and just like that a great time of R & R has ended..

Details are as follows; Friday; flight was in the afternoon so by the time i arrived and checked in, just had time to join the guys for a snack before deciding that we gonna head to a KTV joint to chill and crooon out some tunes. A friend who has been visiting HCM for a year brought some friends along and I hit it off with one of his friends. The problem was that her mandarin was really good and mine was damn pathetic so spent the time half understanding what she was saying. She was cute tho, but after a while it got tiring trying to decipher what she was saying haha. the Bad thing about the night was that the sound system in this high class place kept crashing and so we had to change room three times. Talk about starting the night on a bad note.. Sat; We headed out for lunch then wandered around to await the evening outing. I tried to go shopping but alas with a lack of basic vietnamese it did not go as well as i wanted. I explored around and tried to look for cheap clothes but without anyone to help me bargain i gave up the exercise and met a friend that I knew from last trip from my dad's VN office branch. Dinner went well and managed to find out more about her and vice versa then went to meet up with the boys to chill at a live music bar. Drinks were pretty cheap and the band was pretty good so the night ended pretty well. Sun; I met up with another friend at a local park and had a good catchup over coffee. Lunch was a pho Le. probably one of best places that ive tasted pho and well was really impressed. Night outing was back to same bar but goodness, because the original band was off , we had a local band that almost killed my eardrums. The backing vocals killed everything the lead was doing and the drummer was off time most of the time. Part of me died that night listening to that and to make things worst i didnt drink much so i was sober and really ticked off haha. Monday . oh monday my best day of the trip yet. Did decent amount of exploring of the city and the night whoa, the band was back and they played most of my favourite tunes. And for some reason my friends seemed to pakat with the bartenders to get me wasted. So i drank the most alchy in a long time. Thnkfully no hangover and woke up tuesday still in 1 piece. Tuesday. was supposed to meet a date but due to miscommunication, it did not happen but managed to meet a friend at his office so that was nice. Funny things bout trip was that our hotel was quite cheap and so i kana the room with hot , hotter and scalding water while my friends got rooms with no hot water at all haha. Overall it was a good trip and took time to just rest and relax and reflect on where my life is headed now. meeting new people is a big highlight of it too and getting to know some ppl better just made it even more fulfilling for me. Oh did i mention i ate at a casino too? haha it felt awesome but i was like super out of place haha .
