I really like Vietnam now. This country is so chill. If you have a problem with someone, deal with it, because society isn't going to. Society isn't going to do anything, or at least it's just falling apart no matter what you do. I've cursed more here than I have in the entirety of my life, mostly because I can't stand the traffic here.

There is just a general lack of order and accountability in everything, from traffic to housing to schooling, etc. I remember the first time trying to pay rent... most frustrating time since i can remember. o_o It's just impossible to be as productive or efficient as in America because you can't depend on anything to work out, as you trust things in America. Trips to the post office to deliver a letter may take a hour or two. And apparently, sending mail from the international post office in Trung Tam will save you about three weeks on delivery, but mail from the Bưu Điện near Hapro will sit there for nearly a month before getting sent.

Once I realized that, i just decided to chill out and work with what i could. print out my stuff and disregard the computer when the Internet's out or the electricity's dead...

So I guess I'll pick up blogging again... seeing as how I've come quite to terms with this country and I very much love it here. lovelovelove it here, from its beautiful mountains and villages a day's hike away to the busy city, with its sincere people. The sincerity and life here are hard sought elsewhere.

I've been posting in my personal blog as incidents come up, but more than not, I haven't been keeping a good record of the things that pass through my mind in Vietnam. I'll post up some blogs from my personal blog because they seem less significant in retrospect. In retrospect, everything isn't quite so bad and it's all worth it. hahaha years from now, we'll look back and say, hey remember that time you broke the thermometer and spilled mercury onto your bed? hahaha yea...

so here's to the last two months, it felt like it has been a lifetime of epiphanies and anxiety attacks, but that it only stretched the duration of a few weeks. How the heck did all this time pass? o_o
