Be wary of the vegetables!

I spent all of yesterday in bed, ate something bad and was incredibly sick all day... I'll spare the details. Well, I knew it would happen eventually, that's just how things are here. I blame it on the tomatoes! The people who own the guest house were so nice about it, the mother brought me up some hot lemon tea and noodles later in the night. But Hey! It could be worse... my pal Steve hasn't been able to walk for two days, his toe got bitten by a spider and it was so painful he thought it was broken! He got an X-Ray for 3 dollars and then they figured out it was a spider bite. I didn't realize there were super dangerous spiders here, just one more thing to add to my list to be wary of.
Anywho- my friend Oanh is bringing a bicycle over for me in 10 minutes. She had it fixed up and said I could borrow it for the month, honestly she is such a sweetheart! When she found out I was sick yesterday she offered to bring over healthy foods, herbal teas, and other things of that sort. I feel so undeserving! I am meeting her and Hung for coffee tomorrow to work on their English/ my Vietnamese.
So it's supposed to be raining for the remainder of the week. I have not gotten around to getting a raincoat yet, I definitely need to start looking for a heavy duty poncho. It is definitely not too enjoyable taking a motorbike taxi to class and getting my nice teaching clothes soaked. Looks like I'll be heading to the biggest market in Ho Chi Minh after class tomorrow (Ben Tanh Market) which is conveniently located right across the street from the TEFL building.
Despite the rain, I am going to stand outside and wait for Oanh, I feel bad enough she is bringing the bike to me at night in the rain. I tried to convince her to old off until nicer weather, but she would hear nothing of it.
BYE!
