Early early wake up with a really really deep sadness. I sat on my motorbike watching them leave just wishing they could stay or at least come back once a month. I was full of tears all day. Arrived at my afternoon class to get an invitation to lunch in lieu of class which I very gratefully accepted. We sat on the second floor of a nondescript, District One restaurant at long low to the ground stainless steel tables with tiny blue plastic chairs. Course after course arrived while I tried to get information about exactly what it was that we were eating. I came to find out after about three hours, a few beers and some fabulous rice wine that we were eating goat and many interesting goat parts. The translation is as follows: nipple, bone marrow, leg, head, and, most importantly brain. I arrived home comforted in a strange way. With very swollen eyes, a heavy heart and some wonderful texts from mom, I went to bed - at 7pm and didn't wake up for 12 hours.
