Where do you go to escape ? On my balcony and I watch people in the street

What’s your favourite Vietnamese word or expression? I don’t really know Vietnamese words or expressions but when Thai, few days ago, mimed someone who shot with a gun, he said something like “Bòm Bòm” I guess, and it was really funny cause in France you say “Pan Pan” and other expression “Vớ Vẩn”.

What’s your favourite local dish? Roasted fish and fruits are awesome!

And what gives you a bellyache? Nothing for the moment

Where would you go on a hot date? At the swimming pool, to get tanned, I know for Vietnamese it sounds weird cause women are really white and it’s a beauty code to be the whitest possible, but in Europe it’s the contrary, everybody wants to get tanned
