It is Sunday and it is a rather ordinary weekend. It was fun to see my best friend from childhood last weekend, because that reminded me of all joy we used to have when we were little. The song contest “Melodifestivalen” was very popular and everybody wanted to be Carola. The singers truly are role models for future generations. So, it is rather interesting to see that nothing has changed. Watched the final yesterday. However, the texts are sometimes naughty with bad words, and I don´t understand that it is allowed. It should be censured.

I promised to write about HCMC. It has taken time for me how to formulate. I visited a friend from a previous work and his family. I learnt a lot about Vietnam life. It is right. Not to talk about the Vietnam war, but to focus on future generations. Vietnam really is a growing economy. Life is different. Family constellations are different from what I know in Sweden. Families help each other, over generations. Religion play a role, but not so much. I saw the beautiful incense as you can see below.

The weather was delicate in Saigon. Hanoi was cooler. I went a lot by taxi in HCMC. I didn´t walk much just because it was impossible. And there were motorbikes. A lot of motorbikes.
