Park Action (Part V)

Ok, I think this shall be the last installment of this series.... Or until I spot something funny! No pictures for this post.... You will know why soon. My previous impression of the Vietnamese was that they are rather similar to the Chinese. In fact, some of them are fair skinned like us and use Chinese names. Some can even speak Mandarin fluently! They also use the chopsticks and bowl for their meals. But if you think that they are conservative like us, then that's where you are wrong! The park at night is where all the action starts! If someone with the first name Tom and whose favourite past time is to peep, he would be having a truly enjoyable time here! The locals are really into public display of affection. There can be a couple in the deep of action and just a seat away would be another pair! In fact, they are so nonchanlant about it that this actually happens on the outside of the park as well, facing the main road! They would be sitting on their motorcycles (cause all the benches in the park had been taken up!) along the road and getting on with each other......

There was one time my friend, Leonora, and I wanted to have dinner at Today Cafe, and the shortest way to get there was to cut across the park. Everytime we made a turn, we would come face to face with a couple. I couldn't tell which side was more embarressed - them or us! Anyway, Leonora and I vowed never to cross the park at night anymore.....
