It's 6:50pm and I'm at a relative's house. We got to Saigon around 5:45am. The family that i'm staying with, he used to be my 1st and 2nd grade teacher, so that's pretty cool to see him again. He doesn't teach anymore, him and his family have a shop and doing quite well so really happy for them. It's a nice house, I'm sleeping on the top floor (3rd floor), it's like my own penthouse :). I have a pretty nice view and have my own wake up call (see pic). It was a chore bringing my luggage up to my room, lucky I had help. Anyway, once I settled in the room, I took a two hrs nap. I got up and need to do my business. I sat down on my throne btw this make get a little graphic. So i sat down and i was about to drop my deposit. At the last second i happened to look at the toilet paper holder and there was no paper. I was like "aww man!" i had to cancel the deposit. I went and asked uncle about toilet paper and it wasnt the answer i wanted to hear. He said they dont use toilet paper. "WTF!" in my head of course, i said oh ok and went back to my room. I had to think fast because my deposit is about dude. I started scramble for papers and happened to find some napkins in my bag. I had to use the napkin sparingly but let just say the bank excepted my deposit. After that little adventure, i took a shower and my cousin got me a bowl of pho. It was goood, it was a beef and chicken bowl...sooo goood! I then took another nap :). My cousin woke me up around 12:30pm and we went and got some chicken rice. After lunch, I went back and helped around the shop. I did for like 2 hrs and then went upstairs for a nap :).
After my nap, my cousin, her daughter, another cousin and went and got dinner. We ate at a seafood place, nothing to brag about. We got done with dinner around 8pm. We then took a cab to the center of the city where there are shop and Christmas decoration. It was madness! People were all over the place and traffic was insane! We walked around for 2 hrs and went home. I'm exhausted and can't wait to catch some zzzz.
To be continue...
