Well, today marks my last day in Ho Chi Minh City, and I will miss it very dearly. Over these past two weeks, I have learned more Interesting facts, made more new friends, and had more fun than I have had in a Very long time! Today at UEF, we said our goodbyes to our language and cultures teachers, and we participated in a Cultural Exchange. We spoke with the UEF students about how college life in the states compares with college life in Vietnam, and we also played many weird yet very fun games with the students. After we said our goodbyes, our group travelled to a soccer field and partook in a game between our group and the UEF students. Needless to say we lost, albeit not by much (I believe the score was 5 to 3?) After saying goodbye to the last of our UEF friends, our group travelled to a resort for our goodbye dinner.....In a monsoon. The dinner was delicious and we stayed dry (for the most part), but the fact that we were leaving the place we've been calling home for the past two weeks was weighing heavy on our minds and hearts. Now that we've said goodbye to Tin and Anh as well, most of us have decided to stay up all night until we head to the Saigon Airport at 4:00 AM tomorrow morning. What a wonderful experience this trip has been! This is Tom Bush signing off.
