Feels nice
So I left on the 14th, 2 days after school ends, for Vietnam. I was pretty amazed that the flight there was short, well because I slept. While I was there I literally got to see some pretty amazing shows of all sorts. The best one I saw was a guy throwing and spinning noodles in the air. Sadly the noodles were overcooked and my bowl of noodles sucked. Bummer. I also got to see a show where monkies and dogs are just running around doing tricks and flying through hoops and so on. Then I also got to touch my favorite animal! The monkey! Then I went to the most common beach in Vietnam and literally got stun by jellyfishes. So gay. The best highlight of this trip was talking to a man who experienced a lot. He told me he experienced so much abuse from his parents because he couldn't at least bring home $20 which is like 360,000 VND/Dong. He says that people who only see through their point of view tend to dislike everything and think that they are the center of everything. He told me that if I ever wanted to be successful in life, I must never look back or look what is infront of me. He told me to look down and put my hand palm facing down. When I asked why? He told me that when you look what's infront of you you see a bright and great future. You get cocky and you tend to slack off. But when you look down and focus on your work, you are setting up your future. Then he told me when your palm is facing up, you are begging/asking for stuff that you are too lazy to obtain through work, which making yourself pathetic. But when your palm is facing down, you are working and getting what your desired by hard work and determination. He told me we all see quotes on life and see what life really is. But when we see stuff we tend to think highly of ourselves and not see the complexity of life. But when we face it in person, it is a whole new chapter that opened in your life. Even though he wasn't successful, he knew exactly what he was doing. Well the best high light of all of my vacation in Vietnam was going because I myself need some sanitary. Vietnam isn't really the difinition of sanitary. It's worse than the sewers because Vietnam itself is a sewer and garbage dump. People's bathroom is like on the streets or infront of the house. The trashcan is like whereever because there is no law on littering. Well i'll post more later
