well today started off rather weird... its like everywhere i went in the morning, i encountered a weird situation... first person i met today was the cab driver... he was quite nice throughout the journey... started talking about where i was going what i was doing there etc... then when we were near the airport he asked me... "so how is the red light district there?" so i thought he was asking about the security level... i replied "oh it is everywhere they dont really have a featured red light district. but vietnam is just as safe as singapore." then we started talking about the safety and communism. then just before he dropped me he asked "so how are the girls there?" i was like "erm... i dont know" then he said "have you tried any of them are they good?" i was like a bit awkward and said "no..." then he said "oh then you wont know the price right?" then i said "no..." man that was so weird... it is like the first time someone asks me about prostitutes and actually meant it... like wth....
ok second weird man i met... i boarded the plane happily sat next to this nice malay man... we started talking and introducing ourselves... he was quite nice... i started telling him about vietnam, where to go, what to do... the usual... me and my blabbering about vietnam that you all should know by heart by now... but oh well... so we talked and talked... then he said "let me introduce you to something" started to fiddle around with his bag and stuff.. pulled out a dvd and a dvd player... and played the dvd... and no it was not porn... turned out to be some promotional video about how some guy started an organic farm his business grew to sell organic products and health products... so he was basically trying to enthise me to join some multi level marketing thing for the products... after he was done he showed me some more videos... so for about and hour i watched product promotional videos that housewives would watch.. like videos on their product and their effectiveness compared to other normal product bla bla bla... when the flight stewardess said " we are now preparing for our desend...... please put away all electronic devices..." i was like "THANK GOD!!!" and he leaned over and said... "actually the flight is not really long... when we chat like that we loose track of time" in my mind i was going "that was the longest one hour in my life."
ok then when i landed and came out of the airport, i met my dad's colleague... well he isnt thaaattt weird... he was quite nice.. except there i was lasting on 2hrs of sleep... traumatised from the cab driver and bored to tears by my the person next to me... all i wanted was to sleep in the car.... and he kept talking and talking and talking and talking and talking... haizzz... anws it was a nice chat haha... but man it was really tiring to smile for so long... and you may be wondering why he came to pick me... well my dad was still sleeping and he got huy to send his collegue to the office near the airport...
anyways... lets talk about vietnam... when i landed here today, i didnt realise it at first but only when my dad's collegue mentioned it, did i realise all the motorist were wearing helmets... i was shocked... the last time i was in vietnam not a single one wore a helmet... and that was 5mnths ago... and now every one is wearing a helmet... advancements and effectiveness of communism in enforcing laws... and i heard the ruling was only made in about january febuary... fast eh... scary at times but oh well... shant blabber any longer... ill upload the pics later today...
friends always care
