Seven Swords ;-)
I have not eaten meat since I am back, I gain 1 more kg, and still when I see friends, they always say that I am the only friend who comes back from abroad and still skinny. It was funny when I ran into my high-school "sweetheart", who is now married, and has a son ;-), we joked a lot.
We talked about how lucky the kids nowadays, but also how unlucky they are... We used to received money every morning for breakfast, plus a small amount of money to pay the parking people who kept our bikes, then that's it. So, what we did, we tried to save our money, so we could have some extra fun, like eating coconut ice-cream in the Saigon harbour...I remember it was only when I got to the last year of high-school that my mom started giving money for the whole week. Kids now play computers games, dating with motorbikes, go to bars, drinking cafes...Before, we rode our bikes to the center of Saigon, drinking sugarcane on the streets, but it was sweet and fun...
Vegetarians foods are great here, I am seriously thinking of moving back. Apparently the Hilton corporation is opening their 6 stars hotel here in Saigon, and to be honest I can easily get a job here if I want to. TV broadcasts a lot of foreign channels now, you have BBC World, CNBC, China channels, Korea, Japan, TV5, Disney world..etc, and in the original languages. So, the kids are very lucky, if they are learning in English or else, they do not have to buy tapes like we did before to listen to, they can just listen from TV. There are plenty of schools offer programs to study abroad in country like Holland, Australia, Canada, US, Singapore or France, computing courses, especially programing...
BTW, talking about TV, I quite like the A1 channel (it is an adventure specialised channel), they showed rock climbing, ice climbing, snowboard, scuba diving, skydiving and many dangerous sports. But what I like most is that they also show true story of climbers, of how dangerous it can be...The other day, there was a guy who did rock climbing and lost his friends, he stopped for a year, then eventually like to come back. So he chose a mountain in Hildalgo (Mexico) to see how far he could go, and he did it. He was happy to be alive again, and I felt also happy as well (weird hein?), or a group of climbers were captured by a terrorist, I wished I could have experienced such a strength mentally. Only when you see or expereinced it yourself you understand how climbing really train your mind, I really wish one day I will have such a challenge to see if I am strong ;-).
Hmm, Irina smsed me, her brother's wed went great, and Christian was also there, they are now near the Black sea. She is back to Bonn by end of September.
It has been more than 10 years that I have not gone to movie theaters in Saigon. Before it became a place where couples went to have private time ;-), so I didn't want to go there. But now, it is getting better, cleaner and nicer as well. A movie ticket costs only 2E, and you still have the same experience as the one in Brussels (of course I don't compare it with the Grand Eldorado in De Brookere), and the pop corn is so much better ;-). I saw Seven Swords, it is a new movie that gathers all the big stars of HK, Korea, and China, a bit like a Chinese style cowboys movie...Ok, not like that...it's a Kungfu movie that they show the use of the swords ;-). It's good to know that Vnese still like to go to movies despite all the cheap DVDs they can get ;-).
After Hero of JetLi, I think this movie is great!!! Check it out!! Click here
