After having been on the road for the past two months, living in budget hotel rooms like an "Up In The Air" George Clooney without the Executive Platinum status, I'm back to where I started. I dropped my bags off at my homestay, showered and then went to the Book Cafe for some serious last minute homework. The presentation is tomorrow and the paper is due Wednesday night. After that, we have a few days in HCM again to evaluate the trip and talk about how it will be simultaneously difficult and thrilling to return to the US.
Then it's over. I will begin a life of extremely well-budgeted luxury, see a bit more of this very cool country and then return home to begin my summer as the most thrifty version of Gordon you have seen yet.
I am very busy right now, but it doesn't feel like finals week or anything. This project is a distant responsibility. I'm just trying to enjoy the abundance of mangoes and the anticipation of getting my silk bathrobe from the tailor on Wednesday.
From Mom on Dad's account...and will we get to see pictures of this bathrobe?
