wonderpeas

it made me

happier

peaceful

able to let little things go

i want to go back to hawaii for a while

it’s a very relaxing place

beautiful everything

priceless to be able to stand on one of hawaii’s shores, with no cares in your mind and the warm breeze in your hair
ahhhhhh.

i learned that big girls are considered beautiful in hawaii

another plus to be there

ahha.

everyone is comfortable with each other and life is simple

i stay with my relatives when i go back, with my aunt and uncle

people in saigon don’t really worry about the things we worry here

such as break-ins, or robberies

most people don’t lock their doors and actually leave them wide open all day

occasionally a woman walks by with nail polish and nail tools and stuff, asking us if we want manicures or pedicures

it’s also pretty humid

it doesn’t rain often but when it does, it’s a very hot rain and the winds aren’t cold, they’re hot, as though someone is breathing on you

it turns out that one dollar in our money can be about 1600 there

a hundred dollars equals out to about a million dollars

so a person who is middle-class and makes average income

could be a millionaire over there

there also aren’t many cars there

they do have cars but mostly only tourists or large travelers or businessmen use them

the locals use a type of moped

it’s not really a moped or a motorcycle

but i suppose that would be what it’d look like here

it’s very fun to ride on one of those, i must say

it could even pass as a type of taxi because i was going to go shopping with my aunt and instead of getting a car, a guy came on his moped/motorcycle and took us to the mall and we paid him

it really was like getting a taxi i guess

except not really getting into a car

i’m not really sure what else to add.

this is merely a production of boredom

but i suppose if there are any serious questions, they’re welcome to me

p.s.

you might want to refer to the city as saigon, not ho chi minh city because vietnamese people really don’t like that name

and you can’t really blame them because ho chi minh was the communist leader

it’d be like if europe had a hitler city or something yknow?
