Saturday we will go to Hanoi, because Jakob is leaving and we occupy the free seats in his taxi.
So I’ll finally be able to upload this (and spend 3 hours writing emails ;) )
I still haven’t been to the National Park, even though the weather wasn’t bad the last few days, because I was a bit sick.
I greatly improved my Vietnamese (in my opinion, from a few words to a few sentences is a great leap ;)), so I can have short conversations (mainly about eating, drinking and the life in Germany).
It still can be pretty boring, but I really started to like my quiet meals on the terrace in front of my house. I always feels like a bit of paradise with all the butterflies and birds around me. Unfortunately are my neighbours not always so quiet and peaceful as the nature around me and so I sometimes have to listen to some really strange vietnamese pop-music.
So hopefully I will be able to supply myself in Hanoi with some stuff I really miss and/or need.
First of all some new lecturing stuff, later on canned tuna, olive oil and some new clothes, especially T-Shirts, because I sweat so much, that I could easily change my clothes twice a day.
When I asked where I could buy tuna there was an outburst of outrange within my mates claiming that I cannot buy fish which is fished in kilometer-long fishing nets where dozens of others fish die in and which nearly extincted the albtross.
So I truely felt a bit guilty when I whispered barely audible “But I like it”.
Fortunately nobody heard it :D
