5:00
I woke up a few times .. and then every time a second later remembered what happened.... but this time I'm awake.... SAD....but I'll deal with it somehow..... I briefly consider unblocking him.....but NO....gotta be firm this time.... and if he really loved me, he would drop by on the way to work....
6:00
I already drank way too much, sitting on the balcony smoking....crying watery eyes...when I see a cyclist coming through the hotel gate.... OMFG.... it is HIM !
He doesn't see me, so I wait in front of the open door for him to walk up the corridor .... WE HUG ..and HUG... and HUG ...and kiss...
I ask him whether he has to leave in 5 or in 10 minutes..... he says "NO. Han quan trong nhat." (Han is most important)... OMFG it feels so good to hear that....the man put on his work clothes and left his wife and parents at home....but he's not going to work, even though I tell him he should because I'll be fine now....
I do a quick calculation....he starts at 6:00 and probably should work until 14:00....if I check out at 12:00 that leaves him homeless for 2 hours because he can't go home early....too suspicious.... so I go down to reception to ask for a late check-out at 14:00
HEAVEN....
14:00
He leaves to go home and I check out (80 or 90k extra for the slightly over 2 hours late checkout ;-) and order a Grab....the car icon is not moving....probably napping at the wheel.....after 7 minutes I call him....then the car on the app starts moving....
I nap a bit during the ride but am awake enough to see that Ba Ria is even uglier than Bien Hoa....more fuming smoke stacks....
The 'resort' is at the end of the world .... the reception is impossible to find..... but at least they do sell White Dalat wine for 150k a bottle.... not bad.....
My room is too small and smells of insect repellent.....and has a great view ....of a brick wall ....
17:30
should I go to the restaurant?
nah...a nap is in order....an exhausting day ....
but I can't sleep
18:15
2 more bottles of wine from the restaurant .....
And I order Salmon Pasta in the restaurant......the staff is NICE everywhere....the whole resort is STRANGE.....but AWAY from the LOUND & UGLY road.....I'm actually starting to relax from being away from the traffic noise.......
The salmon arrives....... salmon is not actually that bad....but in tomato sauce with corn and PEAS.......bizarre....
The restaurant is DEAD.....I guess everyone eats in their rooms..... stupid....
I eat less that half of the dish and ask for a take-out box and the bill....it takes a while...and I will have to eat cold pasta with salmon chunks with a teaspoon when I'm hungry because they don't hire employees who THINK.... ah well.....
19:30
I book 4 nights at Harmony.... might as well..... I also go for the FREE taxi ride from the airport courtesy of Booking.com..... my name will be on one of those signs ;-)
21:30
exhausted ...
22:30
trying to sleep
no go....I keep thinking about how happy Phap made me today and about his life and how much I miss him already....
23:30
time to pass out
sleep
5:00
OUCH....
8:30 Toan calls ....he will be here in one or two hours
9:30 he's here..... we drink and talk....
Then Lunch "Argentinian Steak in green pepper sauce".... fool me for ordering it here....
13:30
Toan is drunk.... and he has to work again at 17:00....I tell him to have a nap....he takes up the whole bed, so I rest for a bit on the floor mat...
14:30
I've applied for the new Viet visa for March 6..... no stupid MC code request this time.....
15:00
Time to wake Toan
He is skeptical when I say that I will be back here in 5 days.... but this resort ain't too bad and I REALLY enjoy his company.....we will see....
15:30
Toan leaves... I miss him as soon as he's gone....
Try to sleep but can't....
17:00
I call Ingo...after a minute he gets another call.... Lissy is getting a STENT....HOLY SHIT....
17:30
I yearn for a Phap message...... but then I should remember that today was a GOOD day
18:30
I pee on a FROG's head in my toilet and then flush it down..... AGAIN
19:00
The frog is BACK !
I manage to take a few pictures of it before it jumps off into the wilderness....
I email the picture to all my English speaking 'friends'.
and Zalo Phap and tell him "today lots of alcohol and fun...but I always think about and miss you. Sleep well Love".
19:45
Netflix
20:30
try to pass out

21:30

22:30
There is a P-Happy message ;-)

7:30
Maybe food will help..... breakfast..... I got the shits again.....definitely too much wine yesterday ....I take a handful of pills

10:30
I'm on the loo when Duy calls.....he wants his Zippo ;-)
10:45

12:00
checkout
There is no Grab service in this area.... the receptionist orders me a private taxi and receives 1.2 trieu.....it's a scam but that's normal....
I sleep
13:45
I'm in room 401 at Home Away..... Long was amazingly friendly and cheery today....
13:30
Hellish noise at Bun Cha 145.....they're using a power drill on the walls next door.....
Yogurt, banana bread, and 2 bottles of wine from CircleK
I am exhausted
16:00
I've booked the return flight for Monday and asked Long to reserve room 401 for me for 2 nights.
16:15
Now there is a power drill working on some wall next to or in my hotel.....I can't wait to get some QUIET at my beach again !
I still walk to the bank machine and buy another bottle....
exhausted
I book the flight to Phu Cat for Wednesday and exchange messages with My....he will pick me up at the airport
watch Netflix in bed on the large TV
another message to Phap
sleep
5:00
drinking too quickly
nap
6:30
WHY is there no charge on the credit card from the storage place..??? ....more stuff to worry about....
7:30
Joanna Zalo calls......Ken issues.... we talk for a long time......life is complicated .....but her Wifi sucks....
8:15
Eda is still working..... she had to travel to Mitchell Island for work..... and she is holding her pee....
8:30
I have to grab a taxi in 2 hours ....
8:45
Grab a Banh Mi outside the hotel door.....she recognizes me..... baguette, pate (no butter or meat), chili, cucumber, carrot and the white thing
9:25
shit.....need to speed things up.....
9:45
I'm ready to leave....double check my time line.....yup....everything should go swimmingly....
10:30
I'm pretty sure the taxi driver ripped me off....350k for a ride to the airport? WTF? I'll be taking the bus next week.
BUSY SGN airport...... long line-ups for immigration and security.....all the foreigners are back ....then the plane only takes off at 13:15 instead of 13:00 ...congested runway.... I'm afraid I'll miss my free taxi ride at PNH..... at least I'm the first one out of the stupid shuttle bus and get through immigration quickly... this guy even used the unused space on the first visa page of my passport ....THANK YOU !
15:00
I'm at the hotel after tipping $2 to the FREE taxi driver
The room is not ready yet..... OH WTF.... I get into the room at 15:20, open a beer and smoke on the balcony ....and I hear that the room above me is being renovated....
OH NO !
I'm sorry for making the life of Vatey Na more difficult and tell her so....but there has to be an end to the BS....
I switch rooms
16:30
buy wine and food
17:00
OMFG..... someone is drilling holes in the walls in a room not far away ....

my stomach looks fat......
18:15
I finally find the store that sells the Moroccan Vin Gris... and walk away with 4 bottles for US$ 21.... LOL, LOVE IT ....
7:30
Frau Stuempel emails about Mara from Germany..... instead of emailing, I call her back....we talk for 25 minutes....
