Right after arriving at the airport, I took the bus to the city center to meet Vanny. We would take a bus together, to go to Vung Tau together to stay there with a friend of hers.
We succeeded in meeting in the city center, quite on time, and actually found each other in all that chaos. Then we walked to the agency and took some kind of collective mini bus towards Vung Tau.
Her “host” is an older Canadian man who has Parkinson’s. After arriving, we went out again to try and find something to eat. There wasn’t much, but we did find a little place that was cheap.
We should have had AC in the room, but it was broken.. It was HOT and I thought I wouldnt be able to close an eye.. so, desperate as I was, I decided we’d just go downstairs and steal the ventilator from the living room. That made it a lot better 🙂
The next day, Vannie and me went out for breakfast together, to one of the famous “whatever with shrimps” places in town. It was nice!
Not sure if it was that day or the next.. one day we went shopping at the market and bought meat to prepare Gulasch.. and we also got some fruit. I absolutely wanted to try Durian and we got some of that! So lunch that day was German. At the moment the guy’s daughter is there, too, and she joined.
In the afternoon we were at the beach and then, in the evening we all went out for dinner together, and then had juice.
We went back to HCMC by bus – rather directly to the airport. Vannie stayed with me for a bit and we had some bad and overpriced food together.. well.. the airport.. and then my trip was already over. I’ll need to change planes in Abu Dhabi, without much time to spare, but who cares, if it goes wrong I’ll just be a bit late for work!
