Ear Cleaning

This is a down day from all of our travels. A chance to just sit back and relax and breath in the smog-filled air of Saigon. We start they day off with a cup of coffee, one of 5 for the day. I decide to get a haircut with all the fixin's. All this for 20K dongs ($1.25). Apparently all the fixin's means something a little different here. They cut my hair, give me a shave, head massage, face mask, and the best part, the ear cleaning. They use a series of delicate instruments to remove your ear wax. It sounds scary, but it's the best feeling in the world. In terms you can all understand, I would say it feels as good as getting head. No joke. Amanda decides to brave it after hearing our discussions. She really enjoys it, as evident by Ho's video of her toes curling up during the process. She will be doing it again.


Anny's mom throws us an informal dinner gathering, as a way for the family to meet their newest member, me. It's kind of awkward and feels like a formal wedding reception. It goes by and we head out to a nice coffee shop afterwards. Everyone has coffee or ice cream except for Joe and Tit, who decide to venture into the land of alcohol. Being only 80-something pounds, it doesn't take much for Tit to get fucked up. She's pretty much blitzed after her 2nd black russian. We head back home to sleep while Tit is hugging the toilet the rest of the night.
