Tomorrow I go home. I have already been online checking prices for next February and unfortunately because it's Tet when Vietnamese return home to see their families, prices are quite high. I will get here even if I have to travel as baggage.
It was raining today and some spectacular thunder but the rain ceased and it was a much cooler day, almost normal by our standards if you can discount the 90% humidity.
At Banana Split today I saw one of my heros Rusty Bower, famed for his Rusty Compass blog and his lessons in Vietnamese. He was strolling past the market, so I expect he will be doing something on Hoi An soon. I envy his fluency in Vietnamese. Good chat with Keith and Austen catching up on the local news. No photos dammit. But a few tonight of the dancers in Xanh.
