Days 1-6 in HoChiMinh

no promises on keeping this up to date but it's a start in the right direction. i love reading your blogs and maybe this will help keep everyone updated while i'm gone.

departed on tues mar 3, arrived wed mar 4 about 11pm. chicago, hong kong, ho chi minh. tired and ready for fresh air and stretch legs.

thurs morning felt awful. headache, etc. didnt sleep well either (not used to snoring). low key, zombie day with lots of resting. stayed out of Mrs. Han's way while she did her thing in the house. Mrs. Han is housekeeper woman who is amazing. Mr. Hai the driver chauffers dad around day and night; Mr. Hai the gardener is an elderly guy who waters the hell out of plants. Mr. Hai gardener was airforce pilot, tortured, etc during way. sure he has amazing stories if i just could understand him. they all speak a version of english. although if i was speaking a foreign language, i'd probably go very slowly but they blast thru words and i cant quite tune in yet. Dad had biz dinner so i just had leftover pizza.
