A short diary entry and no photos (and no videos)
In the morning, I brought my bike to a shop to get a
new chain. I had to wait for the mechanic who should be back “in 10min” and in
the meantime bought food, came back after 20min but should wait for another
30min, went to a Viettel shop to top up the credit of my SIM card and to a “VietMart”
to try to get those souvenir foods (see day 152) and then, finally he was in
the shop and cared for the bike.
Near the apartment, I bought green bananas, because I remembered how delicious
green ones in Cambodia had been. At home, I had to realize that they were
totally unripe.
I prepared a lot for the coming days and the internet connection was always breaking
down. So, I decided to tell that to the manager and then bring back the bananas.
The manager tole me “in 10min” it will be fixed and I went to the fruit shop.
The seller saw the bananas and started a Vietnamese monologue and I clearly got
the meaning. But she took the green ones back and gave me yellow bananas with
some black spots. Those always work well. I also went t another VietMart store
and again they had other stuff but not what I was looking for.
And at home, I worked on. For 1-2 hours, I used my mobile phone for tethering,
but then the “10min” seemed to be over.
