My First Vietnam Trip It was the first time I've been to Vietnam. One of my weakness is to be punctual, I didn’t use to be not a very punctual person, but I’ve learned to be more responsible with time through a small thing I saw from my last journey to Vietnam. I met people from Germany, Australia, and mostly France. We were given only 20 minutes break before we continue our journey. So everyone was supposed to use the time given as effectively as we could, go to the toilet, buy some food, have a cigarette break, have some snack and all. I was still chilling out while buying some bread, but everyone (before the 20 min break end) already stood standing near our bus, waiting for it to be opened. I was so stunned by their punctuality. I should be more punctual, respect punctuality by the smallest things first. By travelling, it I was motivated more to learn a new language not to be afraid to talk with someone new and to be more helpful towards others even though they are strangers. It reminds me of one time when we were nowhere in Vietnam, and we ran outgas. There wasn’t anything around us which we could dependable on. Since the nearest gas station was more than 2 miles away. In hilly mountain, pushing our motorbike would be our longest 2 miles. Luckily, there were a friendly Spanish group of people willing to help us. One of my friends had a very brilliant idea of pushing our motorbike with a foot while riding a motorbike at the same time. It’s a creative way to help other motorbikers who has run outgas. Unfortunately, they don’t didn’t understand, what we were talking about because of our language gap, but they still very enthusiastic to help us. Because of it, we swap motorbike, my friend who understands the way to push motorbike with one leg, while the other leg still driving the motorbike, so one of the Spanish man on the broken motorcycle. Eventually, because of those reliable people, who we don’t even know their name until today, we succeeded to get to the nearest gas station and safely arrived in the city :)
