Vietnam and Me #2/3

I am certain it would take much more times for you to read the stories on this story/series of “Vietnam and Me”. That’s why I decided to have it into some parts. Alright, welcome to the second one then!

During my extension of vacation (yes, it was no longer delegation activities), I stayed in two different guesthouses. I did not have any ticket to go home and purchased it during the program. That decision somehow was a case of any port in a storm as I did not expect the price increase would lead me to stay some more days though. But, when the positivity hit me, it looked as if a good thing for me despite this! LOL

Thus, in DNC, I had other friends I met during my summer camp in Thailand plus Cole’s sister (Cole is one of those friends I referred). Two of them were just perfect! I could not type any word to perfectly describe their treatment and how they made Vietnam more and more like a home for me:’)

And after that, there were still a lot of lovely moments I possesed in Vietnam -which-would-be-super-long-to-type-in-this-platform. This experience was also marked as the first time I did live out of my suitcase (which was physically a backpacker instead) throughout a country.

I should end the first Vietnam stories asap, so I am doing it now to make sure we have spaces for another version of “Vietnam and Me”. Yes, I know it is the second post already, sorry?

Again, I was not sure if I contact my memory well enough, but I thought I applied for a program to Myanmar at the beginning of 2017 in hoping I could regrant another chance to use my passport again for the third year or simply because I started to own itchy feet as a regular symptom. Another shortcut to this story, I was offered to join the EO to participate in their volunteering program not in Myanmar, but in Vietnam, in Hanoi specifically.

I was overwhelmed because it was just better than I expected. I mean, it felt like they got me a call to “go home” you know what I meant?

Well, it was Hanoi, one more part of Vietnam that I have not gone to see, yet worry not, because I was also as fortunate since I have other friends there to catch-up.

For this, I didn't tell any of my Vietnamese friends even until I publish this writing. At first place, I wanted to surprise them after I had my ticket ready. I bet I was not the only who would be excited for this. Wasn’t I?

Then, did I really have my ticket?
