My first broken

If you are in Vietnam, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, driving safe is not really depended on you but the persons driving around you by the time. For me, most of my accidents occurred when somebody hit me or while I had to avoid someone jumped out on my way suddenly. Fortunately, even I have gone through more than a dozen of traffic accidents so far, I’ve never broke any piece of my bones. And everything has the first time :( So last Friday, when I had to stop my bike suddenly to avoid a lady all of a sudden jumped out to my way, I unfortunately stepped my left foot on a big hole of the street which was hided in a small pool of water and fell off. This was not a serious accident compared to some of my previous ones but after checking up, I found out that the main bone of my left foot was broken. Things happen when you least expect it, huh? I don’t have the picture of me when leaving my house, but I came back home 2 hours later with this:

I was frustrated because I had to cancel some important plans and activities due to this accident. I have to stay still at home for 3 weeks which seems terrible for a social person like me :P And I’m a little nervous that how my foot will become after taking off the blaster cast, imagine, I might have one leg darker than the other one, or one big leg one smaller leg … ha ha ha …. Anyway, it’s another experience I have and the first is always memorable. So my friends and I had a party to mark the event and cheer me up. Well, my friends really enjoyed playing with my blaster casted foot



I’m quite happy with my designed-with-love boot now. But also can’t wait to take it off….

Seaside get-away

During my 3 weeks in Nepal, my friends was definitely missing me. So just when I got back. We planned a beach trip together. It's always great to hang out and have fun with the girls.

This time we stayed in Seahorse Resort, a very nice place with beautiful rooms and good services. And as our main purpose is relaxing, all we did were taking pictures and enjoying ourselves :)

Yes, and I am the main photographer of the trip.



Even though we are at the beach, I was a little more into the pool. Spent alot of my time there





And I love the beach too ...






We also spent time to explore the resort








Drank by ourselves


Or with new friends


The next day, we headed to the famous sand dunes of Phan Thiet for desert wandering and sand sledding. As soon as we started, we had a group of kids following us to offer their sledding plastic mats. The weather was hot so moving from one dune to another was not easy at all. Yet we still took our time to find a good spot for photos, and the kids then became our photographers :)




Time for sledding


And then wandering on the small desert, feeling like I was lost in 1001 Arabian Nights.




The winds was strong on the summit, I could barely keep my eyes open and my hair in normal order :P



And finally, here are some of my favorite pictures that I took for my friends. Looking at them now reminds me of the good time we had. Guess we just need to make another trip soon.
