Love And Respect
👼💖🏞️ If a man expects a woman to be an angel in his life, he must first create heaven for her. Angels don’t live in hell. // 男人若期望女人在他的生命中成为天使，他必须先为她创造天堂，天使是不会住在地狱里的。 Nánrén ruò qīwàng nǚrén zài tā de shēngmìng zhòng chéngwéi tiānshǐ, tā bìxū xiān wèi tā chuàngzào tiāntáng, tiānshǐ shì bù huì zhù zài dìyù lǐ de.

Love Fades
💔🚶♀️😢 Loving, and then it fades away; Walking, and then we drift apart. // 爱着爱着就淡了，走着走着就散了。 Àizhe àizhe jiù dànle, zǒuzhe zǒuzhe jiù sànle. // Ái trứ ái trứ tựu đạm liễu, tẩu trứ tẩu trứ tựu tán liễu. // Yêu tới yêu lui thành nhạt, ngày qua ngày lại thành tan. P.s.: Picture taken in […]
Keep Moving Forward
🚫👀🛣️ Never look back unless you are planning to go that way. (Henry David Thoreau) // 永远不要回头看，除非你想往回走。 Yǒngyuǎn bùyào huítóu kàn, chúfēi nǐ xiǎng wǎng huí zǒu. // Vĩnh viễn bất yếu hồi đầu khán, trừ phi nhĩ tưởng vãng hồi tẩu. // Đừng bao giờ quay đầu lại trừ phi bạn định đi theo […]
Unknown Paths
🌄🌊🗺️ Mountains high, waters pure—none heed their call, Oceans wide, horizons far—no friend at all. // 高山流水无人识， 海角天涯何处寻？ Gāoshānliúshuǐ wú rén shí, Hǎi jiǎo tiānyá hé chù xún? // Cao sơn lưu thuỷ vô nhân thức, Hải giác thiên nhai hà xứ tầm? // Non cao nước chảy không người hiểu, Chân trời góc bể […]
Dien Bien – Hai Phong, Day 8: Hai Phong To HCMC
So the trip was almost over. We had the last meal at a rice place near the bus station. First time I tried sour soup with a strange fruit. I had to ask for its name. Turned out it was called plum mango or mango plum in English which is a species of flowering plant […]
Dien Bien – Hai Phong, Day 7: Hai Phong
The sleeper bus reached Hai Phong City 15 hours later. The day before must have been the longest day of my life. I thought it was no better when a “xe om” rider showed us a place which I thought was worse than a toilet. Luckily, we decided to get out of it and checked […]
Dien Bien – Hai Phong, Day 6: Dien Bien To Hai Phong
This must have been the worst day of our trip. In the morning, we had a terrible bread breakfast at a cafe nearby. Just when we got on the sleeper bus to depart Dien Bien for Hai Phong, everything went from bad to worse. The coach reached the passes right away, and we had to […]
Dien Bien – Hai Phong, Day 5: Museum Of Dien Bien Phu Victory And Him Lam Hill
As we saw almost everything that was worth seeing in Dien Bien, we decided to go back to the A1 Hill to visit the Museum of Dien Bien Phu Victory. When we were back, we enjoyed “chè bưởi” (grapefruit sweet soup) on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street. At lunch break, we saw that the Him Lam […]
Dien Bien – Hai Phong, Day 4: Muong Phang, Hong Cum, Thanh Ban Phu
My sis and I woke up very early this morning to catch two “xe om” to Muong Phang where we would visit the General Vo Nguyen Giap’s Headquarters. The riders took the shorter way and we could really enjoy the different culture compared to the Dien Bien Phu City. We also passed a few suspension […]
