Flight to Vietnam
I woke up just after 2 am. I finished my morning routine and completed packing to leave Japan. Around 7 am, I went downstairs. My mom said, “At least have some miso soup.” It was too late because of my departure time. She went to the community center, as she had attended an elderly people’s party there the previous night and needed to help with the cleanup. We left the house together, but I said nothing to my father. I handed her one letter for my father and another for my mother. I had been writing the letter for over a month. When we parted, my mother said, “You should come back again,” but I replied, “Never!” I arrived at Hiroshima Airport just after 10 am. I had Onomichi ramen in the restaurant area on the third floor. It was okay, and the cost was 900 JPY. My flight to Hanoi was at 1:30 pm, and I arrived at Noi Bai Airport just after 5 pm. I tried to call Grab, but the pickup area was really far from the entrance. I sweated a lot. The hotel I booked was nice. The room had a kitchen and a bathtub. I wondered if I could live there forever, as it cost only about 20 EUR per night. I went to a local restaurant, which suited me well. I had Chinese softshell turtle cuisine for the first time in my life. It was tasty. Back at the hotel, I continued drinking and soaked in hot water for a while. I fell asleep around 11 pm, local Vietnamese time.
