i finally broke down and purchased a few treasures today. i met linh for lunch and together we went shopping for new helmets! not only did linh have language on his side, but also charm…or so he said. my hopes were high! however, when it came time to bargain prices, my dear friend dropped the ball. you win some, and if you’re a foreigner, you get ripped off some. ha! i don’t think we really got ripped off. i just think that we could have gotten a better price. i was reminded of a dream i had last night. i woke up so angry. in my dream, my mother was visiting me in Vietnam. i took her out for lunch. i ordered 2 banh mi thit nuong (Vietnamese hoagies) from this little café. we sat, ate, and talked. when it was time to pay, i asked the lady how much we owed. she looked at me quite seriously and said, “360,000 VND.” i was shocked. normally they cost about 8,000—10,000 VND/sandwich. i gave her the money and stormed off. i hate it when my dreams trick me. i spent about 15 minutes this morning trying to talk myself out of being angry.
everyone is heading back to the U.S. sunday night. i’m not. weird!
hey mom, here is a pictures for you. i love you!
