"ask ur bf y he needed u to be his gf.."
another question.
"why boys can have more than 1 gf but girls cant?"
"why boys can flirt but girls cant talk to other boys when they're in a relationship?"

SKVA 3443

Ayant terminé une semaine chargée de travail importante la semaine dernière, j'ai décidé de prendre des vacances pour quelques jours au Vietnam. Je profite de mes enfants avec moi. Nous sommes partis le dimanche après-midi de l'aéroport. Comme nous y arrivons, nous avons pris un taxi et est allé directement à l'hôtel dans le centre de la ville. C'est un hôtel confortable mais bon marché pour rester. L'endroit était bondé de gens tels étonnant dans la région. Après un long voyage, nous avons l'intention de se reposer avant d'aller à l'activité du lendemain.

Le lendemain, nous avons notre petit déjeuner dans un petit café. Le prix est abordable. La nourriture est grande aussi. Les gens étaient tous vêtus de vêtements simples comme maillot et pantalons courts, robe décente, mais gentil. Je dois convenir que le temps est si grand. Il n'est pas trop chaud et les sentiments de celle-ci ont été agréables.

Près une (selon les normes vietnamiennes) voyage rapide et sûre de bus, nous arrivons à une petite zone d'habitat dans le delta du Mékong. Ancienne vietnamienne était assis dans la poussière sur le côté de la route goudronnée de craquage, boire du thé glacé et de ne rien faire du tout. Un peu gens dormaient, une écolière déchaussé rentrait chez lui. De vieilles femmes s'accroupit et ramassa les tiges à partir de piments rouges minuscules. Quelques vaches erraient, le trafic tonné passé et dans l'air étouffant il y avait une odeur de fermentation de noix de coco. Partout dans le Delta il ya des énormes tas de coquilles de noix de coco, qui a débuté il ya longtemps et complété par les générations successives, des décennies la chair de noix de coco poussière, tout au soleil.

J'ai un problème fondamental pour passer du temps avec un "étranger" parce que je ne parle pas du tout étranger. Après une demi-heure après il a été montré dans le silence avec mes enfants (il y en avait deux sœurs, 20 ans et avec un mauvais anglais) vaste collection de vidéos pop thaïlandaise et vietnamienne, ils savoir que. Puis ils m'ont fait visiter. Visite est une bonne chose pour les familles vietnamiennes plus traditionnels - d'honorer un invité de la politesse vietnamienne tient à se rendre chaque membre de la famille autour. Après quatre ou cinq périodes de la séance gauchement avec les grands-mères ("My grandmother want know how old âge you" "Dix-neuf" "Muoi chin" "Ahh! Muoi chin muoi chin!!"). Je sentais que mon expérience “authentique” était complète. J'ai eu plein de bambou cadeaux en qui coûtent 5000D, et je voulais voir quelques néons de nouveau. Malheureusement, j'avais été là pendant 5 heures et ne partait pas avant le lendemain.

Nous sommes allés au parc. Au milieu du delta du Mékong, à 45 minutes en voiture de l'autoroute la plus proche de et dans une zone où les gens pataugent toujours dans les jardins, et aller au lit quand la nuit tombe, le gouvernement vietnamien a décidé de construire parc. Mais il n'est pas facile à apprivoiser la jungle! Il ya une rose géante sculpture d'un bloc de lotus vous d'entrer dans le parc. Le lac avec des poissons est entouré par un monorail. (pourrir coco et un monorail pour l'amour de Dieu!) Et dans un coin sombre est une cage en fil lumière de lien chaîne avec des alligators énorme.

"Je sais! Lézards! Beaucoup, beaucoup de la faim, mangeurs d'hommes lézards! Nous ne voulons pas construire un dispensaire ou une école - nous allons leur donner un peu d'alligators. Ils doivent les nourrir aussi! Et un étang. Qu'ils ne voient pas beaucoup de poissons dans le delta du Mékong, et un étang serait un bon repos. Et puis, nous allons mettre un monorail autour de l'étang, afin que les gens peuvent voir les poissons et d'alligators d'en haut!” Je paraphrase, mais quelqu'un avec autorité l'a dit.

Je me demande qui nettoie une cage de quatre mètres carrés encombrée d'alligators sous-alimentés. Je me demande combien de temps il faut pour que les gens s'ennuient de voir les créatures qui se trouvent juste sous le soleil toute la journée. Je me demande si, lorsque la maille de la rouille cage, tout le monde va le réparer. Et combien de temps faut-il, une fois que ce jour arrive, un enfant qui s'ennuie à donner un coup trop fort avec un bâton et découvrent soudain à la dure que une vieille un court de tennis clôture est la protection ne suffisent pas partir d’une 35 folle reptile pierre.

