Day 120

Going back home doesn’t let me sleep and this past night was terrible. I woke up a couple of times and at 6 am I just get my butt out of bed as I can’t stay there anymore. After showering and get ready I start packing my stuff and start realizing that even if Carlos and Xuan take some of my stuff, that’s not enough, I’ll need another bag.

Xuan comes down and Carlos is no where to be found so we get a taxi and head to Phó Lè as Lady Bulldog has no more noodles for us. When we finish we head back home, grab the motorbike and go to the supermarket. Once more we come out of there like if we’re moving a house and I’ll really gonna miss this ‘cause it’s really funny! =)

At home I pack everything I can and, without nay warning, I fall asleep until 1.30 pm. When I wake up, Carlos and Xuan didn’t have lunch yet so we eat all together and then I go to the hairdresser to dye my hair. I don’t feel like it to be there so everything seems to takes lots of time. When I’m ready I almost run to the house but my mind doesn’t let me as it remembers me how many stuff I need to pack and that I probably should buy another bag…

Xuan’s younger brother brings a scale from Mr. Truong’s factory to see how much all our luggage weights and of course mine is really overweight: 51 kgs and I can only take 23 kgs plus one hand luggage. Let’s not comment on this… so after this “shocking” news, I go get ready for our dinner with Mr. Truong as he wants to offer me a last dinner before leaving HCMC.

We get a taxi to go to Gao restaurant (Gao is one of the words to say rice), which is an amazing place with lots of lights and the food is very very good.

We eat rolls and fish and seafood soup and drink some rice drinks.

The bill is expensive but it’s only this time so it’s ok.

When we finish we head back home and I’m dreaming with a shower just to be rudely contradicted by the water, as there’s no water in my bathroom. I can just dress my p-jays and jump into bed, connect Skype and learn that my dad’s at home and I can see him one more time before leaving Vietnam. I also learn that my mother is on her way so I make an effort and stay awake until she arrives home so I can give her a kiss too. She looks very pretty today with red lipstick and red nails! My mother is a top model, a small one but a top model anyway! =)

My eyes are closing so I say goodbye to my parents and go to sleep….

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