Day 25 – 03/12/2012 Monday – Ho Chi Minh City

Wake up call was at 6:30am; Breakfast at 7:00am. We went to Hospital Bienh Vien An Binh to see a group of people waiting for cataract operation. They were joyful people. While we were waiting our bus outside the hospital, Hue Dung told me he is an admirer of Fred Hollows and that was why he named a street “Fred Hollows Court” at Pennington, his development site years ago. I told him I am also an admirer of Fred Hollows. I told him I am a miracle club member. 


We went to have lunch then went to a shopping mall to have coffee. Fong and I bought some last gifts – a set of nail cutter for $10. We thought this was a bargain but when I arrived back home, my father told me, he can get it for $5.

We went to the airport early. It was a chaotic at the airport. People in the group kept buying stuff and for sure their luggages were overweight. No one dare to ask Fong and me for join checkin. Poor Teresa was targeted by the people who had overweight luggage. Thay TC’s group had 20 kg overweight and they were lucky because the attendance let the group go for free. 

Fong did her last minute airport shopping. She left me with the entire luggage and disappeared. I thought she was having toilet problem. All people went to the gate and I was waiting for her alone at the entrance. I went to look for her after more than 10 minutes and found her at a cosmetic counter. When we got to the gate, she went for more shopping. It was incredible to see people shopping like mad. Diane was another one but they were happy, that was the main thing that brought them happiness.

We safely got into the plane and I watched a very interesting movie called “Dai Wu Dang” and halfway I got cut off for landing. I was hoping I could catch up with the next half of the movie for my next leg, unfortunately from KL to Adelaide they didn’t show that movie.


During few hours at KL, Fong and Diane went for more shopping. Sighed…. They actually bought something and I couldn’t see my sister being sick or tired. This was truly amazing! I was tired and had a chat with Teresa at the airport.
