daily journal, tour, my knowledge
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!

tour, daily journal
Well,...there's a lot of things happened recently. It's been a while since I left this blog uncared.
There was an exciting trip that I've just experienced in the 30 April. We came to An Giang and Kien Giang. Actually,it was not such kind that 's what so-called "Journey" , but somehow I feel the freedom and liberty, a little bit of fun time with those people I first met for the first time.
Day 1: An Giang province- one night in Chau Doc, having seafood at the local restaurant.
Day 2: Head to Sam mountain, the second time on top of the mountain (I remembered my first time was in Cat Ba islet, Quang Ninh province). It's not such a high mountain, but it was fun when being able to reach the top after all those harsh of laziness and tiredness, The Cham village, and Cham temple. There's a ferry called Chau Giang that we took to get there.
Day 3: To Kien Giang, Ha Tien beach (Mui Nai), Mac Cuu temple . We stopped by the borderline market before getting ahead to Kien Giang. There's a new road that they 've just partly completed going along the Vinh Te canal, the way itself is not much dangerous, however, in the case that we rode alone at night, it become much more troublesome. Gosh, it's too dark, and the local houses are just too far from the main road. I felt like my heart was racing really fast with the high speed I rode. At that time, there was a thought in my mind that, in case we were caught by the robber, I would ride with the most furious speed . Fortunatelly, that we didn't. Haha...
My partner tried to calm me down by pointing to me that there was a sign of the Ha Tien city close by, and he kept telling me that, "I can smell the sense of the crowd" , thanks, bro. I really had a good time with you, hope this relationship will last for the next few years.

Now, I just lost again in my career, those people are sucked anyways. Well, the economy gets worse, so do I. WE have to accept the fact that we are a loser, we are just an employee, a servant, maybe. so, what is supposed to do when we're just under their "power" . WEll, then, accept what we have and BE PATIENT, dear! GOSH! I'm losing my patience so easily. I lost my chance! C'm on! It'll never go back to the start , so keep on moving, my dear.!
Well, those native English-speaking peole might be get a big laugh when they read my blog though, 'cause i don't even know what i am writing about, friend. So what you should do is "BE PATIENT" . Haha...

daily journal, my opinion, news
OH, MY GOD!!
that's my first word comming out of my mouth as the State Bank of Vietnam annouced his decision of making the loaning interest rate as the highest 18 percent. Now almost all banks in VN is on the run to changing the saving rate again, making it as 14 percent anually as the highest rate.
When it 's gonna be stopped, I wonder. Averagely since the Lunar New Year, we changed our saving rate once per month. I deposited my money last week, and now the rate has changed! Darn!
Actually, I planned to invest in Gold as I did last month-now my "Precious Metal" is in the bank account --huhu..
Shame on me! Now, the XAU is on the way up high just like it used to be last month, I lost my confidence of buying some more since tt was around 800usd/ounce.
The Stock Market in Vn came back to the place where it used to be from the very first beginning, with the VN-Index below 500, and about to aiming backward to 450. Some investors think it's high time we should invest on Stocks but in my opinion, I don't think we should do it now. 1. the supply is high at this time as the stock investors are all withrawing their money to deposit it in bank or buying precious metal to store the value of their money-as they lost almost more than 50 percent of their stocks' value since the crisis in America began. 2. People almost lost their trust completely on the Govt-rate changed , the stocks fell, inflation up. 3. We don't have enough money to make any investment! -the loaning rate -even though was forced limit to 18 percent anually-considering reasonable- is high especially for the newcommers attending the market for the 1st time. How could we manage to pay the debt off in case the market still not going on track!
Gee..! I don't wannt to ruin myself in any risky business at this moment of this year in stock or in precious metal any longer, keep myself be good and in safe condition-bank is the best choice now, i think. The inflation rate now is above 10 percent-so our real interest is negative, well, hopefully, in the next 3 months, it 's gonna turn out to be ok, at least the Monetary Policy our Govt. is keeping it under action now will work theorically.
Peace!

Jesus Christ! Precious metal has fallen down so much! I lost almost 1.5 mil vnd /unit! Thanks god that my mom didn't do what I have persuaded her to, buying as much as possible as the Gold was at 1800mil/unit.
So far so good, I deposited all of the fucking XAU to my bank, 1-year-term.
So much stuff happenned, quitting my current job, staying home and being a good child, getting furthur in education-that's I always wish to but I seem to give up learning real fast-no reason why! Shit! I lost my tutition fee for applying in a Distant Programe and never studied for it! Now I've just applied for the School of Tourism, majoring in tour leader, hope I will keep my good ethics about studying it.
I failed 3 subjects this semester! No wonder as I didn;t put myself into them. I felt like I was tired of lerning something that would never be used afterwards. God bless me, pls! How could I manage to be graduated when the time is due?!! >_<

