Saigon 4 A lonely belly-ached day.... Odette approaching.... and FINALLY getting DUMPED

 6:15

A slight feeling of pressure in the usual spot.... oh, PLEASE, not another colic ...

7:00

9:00

I've zaloed Choi.... Chau doesn't answer....

10:00

The Monkey answers to my "Good Luck tomorrow email"   he writes

"When I find my self in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

speaking words of wisdom

Let it be"

11:15

I've finally shaved and showered..... still an unpleasant feeling in the gut region.....but I think I won't have a colic today..... and Unagi Don will be the right food....

The laundry lady is not there AGAIN....but at least she folded the last batch....but I can't take it with me because her kid does not cooperate..... instead I'm being treated to a beer-bottle-swinging dirty 30 something white guy asking the black woman who talked to me about 'her rates'.....  NOT my scene !

nap

12:15

I successfully pick up the last laundry batch

12:45

Time to go and put some happy food in my stomach.....

When I get back to the room, the dull stomach pain is back...

sleep

17:15

at least the eye is supposed to be 150-200 km from home...

I get emotional when I read a Der Spiegel article about a German who gave away his belongings and his life in Germany to live in Vietnam.... and LOVES it....

18:00

A short line to Phap

18:15

I call Chau and wish him good luck for tomorrow.....

17:00

I severely hope the Canadian Consulate will be helpful on Monday morning, because the Vietnamese CDC website is hopeless ....

Watching Netflix..... Lupin....entertaining and well done.....

22:15

as George used to say in jest "NOBODY loves me"..... I miss emails, in particular from Phap.....

LUCKY .... hopefully  !!!!

I watch Lupin

and at midnight I see a Phap email....  he quotes one from July..... 

"Don't connect with Phap anymore... the lover Phap knows he will be sad .... 

2 hours earlier he sent me a Zalo message with hearts..... 

WHAT THE FUCK is going on ???..... I try to Zalo video call him....but he doesn't answer......

Did I just go double dumped?

Why don't kick me while I'm down already?

I send the Viet text to Quy for translation help....

0:45

I hope I can pass out....

1:00

"Phap and his lover have not broken up   (that's his lover in Saigon)"

"Sorry for the time I cheated on Han"

a few more emails at this time.... and then I write "Han hopes Phap will learn to become a good person".

He actually thanks me for that..LOL...WTF ...but that will have been the last email I ever send to him.

He got enough money out of me and lied enough to me.....but at least my gut feeling WAS RIGHT !

2:00

pass out?
