I’m on my phone too much, and right now I have a headache from that. I don’t know why I spend so much time looking at my phone when there is so much to look at all around me. This morning I ate “bun rieu”. It looked really healthy. I took a picture — look how colorful it is. It’s like an amazing work of art — I want to look and look. I went out riding my bike. I…
I like to sit and do nothing. I look for good places to do this. These are some things that I look for when I want to find a good place to sit. I like to have a beautiful view.

Open space is valuable. Open space can be filled. But keeping open space empty is also valuable. In the country side, there is a lot of open space. I like lots of cafes in the city, however I also like seeing no cafes. On the weekend, you have free time. You can fill it with fun plans. But then you may also be missing the unexpected. Open space is valuable. Nowhere and nothing is something. Q. Do you drink coffee?…
After I got a bicycle, I found a bridge over a canal. I went across it, and this is what I discovered. On the other side of the bridge, it is greener. There are rice paddies and trees. There aren’t many buildings or traffic. On the other side of the bridge, there are fewer people. There aren’t cafes or restaurants. There is open space and the sound of insects. It’s odd how different it is on the other side of…
I saw a farmer walking his buffalo on a country road. Now I want a buffalo. If I had a buffalo, I’d ride it everywhere. I’d ride it to the cafe. It would have fun. If I had a buffalo, I’d be very good to it. I’d give it food. I’d talk to it. I want a buffalo, but I can’t really have one. Q. Do you like animals? What are you passionate about?Q. Do you like kids? Tell me…
Bicycle or motorbike If you need personal transport and care about how much fun it is, then you may be wondering whether a bicycle or a motorbike is more fun.

With a motorbike, there is more fun from being able to go longer distances. You can see more things…
