Story recap → dm me saying he was on a nearby island.
We met by accident in Vietnam on the 6 hour bus to the Ha Giang Loop. After the loop he went to Thailand about a month ago.

Somehow crossed paths again → hung out → got food → next morning went to the island he came from. He had 2 days there then headed to Malaysia

I've been meeting a lot of ice cream 🍨 fat and happy 🫡

New island → walk around → enjoy the weather → food → looking for a place to get PADI certified

Landed. Grab to our fancy apartment.

Driver pulls up we’re trying to figure out how the owner wants us to pay. He thinks we don’t have cash. We literally show him the cash. He goes “okay okay”… then kicks us out 2 minutes later. No clue why.

Eventually sorted the payment. Got another Grab. Made it to where we’re actually staying.

Last day of Chinese New Year here different than Vietnam 🤷‍♂️
