Vietnam 2017

Day 30

Today I almost did nothing 🙈
I hung out at the tattoo studio all day^^ I already started to help them with bringing tissues, holding lights and stuff haha. I talked again a lot with them, with one I talked about Ho Chi Minh, he said he hates him because he’s in real a traitor of Vietnam who sold Vietnam to China but all papers who would prove that were burnt. I don’t know how much of that is true or not but I will look it up and try to understand more of the story of Vietnam. Also I have to learn Vietnamese so we can talk better about that 😅

He also told me that China is slowly trying to suck up Vietnam and that they try to ruin the Vietnamese economy by selling rice cheaper than local rice as well as other cheap and unhealthy products.
Anyways, we talked also about funnier topics like girls, visiting my home country, getting some tattoos and our future destinations 😀

We ate together some and after the shop closed three of us went to a bar, ate a bit and cheered to my last night in Saigon 😋 I also tried Oyster for the first time, it tasted pretty good!
I even got a small present from a friend in form of his cap, which looks very nice 👌
Today I got some nice pictures of tattoos!

Day 18

Today Bon picked me up and invited me to a great feast with a part of his family, not his wife and kids, but his brother and his brothers and sisters in law and more. It was very nice to see how they all eat together and the food was really really great. Before the big meal they burned some papersuits as well as paper money, Thao, the girl I rented the room from tolde that they burn all this stuff as symbolism to gift it to the dead ones so they have new suits and money and stuff in the Heaven. They also print iPhone and really everything on paper so you can burn it 😀
As far as I noticed eat the woman and kids separate from the men, but they still came over some times and talked with them. They also all drank beer, so there’s no separation there^^
After the great meal we sat there some while and then went to Bons home. I talked with one of his daughters, her english name is Alice, and she could talk very good English, especially for a 13 year old!
She had to translate everything for the others and had to ask me everything the others wanted to know 😅🙈
But is was very nice to talk with her/them and to spend just some time with a normal Vietnamese family 🙂
After that Bon drove me back to my hotel where I booked a ticket for the night bus to Da Lat and went to a nearby shop to get a new belt because mine broke apart.I had an hour until the belt should be ready and before I had to be back at my hotel, so I went to the city to buy some last souvenirs.
After that I got my belt and went to the Hotel where a small bus picked me up and brought me to the place where the sleeping bus would pick me up.
