Phu Quoc Island with "Mua Hong" song.





Last two months were such horrible time for me.
Too much busy at work, could'n think of any thing at all.
Fortunately, the story has and happy ended at least.
Sympathy for our hard working, my boss reward us a trip to Phu Quoc island, 80km
off-shore from Kien Giang Province.

So, I had a 4 days journey to there last week.
From this far away island, people around are very kind and helpful.
You could rend a motorbike, travel all day; when the sun goes down,
you leave your bike at some where, then come back to the resort with
no hesitation. Because, stealers, robbers or crimes are non-existent
here.

The foods here are also very good, especially sea-foods, and cheap of
course. We were even eat flesh fish at dinner party, cause it fresh
and sweet. The wine also tasty and unique, produced by some local
tropical fruits. Only vegetables are pricey, cause they must import
them from the continent.

About the tour: sea, sea and sea. Every where I go, I could smell the
wind, feel the warming water, taste the salt of the sea. There're more
than handfull of beautiful beaches around. The most attractive beach
is Long Beach, which is looks like heaven. At 200m off-shore distant,
water level is just on par with my belly! And I could clearly see
fishes swimming under the transparence, smooth as silk water.
Another place to visit is the sailor's village, located to the north
of island, where I could buy flesh squirts, sea-horse (good for male
:-).

Even in such a small island (450km2 squared), it's still exist a
waterfall at 600m height compare to the sea water level.
So on, there're lot of breath-taking landscape here. Just waiting for your trip.
Tonight, when finish my post processing, I'll upload some pictures on
picasa.

Welcome to visit, and I'm very happy to hear any comment.

I also have a song for you.
Composed by Trinh Cong Son. Performed by Khanh Ly. This song named: "Mưa Hồng".
Trịnh Công Sơn wrote this song when he was just over teenaged. He fell in love with a girl, a desperate mute love, cause she even didn't know him. How could he express his emotion? Just by a song:

Trời ươm nắng cho mây hồng
Mây qua mau em nghiêng sầu
Còn mưa xuống như hôm nào em đến thăm
Mây âm thầm mang gió lên

Người ngồi đó trông mưa nguồn
Ôi yêu thương nghe đã buồn
Ngoài kia lá như vẫn xanh
Ngoài sông vắng nước dâng lên hồn muôn trùng

Nay em đã khóc chiều mưa đỉnh cao
Còn gì nữa đâu sương mù đã lâu
Em đi về cầu mưa ướt áo
Đường phượng bay mù không lối vào
Hàng cây lá xanh gần với nhau

Người ngồi xuống mây ngang đầu
Mong em qua, bao nhiêu chiều
Vòng tay đã xanh xao nhiều
Ôi tháng năm gót chân mòn trên phiếm du

Người ngồi xuống xin mưa đầy
Trên hai tay cơn đau dài
Người nằm xuống nghe tiếng ru
Cuộc đời đó có bao lâu mà hững hờ
