At random

Today i just give some random thoughts, actually as usual Eye-wink

I'm really quite fascinated by the traffic. The turning for example is special. In most countries you just do a 90° turn if you wanna go right or left, here it's different. If you wanna turn left you need to pass the oncoming traffic. To stop here wait for a gap or that people let you pass just doesn't works. So what you do here is that you start turning at the beginning of the junction in a 30° angle while doing so you make your way through the oncoming traffic. They will go around you, just don't be affraid. Sometimes you have to go slower, sometimes to accelerate. If you wanna be a bit more local, than press th honk while turning at least several times. But this multitasking can be difficult, especially for the male fraction... And always remember the right of way goes from big to small. Cars before bikes, and thebigger they are the more/stronger rights they have!

Yesterday i went out to have fundives, not to work. Here are around twelve divingclubs, but one of them are really nice, friendly people and good diver as well. They invited me to come with them and i did. Been to the only reef here where it is for normal people allowed to dive and did three dives. Was quite nice, the visibility was all right and they dives have been relaxed. The coral reefs here are not as good as on other places, but you can still see some nice things (small sized) and if you into corals, you also will get one's money's worth.

The Vietnamse Guide was really good, i think is one of the best divers i ever met and he has eyes which are unbelievable. He sees and finds things.... E.g  he spotted a flunder which  layed around 15 meters away on the sand (really good camouflaged) and not even in our direction... so we saw among other things ghost pipefishes, stonefishes and a frogfish which is not common here.

In the evening we had a Vietnames BBQ with them and after that we went in a bar to have a drink. Due to the outside life here you sit (at least in Vietnamese places) on the small chairs, which i mentioned before. So while we drunk the police showed up. Actually  they drive a small truck and they are sitting on the truck rack. Because you are only allowed to take for your business half of the footpath you allways need to watch for the police. So this time they have been spotted to late, so at the time they jumped of the truck everybody got up, took they chairs and tables and tried to hide them or put them into the shop. Because the police takes everything what is on the wrong half of the footpath. We only lost one chair to them, other groups lost a lot more Eye-wink

They just pick them up put 'em on their truck rack and take off. I heard you can go to their depot and get your stuff back against a nice paiment. But to buy it new is cheaper Eye-wink

 

So thats for today, keep looking up if you're interested and if you like add a comment, because is also nice to see what people thinking while reading the text....

 

 

Police and medical doctor are the same...

Hey,

today i wanna give a quick look inside vietamese life...

The police as well as the medical doctors at the hospital are not very welcomed among the vietnamese people... 

The police is corrupt, stops cars and you only allowed to drive further if you pay some money... The doctors at hospital only examine and medicate you if you pay them extra. For this reasons the people don't like them. Also their action is rather arbitrary...

So if police comes along anyone doing business is running away in different directions, is a bit like alarmed poultry. Eye-wink Today i had breakfast in one of these cookshops you find along the streets with the little children chairs, when police showed up two junctions away. A whistling is going along the street and all the cookshops disappear in one second... Fortunately they bent off so i could enjoy my breakfast.

Later on, at the beach, police showed up again. But the vietnamese people help each other. So could a woman, which was selling sunclasses, hide the glasses under a mattress off a sunlounger belonging to a strandclub. Than she sat next to me and kept asking if they are gone already. On this way she managed to go away...

But they do not get off so lightly all the time. Three days ago police chased some of the beachseller over the beach and caught one woman with a portable kitchen. They stopped her and smashed all her belongings with their clubs...

So thats how it is here, so the police back in germany is not that bad Eye-wink
