5th day in Vietnam (Ba Ria)

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I finally got some sleep!!!

Last night I couldn't sleep at all and it was dreadful! I seriously can't stand really cold or hot conditions and last night I experienced them both! I slept in my grandma's room with the air-con on right and I began with the sneezing and sniffling. I really wanted to turn the air-con off and turn on the fan but couldn't coz there were others sleeping in the room and I didn't want to be a nuisance. SO I continued with the sniffling, sneezing and coughing one after the other until i couldn't stand it and went outside to sleep. I made sure to spray on the Aeroguard before I slept outside coz there were no mosquito nets so I was basically sleeping on a rock-hard bed with no covers. Since I couldn't spray the Aeroguard on my face, i was so paranoid that I'd wake up with bites all over my face so I couldn't really sleep. I was feeling a little better to be away from the air-con until it got really hot (coz I didn't turn the fan on) and ended up with a runny nose!!! Grrrrrr!!! I began to sweat so I ran back in the room. What do you know... runny nose turned into the sniffles and coughing again until it woke up my uncle and he turned off the air-con for me BUT didn't turn on the fan (probably coz it was directly above him and it would've been blowing on his face). Far out, i got a little better until it started to get really hot without the fan or air-con and by then I had rubbed my eyes so badly it had began to swell up. I ended up getting up and going straight outside to the living room and turned the fan on and sat right in front of it. I swear I couldve just slept-sitting right then and there until I saw the hammock behind me and laid on it. By then it was 5:30am and i managed to rest my eyes for half an hour before my cousin was up for school and my grandpa was up for his morning jog. Vietnam awoke whilst I ran back into the room, turned on the fan and went to sleep!!!! I managed to sleep for a few hours before my grandpa came in and told me to eat. At first I said no but after his second attempt, I decided to wake up but PRAYED that i could get back to sleep after breakfast.

After breakfast, I took a shower to refresh myself from last night's mess, took some medication and went back into my grandma's room to sleep but the sniffles and sneezing returned!!!! Ahhhh!!! I finally decided to go into my grandpa's room this time to sleep and there... with the fan on and no noise, I finally slept safe and sound until 4:30pm, yay!!!!!!!!

Since my uncle and aunt have returned to AUS yesterday, I can now have my grandpa's room to myself! YAY!!!
