| | I am now in Sai Gon after 2 hectic weeks in the countryside! It was fun, but boring at times.
Today, I met my real dad for the first time in 15 years. I was really nervous before this, but when I met him... it was normal, I felt like I've known him since forever. I felt happy. A feeling that I've been missing the last 15 years... a father figure.

This is from last week, continuing my stay in Viet Nam. This town that I grew up in has changed so much, I missed the leaf roofs, and soil floor, hehe... but I hope it's changing for the better.
My Aunt 7 just came back, now the house is packed with love and reconnections, cousins, aunts, uncles, everythangggggg!!!
We all went visited my grandma's tomb to pay respects. I miss you grandma!!! Please watch over me and guide me to my dream life! hehe. She was a great woman, mom, and grandma. She gave birth and raised 10 children. My mom is the 9th. And now, I think grandma is really happy to see many grandchildren coming back and visit her, also her sons and daughters.
