Day 7

Rain, mosquitoes and traditional Vietnamese music.

The  rainy season will end this month. Usually it rains at night. Excuse me did i say rains?  It pours. Pours isn't enough. No, water drops out of the sky like there is no tomorrow. Like it's trying to commit suicide. Like fuck that area in particular. Usually when it rains like that i'm just waiting for Ponta to arrive on a boat and give instructions. But it never happens. I don't know where all the water goes but i'm pretty sure that if it rained like this in my hometown we would have a loot of floods. Often. But during the day we don't have a lot of rain, maybe in the afternoon but even if it catches you off-guard you can actually enjoy it. Since it's hot outside it's like taking a shower while you buy some eggs or whatever.

 I hosted on couchsurfing a while ago 3 people. One of them hated mosquitoes so much that while we were all chilling at my place he kept on hunting them. I asked him why all the hate and he said that they have no use except to annoy us. I didn't understand it then but now i think i do.   I keep on using a spray a few times a day but when they get a chance baam they are all over me.  Can somebody send me a truck of mosquito spray?  Seriously if you know a way to keep them away, let me know.

I visited a doctor to do something about this cold, she gave me antibiotics, this rhymes with no alcohol and no alcohol rhymes with not so keen on partying. So I’ll behave for a few days. The doctor consulted me at her house; I guess that I don’t have to be in a hospital to diagnose a cold. What was pretty weird is that she gave me some strong medicine; I know that because my mom takes them for a serious illness. I wasn’t going to take those pills so I just approved and did what a friend suggested.

  Anyway the other day my host invited me to a wedding. I was honored to attend it, we got dressed properly and off we went. When we arrived we were welcomed by the godfather, we shook hands with the bride and the groom, dropped an envelope in a cute little house and somebody lead us to our table. It wasn't a big wedding and it was pretty similar with what we have in my country. What’s different about their weddings is that they end fast and I don’t know much about fashion but the bride wore a red dress. The couple cut a cake, took photos, went at tables to say hi to people. Towards the end of the wedding a bunch of guys started dancing and singing on a stage; they invited me to dance also but I don’t think that Vietnam is ready for my moves… Just kidding, I was too sober because antibiotics. I sat at a table with a bunch of guys also, we smiled at each other for most of the time since we couldn't communicate and after 2 hours or so the wedding was done. Yeah they end their weddings faster then us and I think that’s cool because most weddings we attend are just obligations or we think that one day we’ll get married and get the money back. That’s like in a list of 10 stupid things people do.

In order to move around the island easily i need transportation. We have here a lot of scooters so I decided to buy one. Renting them is kind of expensive and buying one is expensive also. And i don't know if I’ll be here another week or for the rest of my life. And I ain't rich either so I have to overthink the situation and see what happens.

Well it happened that I somehow bought one. After a lot of wasted time and energy i found a decent one and i hope I’ll (ab)use of it as much as possible. There are a lot of places to explore and even though a dirt bike would be the best option I think that a 125cc scooter will do.

  In other news some weird stuff happened 2 nights ago I was coming home by myself, I got bored of walking and decided to take a taxi.  A scooter passed slowly by and i thought that it's a taxi scooter so i said

-Hey, can you take me to the city?

-Where do u want to go?

- I showed him the destination on my phone, the dude checked it out, then with a move like when you first meet a dog and you show him your hand, the guy touched my dick while saying. "Why so big"?

I was surprised. I didn't see that coming.

So he said:

-Come on I’ll take you in the city.

I tried to be cool and I told him: man I think you want to go to the city of love and I don't wanna go there with you.

Then he did it again. At this point I put on my angry face and I told him to get out of my sight. After 2-3 minutes of driving around he finally understood and went away and after a while I found a taxi that just brought me home, no touchy touchy :))
