Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh
Since I got to Saigon. It has been a struggle. Trying to speak, understand, process everything here. How people live their lives, how my family has changed so much since the last time I was here in 2001. I'm struggling with my background, my family's past. It's been an interesting experience. Not good, not bad. It's interesting. I feel like I need to come back to CA already, but I still have 2 or 3 more weeks.
I've been thinking about friends, family, love, and home. I've been up late at night until 1AM thinking about people because I was unable to sleep.
One of my aunts in-laws is a palm reader. She read my palm. Said, I've been hurt, that I'm a very lonely person. That I would cry myself to sleep. How I don't like conflict, or arguments and yelling. But also, that I like helping people. It was interesting having my palm and signature read.
She also said I don't have much friends that who are really close to me. Just friends to hang out with and go out with, but not someone on a more intimate level. I knew I would be a lonely person, and this confirmed it.
My time in Saigon has, indeed, been an interesting one. Trying to understand the perspectives of the people here. I feel like I'm being tied, or a forced commitment, into the family, that when I am done with law school, I send money back to Vietnam to support them.
Time for me to leave this public computer place to go to my maternal grandmother's house.
Don't really know what is going on inside my head...
