The disappointment in travel

i shoot anything which is said to be paris
The night of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City


I didn't have any disappointment cos' I didn't have any perception, impression or imagination of this city. Actually i quite like its food, coffee and handicraft, think its narrow houses, chaotic traffic and electric wires were interesting, though was a bit fed up with the propaganda everywhere. My mum was disappointed. She spent her childhood in Saigon when it was still a French colony. Maybe we all just romanticize the things in the past so what she saw nowadays was just ruins and dust.

Maybe it was just a wrong trip.

galaxy, you're right and one of the symptom of growing old is that you want to spend more time with family ;p (i'm referring myself)


britple, your list of next-stop should be quite long.

haha, I rather use "more mature/considerate", time is limited for everyone.

我一向對呢個地方無咩期望......不過你當係陪阿媽走一轉吧!your mum spent her childhood there? 越南華僑?

嘻,呢幅相影得好呀!好有動感!

galaxy, wise words, haha, give you a "Like"!

Vv, my mum was born in hong kong but spent a few years in vietnam because her mum (i.e. my grandma) had to go to work there so the whole family moved there, my grandma was cool, she knew kung fu ;p

britple, it's not a bad thing, you have many aims in life :)
