Travel reflection from Saigon, freewrite (might be boring)

This is just a quick freewrite. I think I got food poisoning 2 days ago, but I took azithromycin as soon as I felt my body just barely starting to feel sick, and pow! I think it kicked the shit out of the infection. Because within 36 hours I had a 99.5F fever, but by 48 hours the fever broke, and by maybe 60 hours I felt recovered. Which is remarkable because I tend to heal slowly. It's likely that azithromycin was effective against the infecting pathogen in this instance, because I've never had such a quick recovery after a fever. I also did a rapid antigen and was COVID negative, so ruled that out. Usually after a fever, I'd still be sluggish, or weak, or have chills, or sensitive to cold temperatures for like 7-20 days after (lol), or develop a cough or something, but nah.

So yeah, I basically recovered super fast.

I also started taking some Vietnamese lessons for the first time. About time, considering how much immersion and Google Translate learning I'd done. Perhaps overdue. But that's okay. Anyway, I'm enjoying it. Just a few days of classes because after Saigon I'm off to Dalat. This first class we did numbers and time (calendar). Super great, I could already see the results kicking in because my comprehension of numbers went way up as I went to dinner and dealt money.

This freewrite is kinda boring, sorry, it's just a recollection of the day as I'm getting ready to sleep.
