Crossing Paths

🛤️🌟❤️
Everyone has a path, and suddenly one day, you hesitate to pass by it, fearing that your heart will be stirred once again; and there’s a path, wherever you go, you have to pass by it to find tranquility within. Everyone has to cross paths with many people, whether they want to or not, perhaps they will forget about you, and you will forget about them too; but it’s alright, just don’t forget who you are.

每个人都有自己的道路，突然有一天，觉得不想从那里经过，怕自己的内心会被触动；也有条路，不管去哪里，都得经过那里，才能聆听内心的宁静。每个人都会走过很多人，不论是想还是不想，或许他们会忘记你，你也会忘记他们；但没关系，别忘了自己是谁。
Měi gèrén dōu yǒu zìjǐ de dàolù, túrán yǒu yītiān, juédé bùxiǎng cóng nàlǐ jīngguò, pà zìjǐ de nèixīn huì bèi chùdòng; yěyǒu tiáo lù, bùguǎn qù nǎlǐ, dōu dé jīngguò nàlǐ, cáinéng língtīng nèixīn dì níngjìng. Měi gèrén dūhuì zǒuguò hěnduō rén, bùlùn shì xiǎng háishì bùxiǎng, huòxǔ tāmen huì wàngjì nǐ, nǐ yě huì wàngjì tāmen; dàn méiguānxì, bié wàngle zìjǐ shì shéi.

Mỗi cá nhân đô hữu tự kỷ đích đạo lộ, đột nhiên hữu nhất thiên, giác đắc bất tưởng tòng na lý kinh quá, phạ tự kỷ đích nội tâm hội bị xúc động; dã hữu điều lộ, bất quản khứ na lý, đô đắc kinh quá na lý, tài năng linh thính nội tâm đích ninh tĩnh. Mỗi cá nhân đô hội tẩu quá ngận đa nhân, bất luận thị tưởng hoàn thị bất tưởng, hoặc hứa tha môn hội vong ký nhĩ, nhĩ dã hội vong ký tha môn; đãn một quan hệ, biệt vong liễu tự kỷ thị thùy.
//
Ai cũng có con đường, bỗng một ngày, thấy ngại đi ngang qua đó, sợ tâm mình lại động; và có con đường, đi đâu về, phải ngang qua đó mới chịu, để nghe lòng bình yên. Ai cũng phải đi qua rất nhiều người, dù muốn hay không, có thể họ sẽ quên mình, và mình cũng sẽ quên họ; nhưng không sao, ta chỉ đừng quên mất mình là ai.

Phu Yen – Binh Dinh, Day 5: Ghenh Rang

We went to see the tomb of Han Mac Tu (a famous Vietnamese poet) at Ghenh Rang. This place was kinda old and not worth visiting. However, I thought a leisure walk to see the beach was okayish.

This Phu Yen – Binh Dinh tour was kinda more expensive than others that I could search for online, but the meals were all tasty. I was kinda sad I couldn’t enjoy the last two dinners with the other members. Actually, they were among the best tour groups I’ve traveled with so far.

At noon, after lunch, I parted ways with the tour as they dropped me off at Quy Nhon Railway Station. I had to stay in the stay there for 1 and a half hours before the train started for HCMC. Another long endurance but this time I had quite a good view of the Vietnam land and beach outside the train window.

Phu Yen – Binh Dinh, Day 4: Dry Islet, Wind Strait, And Ky Co Beach

We went on a boat tour to Hon Kho (Dry Islet) where I took another dip in the Binh Dinh Sea and others enjoyed scuba diving to seek for some corals.

After taking a rest and having a long lunch, we came to Eo Gio (Wind Strait) and Ky Co Beach. I must admit that these places were better operated than the sightseeing spots in Phu Yen.

I really liked the white sand beach of Ky Co with beautifully decorated houses on the hill.

I skipped another dinner with the tour because my friend’s friend just flew here from HCMC. He treated us quite a square meal.

Phu Yen – Binh Dinh, Day 3: Mang Lang Church And Da Dia Reef

This morning, I had an opportunity to visit Mang Lang Church. Actually, this church was beyond my expectation because it had the look of Notre Dame de Paris. I thought this was more like a replica than the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon. The old wooden windows reminded me with my secondary school’s architecture which was also from the French colonial time.

Then we headed for Da Dia Reef (also called Gành Đá Dĩa or Ghềnh Đá Đĩa), the prominent tourist attraction of Phu Yen. The area was smaller than I thought though it had quite an impressive gate at the front.

I had another delicious lunch with seafood before leaving for Binh Dinh. We checked in Quy Nhon hotel around 2:30pm. My friends went out but I was too tired so I stayed in for a warm bath to relax my muscles.

Around 4pm, my friend convinced me to take a dip in the sea. It was fun, but my legs were still hurt.

My friend had an acquaintance in Quy Nhon so we skipped the tour dinner and ate out together. He took us to a restaurant by the river(?!). When we came back, the others joined us on a beach side cafe to enjoy the night.

P.s.:
Later I heard that other people had quite a good meal with chicken. I’d rather stay with them.

Phu Yen – Binh Dinh, Day 2: Nhan Mountain And Dien Cape

The train reached Tuy Hoa Station at 9:10am, just in time the flight from Hanoi landed in Tuy Hoa Airport. The bus came to pick me up and I made friends with 3 new girls: 2 were my friend’s colleagues and 1 was kinda the tour leader.

We came to the Nhan Mountain first. The Cham tower looked just like other Cham towers I have seen in Nha Trang, but the overview of Phu Yen land and sky from the mountain was majestic.

Then the tour bus took us to a pagoda before we had an early lunch at 10:40am. Delicious one. Then we had a long rest after checking in Saigon – Phu Yen hotel.

Around 3pm we departed for the Dai Lanh aka Dien Cape. I climbed up to the lighthouse with so many steps and found out I was still scared of heights after all. From there I went down to see the beautiful beach.
The tuna sushi at dinner was so delicious. Just two meals and I realized that Vietnamese food was so good. Thai, Singaporean, and Australian can’t hold a candle to Vietnamese cuisine.

The tour guide was very helpful. He went with us to try the tuna big eye dish, a specialty of Phu Yen. He also called it “ocean headlight”.
