Ho Chi Minh City, Part 3

Tomorrow Eri and I will be continuing on our adventures to Cambodia. I do not have a clue about this country, except that it has Angkor Wat, which is supposed to have tons of temples to explore. I mean, that is why we are going there.

Alex, Brent, and Stefanie flew back to Tokyo last night. Without them, HCMC seems so hollow. Eri and I are ready to check out, although we don't know how we can possibly outdo what has been such a great start to our vacation. Alex and I have become really close over the last few months - we kind of established a routine together that was our own, it made Japan not an extended vacation for me but rather a home. Stefanie and I became a lot closer and shared everything: shower doors became absolutely useless. And while I always knew that Brent was a great guy, I just learned more and more how much of a genuine and caring person he is. It was really hard for me, for while I know I will see them again, I just don't know when. But I'm sure if Brent puts his PSP battery to service mode, he will be able to hack me a ticket to see everyone. That's how much of a good hacker Brent is.

Then there is the matter of new friends made in HCMC. To all of us he took us under his wing, took us around HCMC and beyond, showed us all kinds of crazy nice restaurants, arranged bus tickets... But above and beyond all those things, he was just unconditionally nice to us from the get-go and became our friend. There are few people who are purely and simply nice like Lam for reasons none other than to be so, and all of us of Team Vietnam agree that our trip would have not been as kick-ass had we not have met him.

To me... let's just say I'm pissed off that Australia is far away. But I am so happy to have met him, and his name will always leave me with a smile. I hope I have done the same.

Yeah, this entry is getting quite sad. But all the sadness written here is really happiness that unfortunately yet in some cases necessarily must come to an end if not a pause.

Frameless Shower Door said...

Frameless shower doors are very economical to purchase and hence they can easily be purchased by the average people. They look very delicate and thin apparently and thus many people are afraid that they would easily break. However the fact is that they are much more strong, thick, and durable than the ordinary glass and this makes their maintenance easier.
