I sat next to a girl, Lorraine, from the Philippines and we had a nice conversation. Her English was very good - she said that they learn English from the time they are little. She is in HCMC for work... for two months! She works for a water company and they are working on water leakage in the city.
Lorraine texted some of her co-workers and they came to 'see me' haha. They took pictures... and I had them take one with my camera too... (Lorraine is on the right.)
After coffee, I walked over to the post office and there were two Vietnamese girls crossing the street that kept looking at me... They came up to me, giggling, and one asked if they could take a picture with me - HA! I'm definitely not famous but my hair IS definitely a spectacle. I'm not sure if they like it as much as just not knowing what to make of it haha.
