Minor-major problem ...

...when a foreigner's bike breaks down. The bike was fine yesterday, and today - battery completely flat. Minor problem for locals. Major problem for me. To push bike up the slope from basement to the road, then push to the shop, try to communicate the problem and finally to get the batt fixed. Thank goodness the shop is just next door. End result - new battery and 385,000vnd (S$23) poorer. 

A "new" shop

Was surprised to see a new shop set up near our block recently. Stared at the big words but didn't understand as it was in Vietnamese. Didn't see the single very important English word at the bottom of the board - so blind!

So curiosity killed the cat and the cat went to take a peek at the glass shelf, and was bowled over ... rofl. Who would buy such stuff here at the hidden corner? Then again, who am I, a foreigner, to judge - here's wishing Rocket powerful sales!!
