As I write this almost two months after the fact, I still can't believe my mom and aunt were really here. We flew out of Siem Reap in the morning. Why oh why do I torture myself with 12 hour bus rides? Why? It was so seamless. So gentle. Stayed at the airport for two hours waiting for their arrival ... this perhaps was just as painful as a 12 hour bus ride;). Then, they were just here. All I could do was try and contain my excitement. To remain calm so that I could navigate the crazy world of HCMC transportation. We finally got to the house, unloaded a bit, gave a quick house tour and were off again. I decided due to time that the motorbike was best. So I gave my mom a helmet, put her on the back of my bike an we were off. I'm still surprised at how calm and collected she was. When I first arrived, I was overwhelmed and honestly, totally freaked out on the back of a bike. She, however, loved it. You rock, Mom.
