Going solo
Thanks to somebody’s influence, I went on a solo overseas trip, back to a place where I am quite familiar – HCMC, Vietnam.
I did not enjoy this trip as much as I did with my band mates, probably due to a number of factors:
- I did not have a partner to talk cock with
- Reading Tuesdays with Morries reminds me of many things
- bad planning, with nothing on the itinerary
It’s not all disastrous as I managed to do some shopping/bargaining and met up with a good friend there. The main highlight of this trip is probably the trip to Cao Dai Temple and Cu Chi Tunnel. Being very conservative, I do have many opinions about the temple and the religion, but I guess I have to learn to take it as another cultural experience. The pain of the trip is probably the boredom, long bus rides and headache. The headache happened twice throughout this trip, which I suspect it’s due to sleeping in the sitting position for long hours.
I tried to take some pictures with my 3MP camera phone, but it turn out quite bad.
After this trip, I guess I have not brought back anything other than some of the bargains from the market and liquor from the DFS. Of course, I did many reflection on life during this period, thanks to Tuesdays with Morries, but I guess there are many things that I still yet to thing through.
So lesson learnt… hopefully, next trip will be a better one…
