My story isn't too complicated. As a part of a volunteer programme, I came to Da Nang, Vietnam. The journey was long and tiring, yet funny. Flying from Warsaw to Da Nang, I had two stops: first in Zurich, then Singapore. Each airport has its own character and tells a little bit about the inhabitants of each country.
And so, the Swiss love nature - even in the train between the gates the passengers could hear some sounds of the countryside like birds and cows with their little bells. And it's definitely less noisy and crowded.
Next, in Singapore the nature can also be observed: there are many places with some fountains, trees and flowers. I arrived there at 6 am, so the airport wasn't too busy...yet it could be seen that people were a bit tired xd. Waiting for my flight, I noticed a funny scene: a little girl was running around the waiting room and suddenly she started hugging one man's leg. Unfortunately, it turned out that it was the wrong daddy which the men happily decided to announce to the whole room xd.
Anyway, when I finally got to the place of my destination I was struck by the hot and humid air. As it turned out, that wasn't the end of surprises for the day. There I was picked up by two Vietnamese: a girl from my internship programme and my host. They were both on motorbikes and I still can't believe that they managed to transport not only me but also my luggage (two suitcases: one big and one small). Actually, a motorbike is the most common of all means of transport in Vietnam. What is more, the thing that never stops surprising me is how they drive in here...for me it's just plain chaos: everybody honks, the rules are not followed only except from the lights, but even that is sometimes ignored! I don't even know whether they need to have a driving licence to drive a motorbike...probably not.
