Just continue from my last blog post
- 04:30AM to 05:00PM on Feb-06-2008: Holly cow, this is a big day. I did not have a chance to enjoy the last Luna year day and the Luna new Year Eve for a long time. I think 5 years. However i got a little bit disappointed too. Nothing was actually as i always dreamed of. The feeling, the atmosphere wasn't as special as it used to be. It felt like just a normal day. Tet lost its own value in big cities already, i believe. But I also believe Tet still has its very very special value in rural areas.
- 06:00PM on Feb-06-2008: we got a taxi and went to Saigon (center of the city). The road was crowed, people were trying to get to the city square for the fire work and the bonsai/flower market. We got off the cab around 1/2 km from the center of the city, we started walking. I got the holiday atmosphere here and i loved it. This was the thing that i was looking for. We took some picture with the most important person, my only niece.
- 08:00PM on Feb-06-2008: We got into the hotel that my older brother is working for. We got to the restaurant and had our dinner there. This is a 4 stars hotel but the food was not that good. The steak was horrible, other food was ok. It was not worth the money. My younger brother took his girl friend to the dinner with us, but we was so busy eating that we did not take any picture of her. She is a really nice girl, too nice for my younger punk brother
, i think !!! - 10:00PM on Feb-07-2008: My younger brother took his girl friend back to her house, she did not want her mother to stay home alone (or her mom did not trust my younger brother enough
)
- 12:00AM on Feb-07-2008: New Year Eve, we went out to see fire work, my younger brother got back to the hotel after a long fighting with horrible traffic, and paid a crazy amount for parking. The baby was awake and joined the celebration with us. She was doing so good. She did not cry that much, and she ate like a pig
, a lovely baby pig.
- 01:45AM on Feb-07-2008: We could not find a cab to get home, the road was blocked. And my younger brother was so sleepy to drive his motobike home. So i took the bike and started to drive home. Good news, my older brother called me to tell me that they finally got a cab. Bad news, I looked down at the gas meter, it was almost empty.That was how my younger brother welcomed me home. Every time that i used his motobike, it would have almost no gas in it. And this is the problem, his motobike is a new model, Honda AirBlade, I had no idea how to open the gas tank cap. I had to ask the guy @ the gas station to open it for me. I knew that he knew i was not steal the bike but i absolutely believed that he was thinking that i was a jackass, borrowed the bike to show off.
- 02:30AM on Feb-07-2008: We got home almost at the same time. I was so tired so i passed out around 3:00AM.
