Chuc mung nam moi means happy new year, this night millions of people are going to change of year (the TET). Vietnam gonna be have one week off. They gather for familly party. Amazing to see a whole fa;illy coming back from saigon to their family village in motocycles (fous peoples more the luggages)!!
As you see i m in vietnam, I ve been in Can THo biggest city on the delta Mekong. Now I stay in Saigon (secand nam e Ho chi MInh). I ve nerver seen so many motocycles in my life, it never stop, it s a forest of motocycles!!!. When you cross a road you hace to stop go stop go stop go stop...you cross a road in 6 or 7 steps.
I counted yesterday it s impossible to have a while of 20 second without hearing a bip. In 1990 it was full of bycicles, in 2000 full of motocycles I can t imagine in 2010 the when it gonna be full of cars.
I m meeting good people too here. For instance, i asked in the bus where i had to get off to student, they didn t know english, they call a friend of them and by phone i explained to me, when i get off he was there to show me my way.
THat s the problem there , its like in France, most of the peole don t speak english (even the youngs).
In the reception of my hotel there was a aquarium full of snake. IT WAS SO awful ..good way to be hospitable!!!!I just hoped they didn t escaped fot the night.
I went in a VIP disco for the golden young, when you ve pee someone make you a back massage, when you move in the disco security guard show you your way, every 5 mn the waiter full up your glasses and when you leave you ve to shack the hand of the managers...
I notice that vietnamese people really love money...for instance....you re alone and you order a coffee...she askyou how many coffe do you want ( ussually i say ten , for kidding) if you re alone you re supposed to order one!!!, after she suggest you to take some cookies at least two times. When you finish your coffee she ask you if you want another one. When it s time to pay she charge you two coffees .. i yell her and she tell me to shut up in order that the other vietname and foreigner don t notice that she is dishonest.
