Today was our last day in Vietnam. We started off the day at an indoor stadium
where we played the UEF students in soccer and basketball. The stadium wasn’t air conditioned, so it was
as hot inside as it was outside. I had
never played in heat that brutal before, so I was losing my breath almost as
soon as I started playing. It was really
impressive to see how good of athletes the Vietnamese were because they seemed
almost unaffected by the heat, while all of us were really struggling. So, with this in mind, the Vietnamese
students kicked our butts in both sports.
They were really good! After the
games were over we all went back and relaxed for a little while because we were
all so tired. Once we had rested for a
while, we met up with some of the Vietnamese students and went to a coffee shop
again. I am going to miss the Vietnamese
coffee, it is so much better than the coffee in America. Then, the UEF took us to a secluded road
where they let us try out their motorbikes under their supervision. It was really cool to try them out and see
the differences from driving a car in America.
When we came back, we had to check out from the hotel because we were
leaving at 3 AM in the morning. Checking out was a pretty sad moment because it
started to set in that we were actually leaving. After we checked out we said goodbye to most
of the UEF students, which was another pretty sad moment because we knew we
probably weren’t going to see them again.
We do at least have Facebook to keep in touch, so I will at least be
able to talk to them when we’re halfway across the world from each other. To end the night we went to a restaurant on a
boat in the river. It was the perfect
place to end the trip because we ate on the boat and then it rode around the
river so we could see the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh. I will never forget the views that I have
seen here, they are amazing. So, that’s
it. We leave soon and the last ones with us are Tin, D, and D’s cousin
Krystal. They are coming to the airport
with us and we will say goodbye to them there.
So until next time, xin chao Vietnam!
