I'm home!

Dear friends,

I?Tm back! It?Ts already 4 days after I returned home. Thank God! My parents are all fine. Three pieces of baggage, which I?Tve sent by sea mail, still haven?Tt arrived yet. No any personal accessories for me. So, on the first day, I went to downtown to buy toothbrush, some clothes, hat, mask, gloves and so on. HCM city is so hot and its air is so terribly dirty.
The first time in ages I came back HCM, somewhere have changed. It makes me feel that I?Tm a stranger in my hometown. Now, the things that I need most are a bike and a washing machine. The washing machine in my house is too old to wash clean. Unbelievable! It takes two hours for one time. BTW, I must find a job first!
Yesterday, I went to town office for re-registration (nhập hộ khẩu). The bureaucrat of administrator made me feel so sick.
Ah~! I was shocked, surprised and tired at some thing. The big shock that I?Tve become a poor speaker in Vietnamese. Oh, my God!
In this week, I want to do some sightseeing of the city, say hello to my friends, find a job, and prepare for a new life. It ?~s good to be home!

Welcome you to come back. But it's regret to know you are not in HaNoi, because most of EC members are in Ha Noi . But if you have any trouble about new life, we are willing to help you.
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave

Oh, poor thing!!! Forget vietnamese yet can't speak English that good. Well, but I guess you can speak more than 2 languages (including vietnamese), right?
Don't get mad. I was being honest.

I'm glad to see you, too 010.
The truth is, I really can't speak Chinese, but someway I can understand its character. Because in Japanese, we use lots of Chinese character. The Japanese people call them "Kanji". I've just learnt Spanish for one month. Yes, a very little bit Spanish. It's very interesting! Not prettier and harder than English, but Spanish pronunciation is very easy.

Dear Sorority_GirI,
Donâ?Tt apologize to me! You are right! Everybody says like you, because we are proud of our country. Five years in Japan, I didnâ?Tt use mother tongue everyday. So, I react to Vietnamese a little slowly. Forget native tongue? Absolutely, not. Iâ?Tm sure my Vietnamese is going well after a month.

Welcome back ! I had been waiting for your information on " Free talk......." , but I didnt see you there. Yet , how luckily, I now see you again.
I want to say this to you: Five years is not a long time for a person living far away her/ him country feels hard to speak her/him native language. ( You said you've become a poor speaker in Vietnamese.)
Anyway,hope you will get your Vietnamese better soon and find out a good job.
