I can't sleep. Why? No idea. I have most of the major boxes checked....job, apartment, and acquainting myself with the city. I should be sleeping like a baby especially since I switched hotels today. After another guest at my last hotel was able to unlock my door with his key, I decided it wasn't a safe place anymore. He was completely mortified and apologized....honest mistake on his part. However, not a mistake or practice the hotel should ever allow. So I upgraded to a better hotel....it's amazing what $20 more a night will get you in Saigon!
I feel more secure and comfortable here....better bed, normal hotel locks on the door and more knowledgeable staff. So why can't I sleep?
Maybe I am anxious about starting work on Sunday already. Maybe I have motorbikes on the mind since that's the next big purchase. Maybe I am bummed that the only person I kinda know here hasn't returned my texts.
Well, I need to sleep at least a little since I have a big day tomorrow. I hired a motorbike driver to take me out to my new school to meet with my manager, get my class schedule and materials plus help me do some shopping. I need to buy a motorbike helmet, a poncho, health insurance, a shoulder bag for work and do some couch shopping. My apartment is mostly furnished but no couch.
Signing off for now.....hopefully the sandman will visit me soon instead of another uninvited guest!
