Ngan Ha, the girl earning money for travelling
I luckily know so many travellers coming from everywhere, Vietnamese and foreigners. My character is very odd, I love it when someone, espicially the girls, go travelling, uhm, because I think that Vietnam society still has so many prejudices, the girls have to get married, cook well, … and everything, I really admire the girls who go travelling. Ha is a friend of me on facebook (facebook account: Ha Xinh). I have made an interview with her when I know how much she has travelled.
Where is your first journey?
If calculated from the trip I myself booked tickets and looked up for information, it is the year 2010. That time, I and my friends participated in a wedding, and the next day come to Phu Quoc. From that time, I love travelling. Everytime I stay home, I almost have itchy feet, and have to set out. However, I don’t have many chances, I just travel in Vietnam.
To this time, you have travelled to where? As much as possible
When it comes to foreign country, I only have come Sing, Cam, Thai.Vietnam and Cambodia tours are the most memorable tours with me, but Thailand is the country I have visited the most because I combine work and travel. In Viet Nam, I almost come all lands, from Ha Giang to Ca Mau. I have not visited Tay Nguyen for a long time. I wish next year I can come to visit Tay Nguyen and conquer the easternmost for 4 poles, one summit and two forks.
Which makes you most impressive? Tell me about your impression
I have different impression with different destinations. When it comes to beach, I am most impressed by Ly Son, which is so so beautiful. I have never found anywhere else with more gorgeous colour of water than this so far. However, it’s a pity that people are not conscious of protecting the environment and make it full of rubbish.
The second is Tan Thanh Border Checkpoint. I nearly couldn’t go home because I asked for an item but didn’t buy. It is because the item was not as advertised. I was threatened to be killed and beatened if not buying. I have swore that I would have never backed to that place. Now whenever I visit the North, I just buy at the store whose price is available. I am afraid of being scolded.
The third is teenagers in Quang Ninh. Some days before I have had an accident in Quang Ninh. Seeing me walking difficultly, people asked and helped me everywhere I came, making me very impressed. The beach is beautiful, and the dishes are delicious. The last is Hoi An. I have been on Hoi An holiday packages many times, but do not feel bored. It is the place which bring me the peace whenever I came.
In conclusion, all destinations brought to me interesting expreience, about not only scene but also people. When I come uplands, and ask old men who don’t know the Kinh language for ways, they show me enthusiastically but I don’t understand anything.
As usual, how much is the expense for each of your trip?
I rarely estimate the expense for each trip in advance. However, I think that 10 million VND is enough for a trip by motorbike in our country. It is excessive. In my opinion, going travelling means enjoying, eating, sleeping, and trying specialities. Only vacations at resorts take very very much money. I often travel for only 12 days, consume under 10 million VND.
Where is the money for your journeys from?
Everyone often thinks that my parents are wealthy so I rove all day and night. However, my friends all know that I have a clothes store, and I spend all the money I earn on going travelling. I am not interested in shopping as other girls.
How travelling affects your life?
I have put aside per month to build a house, but finally, spend all on travels. I don’t buy new motorbike, too. At the beginning, my mother often grumbles, but now, I just need to tell her before hours to go for days. My customers ask me why I don’t stay home to do trade other than travelling. Generally speaking, adults often see travelling as a waste, and if I have put aside, it may be a large amount now.
However, I think that, visting places helps me see the thing I just see through books or newspaper. I have been attracted by the ways to Lung Cu. It is so majestic.
Do you wanna tell the girls who wants to go travelling but can not anything?
The life is short. Don’t wait to be old to enjoy the trips you wish when you are young. The girls almost tell me that they financially depends on their family, so parents do not permit they to go. It is a way to persuade parents if you can control your financial problem and prove your independence.
The second is the timetable. I can not tell everyone quit state work, but I really can not resist 8 hours in office.
