I'm in the same room, the same bed even, as I was my first night in Saigon. That was over three months ago. I'm still processing how weird it is to be back in the same hotel where it all started. It seems like yesterday, it seems like forever ago.
We have just returned from our final group dinner, and Andrew has said his final goodbye (I'll see him in two weeks when I pick up my bag from his house). Four more friends leave for the US/Australia tomorrow, and four of us stay here for a few more weeks. To be honest, I could happily be going home tomorrow, too, but Tony went to Hue and liked it, so...
I can't wait to remember how to be articulate. Working around language barriers has reduced our capacity for expressive thought and grammar, as well as sarcasm... we will have a reentry learning curve, for sure.
Photos later, please excuse the surreal mental state. Documentation of the journey of Harry, Ron and Hermione (Adam, Gordon and Eliza) to follow, you'll love it, I'm sure.
