Wow, lucky to break 3 limbs is a serious accident. You have good genes though with 2 grandparents over 90.
Thanks for playing.
Thanks for starting the game !
I did not not know you speak Viet.
I am always curious of people who visit my country.
Were you vacationing there?
I went back to my homeland a few years ago after leaving for 30 years.
well, my pronunciation is so terrible that you will need a few hours before starting understanding anything (in English my pronunciation is not that good neither). Yes I was in holidays and I enjoyed it very much. I spent a few weeks in a small village in the countryside were nobody speaks English, I will never forget that experience and the sense of hospitality of Vietnamese people
Hi Laurent,
Good to know you traveled quite a bit around the world. Which places did you visit in India? How was the trip like - if you still remember?
I spent about 3 months there, I took the train from Calcuta to Bombay (a 52hours trip), then Goa, Agra, New Dehli, Varanasi and back to Calcuta.
In 20 years it must have changed a lot… Do you still have rickshaws in the big Cities?
