killing millions in the name of something nobody ever saw
The apartment is 10km away from Lib’s place and the traffic reminded me on some attractions in the Viennese “Prater”, called autodrome or bumper car, just that these are not cars but motorcycles in real life and people try not to bump. (youtube video will follow!) It is just similar chaotic and at least as loud and fast. But maybe riskier and more stressful. For me, on ride of 40min was enough, I wouldn’t like to change my regular life with this.
Lib’s workshop is in a big quite new building and exists only since July. You can see how much thoughts, time, energy and – of course – money must be invested to build up that workshop (not to speak about the whole start-up)
I just can admire Lib for doing all that, but I also admire her for staying cool and calm in that situation. There would be something to learn in that for me.
With her long-term friend and co-worker, we had lunch
and in the afternoon a friend from Paris, who had been around Vietnam, came to try some of Lib’s winter jackets.
I had to leave to get back before dusk, but I stuck in the traffic and as it gets dark quite fast, I had to go 15min with my weak lights, the better ones were in the apartment.
Later, I tried to get passionfruit, but no one had any, and one seller persuaded me to buy a dragon fruit instead. I should have waited for Marc’s farm in Taiwan, where I learned to love this fruit, it was not bad but still anticlimactic. I bought a mango, too, and this was ok.
Then I bought some rice and vegetables and an fried egg to put in my container, but it was too hot and the container has a new form now.
in one small supermarket (a contradiction in itself) of the chain “vietmart” i saw these Vietnamese products, suitable as small souvenirs and thought i would get them in other shops of vietmart. so far, I was in 3 of them – nothing to see!
I hope this will not keep me busy the next 2000km 😉
another contradiction in itself…
