LEAVING!

December 23
Saturday

As I went up to check in my bags at the Asian airline, they informed me that my baggage was over weight. I didn’t know what to do so I just simply just batted my eyes and said I have never flown with this airline before and they let me go by with a warning. Good thing too because that would be pretty embarrassing if I had to send clothes home with Kim and Ben. My luggage was actually over weight because Ben and Kim asked me to take presents to their friends, which Kim set it up for her friends and I to meet one day. Their planning on making or taking us (Gatz and I) to dinner, either way I’m excited to meet them.
The plane ride was ok. I was planning on just sleeping the whole time and I would have if it weren’t for the stewardess, she insisted on waking me up and asking if I wanted to eat. It was a nice gesture, but come on! I was sleeping, does it even seem remotely like I want to eat dinner at 1 in the morning. Either way I just got situated again and fell back asleep. Getting off the plane I was greeted by a taxi driver. He wanted to make sure I had a ride. In fact he wanted to know so badly that he approached me 3 different times. Finally the 3 time he called Gatz for me using his cell phone. He told her what gate number to pick me up at and asked how long she would be. This would never happen in Cambodia. I waited for an hour in the airport then Gatz and I took a bus ride home. She bought me some fruit, and we just drank some tea and fell asleep talking on the couch. We ended up sleeping for about 3 and a half hours. Later that night we got dressed and went out on the town. She took me to this little restaurant where she visits quit often. I ate kim bop. Rice but with a twist, you add all kinds of vegetables. It was really good. I felt like I had a rock in my stomach thought because all I have been eating the last four months is fruit, eating heavy meals is hard on me. Either way the first day-night was good.
