Yesterday an incredible and highly emotional fight could be seen here in Cuc Phuong. It was Team 1 (me and my swissknife) against team 2 aka the mother of all coconuts supported by some mosquitos, who tried to disturb me.
It’s was a tough game, but at the end I won, bleeding from a cut from my saw and from some of the mosquito stings, but it didn’t matter because I finally opened it and was able to enjoy an incredibly tasty coconut.
I even saved about a third of it to give it to my colleagues and when I gave it to them, they were pretty… …dissappointed.
How lame is this ;)
I gave them a part of my coconut I fought furiously for and they just said emotionless: “A coconut, okay”
I’m planning to hike a bit in the National Park, but it has been raining for days and it doesn’t look like it will stop in near future.
So I’ll keep on waiting and hoping, because I still got two months to find a nice day ;)
Oh and raining doesn’t mean the slowly and constantly dropping raindrops we know in Germany, it is like a huge flood which comes down at once, then stops for while and later on continues, stops, continues, etc.
In less than two weeks another Volonteer from Germany will arrive and so I’m gonna have some company, because he’ll live in the same house as I do (which is actually a kind of semi-detached house with a shared kitchen at one side and a corridor comparting the two halfs)
This also might improve my dinners, because normally I’m too lazy to cook a real meal for me and just eat some Asia-noodles. Generally spoken is the cuisine here great, even though I’m rarely able to apreciate it.
For breakfast I normally eat some swiss-roll and a pot of green tea. At lunch I eat outside in a kind of “restaurant”, where they sell great bun bo, another variety of the ubiquious noodle soup.
