day 4 in Vietnam – super quick update

Day 4 in Vietnam, 4th night of drinking. It’s been a real drinking craze but I do enjoy the fun. The best drink has to be the red wine that I got a few sips from Rich. I realised I started to appreciate the beauty of wine already.

Still trying my best to fit into this physically and mentally challenging environment. I’ve been adapting well into the this environment. The fact that when I am able to order a French sandwiches in Vietnamese without English, I know I am doing it right. Just that my commitment and demands towards myself has actually decelerated the process of fitting myself in this big pictures. I’ve been pushing myself hard to deliver to my full capacity but I guess I still need to be more focused and smart in getting things done in the most efficient manner.

It was truly a real good sharing from Rich over the forget-the-name bars, about getting into relationship with local Vietnamese girls, about some nightlife of Vietnam, the girls and the business environment. This is pretty true, Vietnamese girls are too cute to be resisted, and most importantly they are just about everywhere. You can get over your temptations with your belief and faith this time but a hundred times of swinging on the watermelon hung on the aire by the blindfolded, you will eventually have something red on the floor.

Of course I am not that shallow about getting some girls over the bars, had a few talk and end up on the bed. It’s truly tempting going to a bar/ club with an identify of an expat. I guess it’s the thing in our wallet that admires them more than any other things else. It’s not something i am looking for, and I will really need something to constant remind me about who I am, what I am doing here in Vietnam, and where I envisioned I’ll be in a few years time.

Day 4 n Vietnam, it’s about learning to live independently in this society that is full of temptations. It’s about learning to be conscious and clear about what I truly want, and what the fucking heck am I doing at every single possible moment. Even the moment I decided to pick up a girl in a random bar.
