21 dage tilbage

I går, søndag var der præcis 21 dage til vi ville lande i DK igen. Det er simpelthen ikke til at forstå at det er lige om hjørnet at vi skal hjem igen. Tiden flyver simpelthen af sted hernede, og den sidste tid hernede skal planlægges godt, så man når at få det sidste med som man gerne vil nå at se og opleve.

Vi – Nete, LM, Liv og jeg brugte søndagen på en tur til Dai Nam park, der består af temapark med forlystelser og stor Zoo.

Det var rigtig dejligt at se at dyrene her har det rigtig godt, og interessant at se hvor stort et antal de har af de forskellige dyr. Normalt ville en zoo derhjemme måske ikke have mere en 3-4 tigere, men her har de måske 6-8 stykker, og det sammen med deres krokodiller, dem var der også rigtig mange af, af samme salgs.  

Jeg har fået fortalt at de dyr der er i Zooen, der ligger inde i Ho Chi Minh by ikke lever under de bedste forhold, så derfor var det rart at se hvordan dyrene trives her, og hvor godt de har det. Vi snakkede om at nogle af dem virkede til at have det bedre end nogle steder derhjemme i DK.

Vi startede ud i temaparken, hvor vi selvfølgelig valgte at tage en vandrutsjebane som noget af det første. Her delte de regnslag ud inden du satte dig ned i båden, og tak for det. Du starter ud med at køre en lille smule rundt, og her har de ikke gjort noget ud af tingene, så det eneste du her kigger på er græs. Så kommer du hen til rampen hvor vi skulle op af og så gik det ellers bare ned ad.  Og hold da helt ferie, hvor vi blev badet. Den gik virkelig også bare stejl ned af, og det var ligesom om at vandet kom af to omgange, så vi har dem mistænkt for at de små rør der stikker op på hver side af banen når du kommer ned, at de også sprøjter vand.  Hvis vi ikke havde fået regnslag på, så var vi gennemblødt. Men det var sjovt. Herefter tog Nete og jeg en lidt vildere rutsjebane, men det var lige før vi bakkede ud. For da vi kom op til vognene, kunne vi se at siderne på sikkerhedsbøjlerne havde fået en ordentlig gang gennemsigtig gaffatape, og ikke nok med det. Det bælte der var der, som man normalt spænder over maven, bliver her brugt til at binde rundt om sikkerhedsbøjlen, for at holde den nede. Puha, det var lidt af en udfordring, men vi klarede den og vi fik os en på opleveren. Hihi J

Den første uge tilbage i skolen blev afsluttet med god mad og en bytur. Vi spiste på ZanZbar, som var utroligt lækkert og et vildt hyggeligt sted, herefter tog vi videre til Chill Skybar. Stemningen her var rigtig god og musikken var også helt rigtig. Et par piger som stod ved siden af os i baren ude på tagterrassen, spurgte om de måtte købe drinks til os.

Det skal lige siges at tingene på Chill Skybar, koster godt og vel det sammen som drinks i DK, hvilket betyder at det er et af de dyre steder. 

Efter et par drinks på Chill Skybar, gik turen et hurtigt smut forbi Apocalypse og herefter videre til Lush hvor vi brugte resten af aftenen.

Lørdag havde vi et lille møde med Navin Oksen, tidligere TEKO studerende, som har været bosat i Vietnam i 6 år. Det var rigtig hyggeligt at møde ham og få hans syn på det vietnamesiske marked og hvilke udfordringer man som indkøber her, støder ind/kan støde ind i, samt hans erfaringer med at arbejde i Vietnam.

21 days left

Yesterday, Sunday, there was exactly 21 days before we are in DK again. It is weird to think about that it is almost around the corner that we are going home. The time just passes by over here and the last time over here needs to be planned well in order to get to see the last things that you want to see and experience.

We, Nete, LM, Liv and I spend our Sunday going to Dai Nam Park, which consist of a theme park with rides and a big zoo.

It was really nice to see that they animals are doing well and it was interesting to see how many they have of each animal. Normally in a zoo back home they don’t have more than for example 3-4 tigers, but here they have maybe 6-8 tigers, and the same with the crocodiles. There were a lot of them and of same kind.

I have been told from some of the other girls that the animals in the zoo located in Ho Chi Minh City don’t live under the best circumstances, which is why it was nice to see how the animals TRIVES in the Dai Nam Zoo, and how good they have it. We also talked about that some of them seemed to have it better than some places back home in DK. 

We started in the theme park where we of course choose to take a water rollercoaster as the first thing. Here they gave out raincoats before sitting in the boat, and thank god for that. First you start out be sailing a bit around, looking at nothing else but grass. Then you arrive at a ramp where we had to get up, and from here it was downhill. And holy shit we got wet! It went really steep and it was like that the water came of two rounds, so we have them suspected for, the small tubes that are located next to the track when you come down, that they also sprout water. If we haven’t got the raincoats we would have been soaked. But it was fun.

After this Nete and I took a wilder rollercoaster, but we almost backed out. When we came up to the wagons we could see that the safety straps have been wrapped in a lot of gaffatape, and not only that. The safety belt which you normally tighten across your stomach is being used to tighten the safety straps. It was some of a challenge, but we did it and we got an experience out of it.  Hihi J

The first week back at school was completed with great food and a night out. We dined at ZanZbar, which was really delicious and a very cosy place. Hereafter we went to Chill Skybar. The atmosphere was really good and so was the music. A couple of girls, who stood next to us at the bar on the roof terrace, asked if they could by us drinks.

It must be said that things on Chill Skybar costs almost the same as drinks back in DK, which means that it is one of the more expensive places.

After a couple of drinks at Chill Skybar, we went a quick look at Apocalypse and then proceed to Lush, where we spend the rest of the night.

Saturday we had a small meeting with Navin Oksen, who is a former TEKO student, who has been living in Vietnam for 6 years. It was really nice to meet him and get his point of view on the Vietnamese market and which challenges one have as a buyer here, and his experiences with working in Vietnam.
