Big Things, Little Things, Laziness Abounds.
Big Things:
Things are starting to move in Vietnam. For me personally, and for many others. Economy is booming, so are food prices (up 8% this year on average, as seen here:Thanh Nien News , 15% on rice, which is incredible considering it is a staple of everyone’s diet). Land is outrageous, and the government will be implementing some taxes rather soon to combat the prices (I doubt the price will sink much). Also I’m not looking forward to seeing the import tax come down on cars, as we really, really don’t need any more of those as it is (10% reduction on 1 liter and below engine size: see Thanh Nien News to find it). More and more and more, it is booming. I guess I should get in on the action?
Little Things: I now officially weigh more than I did in the states. Being better fed recently and a complete lack of anything resembling exercise will do that I suppose. I’ve gotta stop being lazy.
Which brings us to…
Laziness Abounds: No exercise, No intelligent work, Lots of games, lots of cafe sitting. What have I become. I have a great chance to work on things I actually studied for (somewhat) and I keep on putting the work off. Lame! I guess after this trip to the states, I’ll have to roll the clock back and start working a bit (a lot) harder. Play soccer, study, read, lift weights, become an active person again.
or I could eat another piece of cake and read Thanh Nien News.
