Getting Back to Hanoi

I felt terrible because I had drunk too much. However, Eri went out in the morning to join an activity with some Vietnamese friends. I continued to rest in the hotel room until noon. I extended our checkout time by one hour and paid for the hotel. It was only about €14. Around 1 pm, Eri came back and took a shower. Eri, An, and I took a taxi back to Hanoi. The trip from Haiphong took over two hours. We said goodbye to An, and he left before us. Then we went back to the hotel room. In the evening, we visited a house where we had had a great lunch two days earlier. We gave a Japanese sweet called Hiyoko to a woman there. We stopped by a laundry shop, but they declined to do our laundry. I cannot understand why. We visited three kinds of restaurants: a cheap local restaurant, a luxury restaurant, and a Thai restaurant. I did not feel well, so I could not speak or eat very much. Finally, we visited a cafe and drank a cup of coffee. We fell asleep around midnight.
