This is my 60th post on this blog since I opened it. To be honest, I did not think I would write 60 posts...

Yesterday, I lived an unexpected experience that surprised me very much: I went, after meeting some friends, to Yoko for my regular "good sound injection". I was enjoying the music, the ambiance, the people and of course my favorite band ! Then Minh, the drummer, started talking in Vietnamese and people got crazy, shouting, applauding. The ambiance became electric. 2 fashion ladies stood up and came to the stage to sing. I did not know them but I understood that they were superstars. The crowd started singing with them and I could tell from Hung's smile and the others' as well that they were very proud to sing with these 2 ladies. They sang 2 songs but I was quite familiar with 1 of the songs. I must have heard it when I went shopping some day to Citimart...
Being in the middle of the crowd and not understanding what was going on, I understood what it meant to be a foreigner in Vietnam. Not knowing what's going on is a bit scarry but it is also a great feeling. I was amazed to see how people could go crazy for these 2 singers and I was very happy to share this moment with them.

In a different subject, it is funny to see how the past comes back to present from time to time... I was just chatting with... Ben ! A year ago I was trying my best to stay away from him and today, we chat about anything and everything... Cannot believe that 1 year already went through...

Carpe diem my friend !
