Day 109

Last full day in Saigon, got up at 6:00am and walked to Tao Dan Park and when I arrived I saw the runner who I had a conversation with yesterday and he stopped to shake my hand and we talked a little more and then he continued on with his run while I walked around the park.

Trying to make it out of Vietnam without having to visit an ATM again, I am down to my last 80,000d, 15,000 of which I am carrying with me for tomorrow's bus ride to the airport which should cost 5,000d, but I always like to have a little extra for unexpected chaos. I am currently sitting in the general science library and when I leave here I plan to buy a pack of sushi and a coke, that should leave me with 10,000d, not sure how to spend it, maybe a bottle of water and a snack of some sort.

I read today that 5g phone networking is starting in Chicago in April, before leaving on my trip I watched as each street corner was filled with mini cell towers. I believe I am sensitive to the radiation waves which is emitted from wifi routers and towers and 5g is going to increase the load of those waves. When I was first exposed to a wifi router my ears began ringing and they have ever since, it is a poor way to live but nothing I can do will stop the ringing. I was also frequently waking up in the middle of the night and my energy levels were lower than they should have been, sure it is partly because of old age but I also think it is partly caused by all of the radiation in the atmosphere. Since coming to SE Asia, which does have wifi, for whatever reason my sleep has been uninterrupted and my energy and health higher and better. I therefore am not looking forward to returning to a 5g enabled city. If I notice my health deteriorating during the first few months of 5g I will plan to move out of Chicago when my lease ends in November, 2019.

Spent the same amount of money this week as last, one reason being I wanted to see if I could avoid making a trip to the ATM and it looks like I succeeded, I have 20,000d left to spend, 5,000d should get me on the airport bus and the rest I can donate to someone at the airport.
