#354339 - Thankfully, there was no bitchiness; I had feared Trinh and Ping in this regard, but with Kim steering matters in a mature, older aunty-figure way, it continued as a convivial lunch of friends, and with Ping opting for beer also, the three younger girls were soon suitably relaxed. I went for a new beer, hot with all this studying, but sure they would all look great in photos. Long dropped off Kim and Phung, they politely thanked Long and me for the day, then Trinh to her apartment building; she kissed both me and Ping on the cheeks, also thanked Long, and then Ping and I unloaded the gear at my house, where I gave Long a generous tip for his Sunday work, in addition to the double-time salary pay he would receive, and he went home.
