We slept in today. The beds were uncomfortable but somehow I still slept in til 10 am. We got some breakfast and checked out at noon. Javson and Su are staying in Saigon for a few more days so I was the only one leaving. I had a few more hours left so I walked to the nicer part of Central Ho Chi Minh City. Khong Doi St had a lot of Western fashion (not black market stuff). There was Versace, D&G and other European fashions. None of the prices were cheap so I really didn’t buy anything. After walking around for two hours I headed back and said goodby to my cousin and Javson. I told him next year we’ll do Tibet or maybe some European trip. He wanted me to take a month off of work and I laughed.

In the taxi ride to the airport I thought that the trip was great. I was a lot of Vietnam in a short period of time and got to meet relatives whom I’ve only heard stories of. I wish I could have learned Vietnamese before going because there were many times I couldn’t communicate with the relatives. I could understand them but it was a one-way conversation. That doesn’t come to say that I didn’t have a great time. I had an awesome time. Can’t wait til the next time I return.
