IT'S THE LIFE!

Ninh Kieu Dist - Cai Rang Dist:
Depart at Ninh Kieu, follow the main road 1A, turn right at the Cai Rang bridge (close to the Cai Rang floating market), keep on going to the next bridge, turn right, keep on going till you see the Cai Son orchird on your left (about 500m).

Continue on the trekking , your will catch the intersection at the edge. Once turning left it will be the dead-end, you should turn right, follow the construction work- it will not last for long, so just go along (not crossing the bride), keep going straight ahead, you will end up at Long Tuyen Ward. There's a Long Tuyen jail and the Long Tuyen village (not much to see once you get to Long Tuyen, except the jail and the big graveyard of war soldiers).

Take on either the road on your left (cross the bridge to Giai Xuấn Ward) or just going staight up, there will be another bridge, on your left also (I guess it would be in the same ward 'cause those two will lead to the same 923 road. There's one more bride if you go staight ahead, it is said that it would lead to Phong Dien commune, however, that bride collapsed already. I'll check it out one day.
Turn left once coming to the road 923 will lead you back to An Binh Ward, and then follow the road 923 till you see the 1A main road.

Binh Thuy Dist. – Cai Rang Dist.
Cross the Binh Thuy bridge you will catch the Binh Thuy temple on your right. Coming inside and worship the Tiger Master. You girls will fond of having a sortilege. Today I have the fairly good one, foretelling me that I would be cheated by some of my familiars but all of those things would not become an obstacle to me ‘cause there’s always a powerful man who will be in favor of me.
Go straight ahead around 1km, you will find the Le Hong Phong street on your left, follow the street till you see an intersection, turn right, and then turn left at the corner. The Binh Thuy ancient house is on your left.

Keep on going straight, on your right, when getting outside of the house, you will come to Long Hoa Ward, the lady I asked for direction told me if we turn right at the bride, we will come to Phong Dien commune, but I didn’t try it out as it was getting dark soon.
So, I crossed the bridge and then going straight up. I think this is the most beautiful sight I’ve seen so far for the tour “through the lush countryside” ‘cause I found the very simple lifestyle of the locals then, growing vegetables, ( I caught some vegetable patch), the harvesting scene , the immense of rice field, and there’s also the football field of local kids, behind the construction work. This road ends up at An Binh church (very big church), eventually to the 923 road.

I had a fun time while riding and practising my "map skill". Jeez, actually, I still have to ask for direction alot during the trip, however, I found it would be much easy while having a look at where migh I be first so I could locate myself.

Okie, there's a trip coming up tomorrow, to Vi Thanh Ward, Hau Giang province. It's a driving time tomorrow so I supposed to be much more alert to the direction then.
Well, I think I will come and see Trung,the An Phuong owner, it's been awhile since I last contacted him, I guess he's married already. Now, time for recalling memory back then, the busines trip to Hiep Hung,....woa..woa...awesome Như!

I took a trip to Dong Thap some days ago to see the Universal jade statue of Budda at Van An temple.
we reached there by car, from the direction of My Thuan bride (not crossing the bridge), head to about 10km.

There was a legend about this statue. one day, a Thai monk dreamed of seeing a sparkling land somewhere in Canada. With the belief that would foretell something, that monk took a flight to Canada, and found that he was stepping in the land that exactly appeared in his dream, and he also believed that there must be something deep down the soil right there. He was allowed to dig the land up, and found a beautiful jade stone deep under the soil. Then, people started to believe God's spirit was sent to use through this circumstance. They made a statue called "Jade Budda for Universal peace" and this Budda statue was carried around the world, inspiring all people about the World Peace. It's already been in 3 places in Vietnam so far (Vung Tau, HCMC, Dong Thap).

Big crowd of visiting

I remember that I can still feel you
Sometimes I’m blind but I see you
You are here but so far away

The times when you wanna.. I’m missing you
Makes me feel like I’m spinning
Sometimes you get what you gain

I’m on a coaster-collision
Am not about to give in
Can’t explain my position or the condition that I’m in.

Where I am is no limit, no walls, no ceilings
No intermission, so let
Let the party begin.

(Chorus)
Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow

Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow

Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me?
Oooow

Don’t you mean that you’re my vision
I gotta make a decision
Do I go, do I stay? (Stay)

You’ve gotten into my system
You are in control of my mental
I need to mean for a stay …

I’m on a coaster-collision
Am not about to give in
Can’t explain my position or the condition that I’m in.

Where I am is no limit, no walls, no ceilings
No intermission, so let
Let the party begin

(Chorus)
Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow

Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow

Oooow Oooow Oooow Oooow Oooow Oooow
Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me?

Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Can You Hear Me?
