Today I went on a trip to the Perfume Pagoda(香山寺),a famous Buddhist temple(Chinese influenced(受影响),unlike Champa, which is Indian influenced).There was a thick crowd of worshipers(朝拜者),who did not respect the temple in our western way, they ate, drank, and smoked in the temple.
While I was on a train I could not find a place to throw away the orange peel and asked conductor.She showed on the floor, there was no garbage can on the train.When people in my rail car finished breakfast(it was included in ticket price)they throw away plastic caps, boxes and other stuff through the window.There are piles of garbage on all the road shoulders here.It is not only here, everywhere in Asia except for Japan and Singapore.By contrast(相反),the rice fields through which these roads go, are very clean, green and just beautiful.I did not see any agricultural machinery(农业机械).Everything is done by hands, they even pump water from water canals(渠)to fields by water buckets(桶).
According to Vietnamese whom I speak with, the peasants works 12-14 hours a day with no holidays or vacations.Just like my wife, however, she don’t have to stand in cold water like rice farmers do.Some of my readers was offended(冒犯)by my attraction to local food.I should explain that it is not that I sold my soul to pho.com and forgot our native hamburgers.I simply tried to use an easy to understand food examples to show my observation.The point is that the people of large countries such as USA or Russia are less willing and able to understand culture, customs and cousin of other people, then people of small countries such as Benelux.Because I travel a lot, I think I am more adaptable(适应),but up to a point.After I finished my soup, I noticed few caps with red liquid in them.I asked soup lady what is this.She showed me what it is.It was a blood.Even for me it was too much.Talking about blood, in the morning my sheets were spotted with blood from the wounds from fallings from the bicycle, from sea needles(针)and from sun burns.
