The last full day in Saigon and the long trip home: a nickname for a new nephew, Mì Quảng, gỏi đu đủ khô bò and chè Thái, a gold shop full of American class rings, karaoke by the river, bánh mì and 25,000-dong bún chả cá, packing for Qatar, goodbyes at Tân Sơn Nhất, and an anniversary story told from a quiet corner of the Doha airport.
Back in Saigon for the last days of the trip: a Vietjet hop from Da Nang, dinner at Brick & Barrel in the rain, a morning walk along the Vàm Thuật, bún bò and a long wander through the alleys, an Italian sub from Big Boss Bistro, bún chả cá in Chợ Phạm Văn Hai, a new nephew, and roast duck and pork for dinner.