Ce soir nous sommes allés à une foire. Ce fut un assez modeste faire - seulement 5 stands et une scène principale - mais a été assisté par un couple de centaines de personnes. Dans les 30 secondes toutes les personnes, il y avait autour de moi entourer. Ils n'étaient pas conscients de l'auto elle ou rien, ils sont tout simplement venus regarder tout ce que j'ai fait. Mes enfants et je suis finalement assis et a tenté de communiquer par l'intermédiaire de papier et stylo, et a fait semblant de comprendre mutuellement lors d'une centaine de Vietnamiens nous écrit de tous côtés, se penchant si près de leurs oreilles étaient les nôtres touchante.

Obligé d'attendre jusqu'à ce que le culminant (une chanteuse transsexuelle), nous avons détalé et se cacha dans un café voisin, en attendant le show principal départ. Quand il ne nous sommes retournés et ont été immédiatement attribué des sièges juste devant la scène. A 5 pieds 9 pouces ‘femme’ vietnamienne est sorti et a commencé à chanter en vietnamien. Puis un autre, puis un autre. Que diable sont des garçons dame fait dans le Delta?! Les Vietnamiens ont adoré - pour eux, la performance est à mi-musical, mi-freak show.

Quelqu'un de poussée d'un billet de bingo dans ma main, une de ces filages sphères de plein de petites boules lumineuses roues était sur la scène. "Bonjour vous! Bonjour Monsieur Occidental! Vous venez nous aider?" (Oh mon dieu). "Bonjour! Vous parlez anglais? (Sourire, secouer la tête, détourner le regard. Ils ont perdu l'intérêt. Crise évitée.)

Le lendemain, après une nuit choquant sur un lit de bambou, j'ai été autorisés à dormir dans exactement jusqu'à l'aube. Puis nous sommes allés au marché. Marchés vietnamiens sont au centre de la vie de les plus proches communautés et la zone environnante. Ceux des villes ont l'ordre, les adresses internes et des cartes, mais dans les zones rurales, ils sont un méli-mélo des hideux faibles, rouillés, Sharp toits de tôle ondulée et de tuyaux d'écoulement, en vertu de laquelle les mouches bourdonnent, les enfants courent et l'odeur de la viande au chaud et le sang est partout. Ils vendent des choses les plus surprenantes. Au milieu de stands sur les aliments et les vêtements sont des stalles pour les jouets pour enfants. Action figures, les peu plastique voitures, un clavier et guitares qui jouent une seule note.

Ensuite, il ya sur les décrochages de la musique technologie. Ces gens adorent le karaoké, et donc dans leurs maisons où ils ont (en plus à un téléviseur et lecteur DVD) à 30 niveaux molette de bord et un égaliseur graphique. Kit qui ferait honneur à n'importe quel DJ - juste pour la famille peut écouter de la pop vidéo. Au milieu de la viande pourrie et les importations en provenance de Taïwan, il ya 5 pied parleurs et consoles de mixage! Ils doivent mettre en place des lustres pour acheter ces choses.

Dans l'après midi nous sommes allés visiter plus de famille dans le Delta. C'était fantastique, avec de la croisière à moto sur les chemins de terre. De chaque côté des petites rivières, presque caché derrière les mangroves, glissa paresseusement par. Bas bateaux glissé en douceur de haut en bas sur l'eau brune placide. Tombes de la famille en la jungle profonde; ornées et aux couleurs pastel, entouré par les feuilles vert sombre et troncs. D'irrigation pour maintenir la nappe phréatique à distance et de marquer son territoire. Étonnamment, une ou deux fois nous voyions un énorme 4 étage maison. Ornée, bien entretenu, mais clairement pas vécu dedans. Puis un antre de planches pourries et une bâche enfilée avec une corde qui servait de maison pour 10 personnes.

Nous avons pris le bus à domicile 3pm. À 3h15 nous avons rebroussé chemin. À 3h30, nous étions de retour où nous avions commencé. À 3h45 nous avons ramassé un passager et demi-tour! Elle avait 15 minutes pour attendre le bus suivant, et nous sommes retournés pour elle! Nous ont finalement été repris par le bus dans lequel elle aurait dû être en.

Donc, ce fut la fin de celui-ci. Les vapeurs d'essence de Saigon jamais senti si doux, les lumières jamais été aussi brillant. Bien que je n'avais jamais dire que j'ai eu du bon temps, mais il a été précieux, authentique, et tous les autres trucs que ce n'est pas amusant, mais bon pour vous. Je ne veux pas laisser entendre le Delta est un endroit horrible, mais sérieusement, il est - si vous voulez vous amuser quand même.
