more adventures in saigon

Well...we were so excited to receive another call from thinh! he called at 4:40 am his time and i was like what the heck are you doing up? they can't sleep. they go to bed at midnight and wake up at 4, even mai and if you know her, well she likes her sleep! anyway, he said last night they ate at a restaurant and had a 7 course meal for their party of 7 and even included an entire roast pig! he and mai are super impressed with the service also...he said as soon as you finish a plate it is cleared and your drink is never empty! the bill for the whole group was 50 u.s. dollars! then later they were all hanging out at the hotel cafe outside and a man gave he and mai each a 1/2 hour massage for 70,000 vietnamese dollars or equal to 3.00, yes, 3 u.s. dollars! thinh mentioned again how bad he feels for all the people begging and deformed along the streets there.

so, they were packing up and heading 4 hours south of saigon on a bus to go to his aunt's house. can't wait to hear the next update!!! we sure do miss him!!!
