I went on a bike ride today. I started a little bit late in the day, in the early evening. I followed a road out of the city until I came to an area which is mostly farm land. I turned off of that road and onto a path that went down into a farm land. There were flowers, summer squash and leafy greens being grown. The sun was almost setting by this time, and it looked very large and…
I went for a bike ride in the afternoon. I bought a couple of things. I stopped at a bakery where they were selling bread fresh out of the oven. It smelled really good and I stopped to buy one. Later, I saw a road-side flower stand and stopped there to buy some cherry blossoms. I thought that my cat would play with them. My cat didn’t play with the flowers. She smelled them and looked at me like I…

I’ve been bicycling more the last few days. I go around Thai Nguyen, sometimes a little bit outside of it. I’m thinking about going on a longer bicycle ride during the Tet holiday. Maybe just for a couple days. I’d like to wander further out of the city, maybe out of the province. Tet is when all the stores are closed, so people have warned me to prepare to have some food at home. They said that the stores will…
If it’s really late and I’m hungry, I go to Michi mart for instant noodles. My favorite brand is Siu Kay. The seafood flavor tastes good. I think I might go there tonight. I won’t stay out very late, because tomorrow I have work. My job has been going ok. Things are manageable now. I might extend my contract for 3 months. Yesterday I had the day off, and I bicycled North about 5 km. It felt nice to get…
On weekday mornings, me and the cat go out. We usually go to the coffee shop. This morning I had a sweet potato and a coffee. I was thinking about some things I had to do today. I got several things done today. It was a really peaceful day. I don’t think I spoke much at all to anyone all day. Now I’m back home. The cat is sitting in my lap. I’m writing on my computer. Q. What were…
One thing I would like to be able to do is to use a sewing machine. The auntie at the market whipped up this nice little dangly for my backpack. She made the strap from an old t-shirt. I rode my bicycle in the evening, looking for pictures to take. I found a nice little park with exercise equipment. I mostly just took pictures of the exercise equipment. Maybe I should have exercised. Q. What’s something that you’re proud of?…
Today me and the cat went for a longer bicycle ride. We went to a few different places. We went to a pet supply store and bought a harness. It turned out to be too big, and she kept getting out of it. We went to get pizza for lunch. Then we went to the historical structure outside town. We rode 7 kilometers. The cat complained some, but still seemed ok. Q. Would you ever consider being a long-distance truck…
What comes next I can’t tell. I don’t know. I didn’t know before, and now there’s this cat. I didn’t expect that. Now I really don’t know. It attached itself to me. I thought I couldn’t keep any pet, and then as if it read my mind, it said “I can be a backpack cat.” It’s true I needed a cat. And I can ride my bicycle with this cat. But Dee Dee, what am I supposed to do with…
When I’m very tired, what I need is sleep, not tra sua. But tra sua tastes good, and I want to sit down because I’m tired. Today I had many opportunities to take a nap, and I missed all of them. Instead I played on my computer and rode my bike. I’ll probably want to go to Michi mart for noodles after dark again. Q. What is something you enjoyed today?Q. Agree or disagree: school prepared me for adult life.
