Pumpkin Meets

excerpted from Pumpkin Recipes

一眼望去，今天晚餐的菜色中有清蒸南瓜，

基於就在這邊半年的飲食經驗，

其實不信任會有什麼好味道，

因此基於健康飲食只拿了兩塊淺嚐。

沒想到在過度調味的菜色裡，

南瓜的清淡甜味反而別顯獨特，

果肉蒸熟成泥更突顯濃郁的口感。

Life in Viet

Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica

I've left my blogger idle for a long time. Though developing a habit takes 28 days said by experts, how soon to abandon a habit depends how much we rely on it. I am not good at introducing cuisine and jaunt, so it may be much easier for me to exert my soul of writer to express what I feel inside.

It has almost been half year to work in Vietnam, and my life become much simpler than before. Since we have internet to surfing the world without limitation, we still need to experience the real face on face. What you love most are excluded out of where you stay, you may easily feel hollow. That's why people say long-distance relationship is difficult to maintain.(well...seems kind of digressed)

In addition, the traffic of where I stay is really inconvenient, and it takes 90 minutes to leave for Ho Chi Minh City by car. I cannot be a backpacker based on the work time of 6 full days one week, and I suppose that I will not have the chance to ENJOY the Vietnamese slowness. Therefore, how to lead a normal life after work is the main issue. Reading and watching American or Japanese dramas become much important for me to enrich my life, learning Vietnamese as well.

I get one week off every two months, so I am planning to go abroad. But the obstacle is that our company limits our flight between Taipei and Ho Chi Minh, I am enforced to rearrange my schedule. At this moment, I am much envious of my friends who work in banks enjoying their 2-week vacation every year.
