Leaving Vietnam

I stayed in Hanoi, Vietnam, for over three weeks, but it was not a pleasant experience. I was feeling unwell for almost my entire stay. I still have a cough and phlegm. I hope I will feel better after arriving in the Netherlands. The air quality there should be better than in Vietnam. I went to my usual breakfast restaurant, but it was closed for some reason, so I visited a pho restaurant that serves duck instead. While I was eating, a fly kept bothering me, which was annoying. I spent the entire day in my hotel room, packing and taking care of other things. I bought a standing desk on Amazon NL. In the evening, I visited a burger restaurant and had a craft beer. Then I moved to a local restaurant, but there were flying insects everywhere. It was a terrible day for dealing with bugs. I tried to visit some comfortable restaurants where I had eaten several times before, but they were all full. Therefore, I bought banh mi from a street stall and ate it in my hotel room. I took a shower and finished packing. I checked out of the hotel shortly after 10 pm and called a taxi. I headed to the international airport. I wrote this article at Noi Bai International Airport at 11:36 pm local time in Vietnam. I have now arrived in Shanghai for my connecting flight. I was able to sleep for several hours on the plane. I need to finish my daily routine quickly.
