I'm at Mai's house in Ho Chi Minh City and it doesn't feel gross!!!! Yay. Her family is slightly better-off since her parents are/were in the military.
HCMC is the city I feel the least safe in. There are not a lot of tourist things but it's a vibrant, pulsating city, more metropolitan than Hanoi. We went to the War Remnants museum which was sobering, and walked around in all sorts of parks. I'd love to have a couple more days here.
I'm feeling very grateful for a lot of things. Grateful for my GREAT couchsurfing hosts. Grateful that I'm decent at keeping my wits about me, not getting my stuff stolen, not succumbing to scams. I've made it this far in my trip with nothing stolen, lost or missing, no flights missed, no injury or tragedy. And for that I feel very, very grateful.
