Three of our teammates were robbed today. They were shopping today at a mall where there are usually lots of foreigners because of the availability of western products there. As they were making their way through a crowded place, their purses were slashed. One teammate lost her brand new camera, the other lost her passport and wallet with $200USD and a debit card inside. The third teammate quickly realized her purse was slashed and grabbed it and pulled it to the front and did not lose anything inside.
One teammate was shocked, felt intruded, and hurt. She talked to her parents, spent some quiet time by herself, and is feeling a lot better now. There's a purpose in everything, and she's feeling sad now for those who robbed her. The other teammate has been in Vietnam several years already and has gotten her place broken in a few times, so she was not too surprised.
We all realized that living here does not come without some costs.
