update

esther left this morning, after a week of taking care of me. it was so great to have someone who knew the city so well and can speak vietnamese! i feel a bit like a dog who's lost his owner.
i got really ill yesterday (still recovering). thought i could hit up the ethnic museum in the morning, but spent the entire time curled up in a fetal position in the lobby while esther and trang looked around. came back and didn't move from my hotel room bed until this morning. quite feverish - maybe a flu or stomach bug or something. feel much better today thankfully - as esther is now gone.
the weather is 40 degrees and not relenting. i might just take it easy today and not try to squeeze too much in. still feel a bit queezy...

Poor Justine! I'm glad you're better. I bet you can't tell when it's 40 degrees if you've got a fever or not, unless you're actually cold??? It does sound like a nasty one-off virus. I loved going around Vietnam with Esther too - she really managed the language and way of life well. Look after yourself, Justine!

Hi Justine! Esther's back but really jet-lagged: getting up at 3am, and packing it in in the afternoon! She also found our 35 degrees really cool! Hope you're fully back to normal!
