Chapter 17: My Days in Saigon

Ah Dong and I decided to continue south, without hesitation, we just left, bought a ticket to Saigon, the scenery was good all the way, and it became more and more prosperous, Saigon is the most prosperous city in Vietnam, equivalent to Shanghai in China, is an economic center.

Get off the car, it's already seven o'clock in the evening, this economic center is different, before adapting to the simple street scene, this cold to the metropolis is still a little uncomfortable, Saigon's hardware construction is similar to the second-tier cities in China, but there are a lot of people, a lot of motorcycles, a lot of luxury cars, and a lot of luxury trots that I have never seen in China, I can really witness it here, and then I learned from the locals, it is very cheap to buy a car in Vietnam first, there is no so-called tax and other problems, In addition, a large number of people who drive luxury cars are Europeans and Americans or people from other countries, and there are many companies from other countries investing and doing business here in Saigon, so there is no shortage of big money here.

On the street, you can often see a handsome European and American guy driving a Bentley sports car with Vietnamese girls to brush the street, hey, I feel that it is indeed good to be rich, haha.

Adong and I booked a hotel to live in, because there are no distinctive and cheap B&Bs here, basically similar to domestic express hotels or small hotels, there is nothing special to speak of, just find a place to stay.

We both have a good sip of wine, so we found the world's famous bar street - Pham Ngu Lao Street, this street building is very old, retains the shadow of the French colonial time, and has Vietnamese characteristics, I like this street the most, it is not limited to sitting in which bar to drink, but a street is lined with businesses, are all small Maza, you want to sit where you can drink, sell anything to eat, after ordering snacks, just sit on the side of the road and drink, very casual, of course, you can also sit in the bar room to drink, But I think most people are willing to sit on the side of the road to drink, anyway, the house is very clear to hear the lively music playing, unless someone wants to jump into the house again, or everyone likes to sit at the door to drink, or drink on the balcony upstairs, while drinking while watching the lively street scene.

Once the two of us were drinking there, suddenly there were several security guards from the bar pressed a European and American drunkard, dragged out, to see that meant not to let him stay in the bar, the drunkard did not drink less, full of nonsense, it is estimated that the security guard did not understand what he said, I dare to say, he does not make trouble, the security guard will definitely not coax him, in the public place in Vietnam this is very good, the service must be in place, unless you make a mistake first, the drunkard has to go back endlessly, the security guard sees that this is really not good, I saw a buddy kick sideways, the foreigner knelt there directly, and several other security guards rushed up, held him down, and pressed his face to the ground, at this time the drunkard was not crazy, and limped away obediently, haha, why bother.

One night, Adong and I were still routine, went to the bar, this time we went into the house to drink, because this bar is a rendition, with the kind of singing, we want to go to see the rendition, after entering, we found a small corner and sat down, ordered a few bottles of Tiger beer, just in time for the stage time, Adong made a commotion idea, said do you want to go up and sing a song, to give us a boost, in fact, if I want to be in the country, I will definitely not sing, because in this way, the bar is quite disgusted with such guests, and then I pondered that it is also foreign anyway, Sing and sing, win glory for the country, haha.

I took my mobile phone and downloaded a song to accompany the red sun, and went to the position of the tuner on the stage, and communicated with him, the tuner said disdainfully that the singer would finish singing in a while, you sing again, I said okay, and then, I waited, and finally the singer was finished, it was my turn, and after I went on stage, I introduced myself in English, saying that I was from China to sing a song to everyone, thank you, slot, there were many guests at the bottom, but there was no reaction, no one paid attention to me, only Adong whistled there to cheer, not to mention how embarrassing, I look at it, no one gives face, What's more, I have to get my face back, I tried my best to finish singing this song, because this song is a fast song, it can drive the atmosphere, when I finish singing this song, but the response is different, the big guys applauded me, I'll go, I'm still quite embarrassed, at this time I repeat that I'm from China, hahaha is proud, backbone!

After getting off the stage, I returned to the booth, and Adong continued to drink, was drinking, a Chinese brother about forty years old, came over, sat in front of the two of us, and greeted the two of us, and later learned that the eldest brother in Vietnam and Cambodia is open, quite a row, the eldest brother happened to bring Chinese friends to the bar today, and asked the two of us to go over and have a drink together, we declined, but the eldest brother was very enthusiastic, and had to call us to go over together, saying that he bought this table of lists, Hey, we are still a little scared, forced to pass, to the wine table to chat, those friends and this big brother are Beijingers, really not far, in foreign meet Chinese even fellow countrymen, not to mention Tianjin, closer, chat and drink are very high, finally, the eldest brother told me that if you want to stay he can help, we left contact information, two o'clock in the morning, two o'clock in the morning, in Saigon two o'clock in the morning, it is not very late, basically the lights are red and green until dawn.

A few days later, my brothers and I went to visit the Reunification Palace, and ran to the post office, mailed a few postcards to domestic friends, and decided to leave here.

Then let's leave Cambodia, Adong, this stinky boy keeps saying, Along, when will you stabilize and when will I say goodbye to you, now I accompany you every day, it's really a good friend, haha.

Saigon to Cambodia is simple, the two countries are connected, buy a ticket and leave, so our brothers are ready to embark on the road to Cambodia.

Let's go there and see you in Vietnam, the days in Vietnam don't seem like I'm doing anything serious, haha, but I'm impressed.
