After checked passport and visa at immigration our boat rode to the small city name "Chau Doc" Chau Doc is a river city close to the Cambodia border There are a number of floating houses which provide a convenient way for families to raise fish underneath On the way to hotel kids waved their hand and Say"Hello" to us, we saw the sunset it such a beatiful atmosphere
on the way to Victoria Hotel
The beautiful sunset
We arrivaled in hotel at 6.30 PM Victoria hotel is very nice hotel in Chau Doc because it's locate close to Bassac river When we checked in hotel we heard Some couple paid for private boat to Saigon my Paul bear talked with them a little bit after that we went to swim and took some rest
we went to the market and looking for travel agency we hope we could found boat to Saigon but just only bus and it takes 6 hours to Saigon we went back hotel immediately! my Paul bear did business talk with that couple Because they already paid 400 USD but lovely my Paul bear did a good job so he paid just 100 USD to them my Paul bear was born to be a genius negotiator It's best part of him and I really love the way he is Hope he will not bargain a dowry with my mom

Paul Bear & his Vietnamese girlfriend
We're in Saigon
The boat trip made me realized "What is the real happiness in our lifes?" When I was young I expected so many things as big house, expenssive car, great Job but after Thai economic was collapsed My family lost our restaurant business and more than that we lost my brother Now our happiness are not big house or expenssive car at all as one of Lord Buddha teaching said
"In one's life time,If we sould gave just a tiny teste of real happiness and peace Our life will be more steady more orderly and clam We'll be able to learn by ourself The true essence of life And will be able to pick and choose quality happiness And cut down on the fun happiness"
Don't waste your time with fun happiness do the good things to people who you love and tell them how much you love them Because Our life is so short
