I always end up needing another shower. We head back home and jump on the bike ‘cause we have to go back to the container yard; today the bell is being dropped and Xuan wants to be there to check how things are going.

At the container yard, the boys are happier today and there’s no “wise guys” with bad mood. The bell guy arrives and as the bell.

They unload their stuff, the bell guy gives me the instruction paper on how to build the bell, I don’t know, maybe he thinks I’m the one who’s going to build it, anyway, after everything is checked Xuan, the bell guy, the container guy and me go for coffee at a coffee shop near the container yard. When we arrive there Xuan orders lemon tea for her, cà phê đá for the container guy, cà phê sữa đá for me and for the bell guy breakfast as he hadn’t eat yet… our orders come to the table and while they speak between them I watch the end of Battle Los Angeles, I’d already watch the movie and even the second time didn’t impress me.

Then the bell guy’s food comes and the smell is awful. He ordered rice with cabbage, stewed fish and chicken and as if this is not enough he starts spitting the bones at the floor of the coffee shop, which would be ok if we were seat outside but we were inside. I have to say that I start to feel really nauseous not only because of the smell but because the all attitude…

Around 12 pm we end our coffee shop stay and head home. Chi Lam has lunch ready for us and so we eat and while after lunch, Xuan heads to her driving lessons, I head to the Highlands coffee shop. There I order a berry juice and open my computer. I’m finally able to connect to Facebook and to speak with a couple of friends I haven’t spoke for a long time, I also do some internet research and enjoy my time alone while listening to music.

Around 4 pm I start walking home and I’m lucky ‘cause not even a drop of rain fell on me. When I arrive Xuan already left to pick up Thach Thao and Phuc so I head to my room and prepare my nail art stuff as today I wanna try a different kind of rose. In the meantime the kids arrive and want cats in their toenails, which I oblige… =) then I start my paintings.

Chi Lam calls for dinner and I head downstairs. Xuan and me eat dinner and, when finished, I go back to my room to finish my paintings and also paint my nails that need a makeover. Around 9.30 pm Xuan comes to my room and asks me to go with Chi Lam and Chi Mi to the painting shop to get the paintings she order ‘cause she’s not feeling well and we need to pick them up today. So the 3 of us start walking hoping we’d find a motorbike and ending up walking everything until the painting shop at the touristy street. We rent a cyclo and load it with all the paintings and frames, then Chi Mi and Chi Lam go in a taxi motorbike and I walk home; I feel sleepy but is always good to walk around at night as it’s not that hot.

At the home gate I see Chi Lam and Chi Mi seating outside waiting for me, they open the gate and we all head to our lives, meaning I go for shower then watch a TV show and fall asleep. Tomorrow’s another day at the container yard…

Night night peeps!
