Wake up call was at
6:30am and breakfast at 7:00am. We had bread and vegetarian tomatoes beef. I
took the bread for Fong. Today’s plan was to go to various charities. Diane,
Teresa and I opted out for this morning’s activities. I needed to look after
Fong.
After breakfast the
group left, Teresa and I went to Cho Ben Thanh to get some pans. When I got
back and showed Fong. She asked me to get some for her and a t-shirt for her
husband. I went to Cho Ben Thanh again and bumped into Diane. We went together.
I bought more masks, pans and t-shirts. Diane bought her son a work shirt and
more. Teresa came along and we went back to the hotel together. We put our
stuff in our room. I forced Fong to drink some water and she fell back to
sleep. She had a fever. I told her that I was going to have lunch and do
more shopping.
Teresa, Diane and I had
lunch at a non-vegetarian restaurant. The food was okay. We had a problem with
the Vietnamese dong when we paid for our lunch. After lunch we went shopping. I
bought a pair of converse for Nicholas for 990,000 dong. Teresa and Diane
bought something.
Co Tu Minh ordered some
plain rice porridge for Fong. Thay TC asked whether Fong wanted to go to see a
doctor. I asked Fong and she said yes. Thay TC rang Chu Tam Can for the local
doctor. Chu Tam Can took Co Tu Minh, Fong and I to a surgery. The doctor looked
very old. He gave Fong some tablets and a shot on her bum. He asked Fong to
come back tomorrow between 4pm-8pm.
I didn’t go to have
dinner with them as I wanted to look after Fong. Co Tu Minh bought some dinner
for me. My Hanh got some retreat clothes for us and 5 rice cakes for me.
When they finished their
dinner, Diana, Teresa and I went to do more shopping - shopping madness!
