Enjoyed a quick room service breakfast of pho, congee, and croissants. Took a taxi to the airport, and used the last of our small-ish bills for a tip.

We have refrained from “dong” jokes this whole time.

On the plane, Vietnam airlines showed a video about the “echoes of the past.” I remarked on our short voyage in this proud country, eager for self-determination and development. It seems like they are doing okay, fifty years on from the devastation our country wrought. I hope the next fifty are even better for us both.

It took me a long time to find this video, so it’s memorialized here.