After arriving home and took a real good shower, i decided to have a city tour. I borrowed a bike from sis Thao and hit the road. Asking direction to the Nguyen Trai street, i came up to Khuong Dinh street. The Hanoians are such carelessly riders i 've ever known. I fell on road and got 2 of my leg wounded as i tried to brake sharply in order not to hit him. He ran away right after i fell down on the road!
Fortunately, there were the roadside people giving me some clean water to clean my wound and gave me a seat to wait for bro Quan coming and carry me home! Nice people!
I think i was cheated again in the grocery store. After cleaning my wound and giving me some medical treatment with the First Aid, the money in total endend up to 200,000. How can it come up to 200,000? Just some normal cotton and Nacll, and some antibiotics medicine!
Oh, well, What a Hanoians!! I wouldn't like to stay here any longer!
My legs are too hurt.
There things i should say now, my boyfriend and I were broken up again. Again and all over again, I don't blame him for nothingm just blaming myself that i was so easy-going, how can i have a boyfriend with this characteristics always being in my mind!

07/30/07: Trouble happening
After having breakfast with Thao's hubby (The Hanoians have breakfast at 1 place and have a dessert at another places), we arrived at 114 Hang Bac. There were nobody there! Accidentially, there was a guy coming up to me and asked me if i were the one waiting to have a trip to Halong, and i got up to the vain. Nervously i were at that moment as i thought it might me a wrong vain i stayed at. The vain driver even got mad at me as i asked even for the number of the vain and his name...! I started to worry and made a phone call to the Sinh Cafe. Finnally, I found out that the Sinh Cafe i booked a tour at was a fake! I decided to take on the trip after the tour guide coming....Well, even though i would likely to get back home I still got on the trip as the 300,000VND already been turned in would nerver been repaid...
I arrived at Halong bay at noon, having lunch on board and visit the cave, it 's beautiful, such a World Herritage Halong bay. We arrived at the Floating village and i was cheated again when the tour guide recommended that there 's a place where the Indochina film was taken place at so i decided to go and visit. After taking us along for a while, we found nothing there just a space of water betweeen 2 mountain. Giving 30 bulks for no purposes! 15,000 for the boat driver and 15,000 for "donation"<----shit! They said they need to raise money for helping out the teachers teaching the children here..!
We got to Cai Ba island and made a check-in. I was staying alone in 1 room and it was good even they said there would be no air conditioner as i stayed alone! Shit again!
I was nothing loath than being a tour guide as our tour guide even can't speak well English!
Spending a night at Cat Ba and had a walk with my new friends from Da Nang was great.The 2 having a business in Hai Phong and attend a tour on purpose, 2 people were taking a trip. I found that that i was not lonely when i travelled by myself so far...
07/31/07: Hiking at Xuan Dam mountain
We were supposed to visit the Cat Ba national park but after all we ended up at Xuan Dam, hiking up to the mountain-adventurous sport though. I loved that activity anyway. The tour guide even didn't want to have me attend as he said " I thought you wouldn't like it, just a foreigners love it!"<---Damn you, man! You even arranged no rooms for me on board, i have to stay at the hotel for 2 days, diffrenly from my booking, I day on board and 1 day in the hotel!
I met a family having a holiday at that time also, the wife is a Vietnamese but staying in France for over 10 years. She got married with a French man. They got a son and on the way home to visit their relatives.
There were a Vietnamese girl in the hiking group, she was staying in Australia for 13 years and now got back home to visit also. She didn't have a real good pronunciation in English though...
We've been back to the hotel and having lunch. I met a new group, 3 of them were from Australia. and 1 from Norway. I helped a guy named Adams to buy a speaker for his Iphone. I hated those people in here!
I got a massage with Sarah, a foot massage for 4 bulks.
Getting back the hotel and went to the beach at late noon!
I went to the beach with the guy named Linh, he 's a student in Cretch republic, his companion was a German guy who was not able to speak English.The 1st beach is not as nicer as the second one i visited, it's in front of the hotel. I forgot the shells i collected at the 1st beach! Oopsy!
3rd day: 08/01/07: Arriving home
Depart at 8AM and arrive home, in our schedule there's a Halong beach, the village, the Dau go mount, the Bai tho mount that we were supposed to visit, but none of those activities were taken on!What the heck! and when i had a talk with the Australian group I found out that i paid more than they did, 200,000 extra!
we had a nice talk and i found out that they were not satisfied with their trip in Vietnam, everything was just a promise and nothing was happening as the way they expected. They booked for a homestay family, but everything they got was an empty house with those people, not a family, they said it was likely a home restaurant....and everything related to the transportation was even wrose!
Oh, well, I tried to help them out as much as i can and realised that my knowledge about this world is just so tiny! There are things that i gained alot during this trip.
I arrived home and waited for my sis Thao as i couldn't call her 'cause her cell phone ran out of battery.I made a phone call to bro Phu, asking for Nguyet's number, Nguyet gave me Thuan's number and Thuan gave me the address...Wow..I got home finnaly thanks to my good memory!
