6:00 ....where am I? .....
dark rings under my eyes.....
my laptop doesn't start... WTF?
I'm re-planning my day.....the computer: repair the old one AND buy a new one..??....
7:00
Talk to Eda....we're both cranky.....I because of the laptop.....she because she has to wrap Xmas gifts.....

My hotel is 400 meters from a Coopmart......has a Medical Centre right next to it....and there is a computer repair shop just behind the Coopmart...... NOT bad ;-)

One last trip to the bank machine.....another 5 trieu..... and a miserable ham and cheese sandwich and some yummy peach yogurt for Dong Nai....

Almost time to go..... somewhere new......it's been a long time.... an adventure !
12:00
Meeting the Grab driver on the main road.....someone shouts Koenig from behind.....it's LONG....small world !
vids...
I sleep on the rear seat bench ....I wake up.... check our location....1 minute away from the hotel..... Dong Nai is UGLY.....reminds me of An Nhon.... roads and shops and dust and dirt .....
13:15
The receptionist asks me 1 or 2 people.... I say maybe 2.....she starts the rant about a marriage certificate being necessary if a white and a yellow person stay in one room.... ONE person, I say.....
Dong Nai Hotel.....the first room is large but has no balcony (well it does but I would have to climb through the window to get it).....the second room has a balcony but is small.....none look even remotely like the room I booked...... I'm not even complaining anymore.... there is no point.....
Now I understand why Phap said " Bien Hoa khong dep"
14:00
I message Phap where I am... I can hear a train passing not far away ... what to do next? maybe nap?
15:00

I order my Viet Evisa for January 4......the webpage says "payment failed"....but the payment showed up on my RBC credit card........ it's starting to get ridiculous ....
I just realized that my penthouse suite at Velkommen is on the 6th floor.....and no elevator..... good for me ;-)
14:15
Let's go for that walk to the Park...... Google Maps says it's CLOSED....but Google Maps is WRONG....
It's a fucking MIG 21..... I built plastic models of this as a 7 year old.....and an American Huey chopper.... Apocalypse Forever..... I hate weapons .....but this brings back MEMORIES.....

He is here.......almost 2 hours late because he went to get a haircut... why not get one tomorrow when I'm not waiting for him.... he says that he wants to be pretty for me.....
20:30
I drop my phone off a 3rd floor balcony onto the street below..... OMFG..... it doesn't have a scratch.... THANK YOU Karma !
holding hands, hugs, kisses, naked stuff...he gets off, I don't ...again... napping all intertwined.... and the lovely snoring.....
22:00
He leaves and I feel empty and alone.....
22:30
Talk to The Monkey for half an hour..... some BS about electricity cables along the Ba Nam road.....5 trieu every month just to have the cable?...... and why didn't Lisa tell me about this?!!
