Ho Chi Minh 16 Nov

Another morning spent talking with T-Mobile.  So much fun it’s painful!  Just kidding.  Just painful.  We have reset everything.  Even tower things.  Nothing is helping.  Always error 28.  I have murderous thoughts about the AI in their phone tree.

The ineptitude is palpable.

I did not intend to do much walking today.  I stayed nearby.  But in fact I put in a lot of walking in spite of myself.  Also shot 500 pictures.

I started out just heading toward this small park hoping to get a shot of a lizard or something interesting and putting some miles between me and my phone woes.  Though I went there by a particularly circuitous route.  These things happen.

Still no luck with the lizards.  I made some audio recordings and shot some various birds as best I could.  Lousy models, birds.  It’s like they don’t even care.

I met and talked with an entrepreneur who helps other Vietnamese improve their image and brand.  Good guy.  Enthusiastic about the future.  If only I needed my image improved!

There is not a lot of wall art in graffiti styles here.

Sneaked in for a little gelato fix before heading to find a meal.  I just spun around on the map until I spotted something that looked interesting.  In this case a coffee house and smoke house called Roast and Smoke Thao Dien.  Strange collision.  Think of it like a coffee shop specializing in smoked brisket.

Back home for a bit of exercise and a dip in the pool.  Type this.  Pass out.  See you!
