Follow your dream

If you have to chose a job that either you do not like it or you have a passion with it but for sure it will be harder, which your choice is?. My answer is that I will quit a job that I do not like. The time you decide to change which is also the time you face with so much stigma coming from your parents, friends. Being sure of that they can not understand you as you understand yourself. What most you give attention to that will bring enjoyable things to you. You can not stand feelings being back to you with regretful emotions. Maybe you're somewhere out of the path far away that other people think you should follow. Whoever you are should of follow your heart, try out to digging your soul land to find out your real dream by any way. Someday you grow older, looking back, feelings at that time might be evoking your youth period of time.

HappyWanderer

What motivated me to reveal a smoke-free coffee shop with you, if this question had been answered, the answer would be that it is worth spreading. Tea Talk Coffee is one of the brighest choices it will be too late to make a decision. With a cool space with cozy lights set wisely, you can sit down on the third floor overlooking down the tree-lined streets, and plus a drink with finest ingredients. It is also a place where I met some foreigners being from different countries. This week I have tea with HappyWanderer, who is a mid-30s Korean woman currently living in My Dinh. She has come to Vietnam with her husband who is always busy with his business. When asked about how her life was at the age of 20, I have at times felt that it seems she was pouring her heart out with me about her passed-through dream. She was eager to study aboard as what she thought first that it will be better for her future, and at once time studying aboard in Korea was considered a trend and fashion. However, there was in some trouble with being convinced for her parents' say-so and some state-given laws at that time as well, and finally she can not turn her dream into reality. On the other side, she is keen on studying accounting or something relating to business instead of English major. Sometimes her friends tell a joke with her that she should live with the age of 30 and forget the past. For now, she is very happy with a cozy family with under-10 two boys. Taking care of them is a matter of concern to her every afternoon after they get back to the house from the international kindergarden. Most especially, she is not good at cooking at all, even Kimchi known as a Korean traditional food. She is not a DeChangKu. With a win-win situation, I mean both of us can learn something from each other, another meeting will be sure of being available.

“ThunderTour” project

This is my idea passing through on full-of-thunder night connected between what I have learnt and my strengths. There are so many problems needing to be tackled, so let you advise me easily I will point out a bit about my project.

Based on the development of  tourism industry in Vietnam, I realize tourism’s potential should be exploited any more. I was wondering why do not try to design myself a special tour for foreigners coming to Vietnam for the first time and let them return to this place once time or even more.

In fact, in Hanoi there are some student-run organizations with aims at offering free tour guiding to foreigners such as HanoiKids and a newly organization run by Hanoi University’s students. I suppose if we change tour agenda and various yet different destinations, we can make a profit. Some words such as homestay, community tourism ,… all appears in my mind.

It should be known that everything has been kickstarted, so i need time to make everything become clearer. The problem about human resources, international payment, and how to attract customers getting ready to book our self-designed tour, all of them need your help. A period of  long enough time you have lived and worked in Vietnam that might help you know exactly which things you need to survive in Vietnam ( restaurants, destinations, accommadations,…). My mind is filled in them.

Setting up a fanpage on Facebook, publishing some articles about our tours on the site used for foreigners ( expat-blog, lonelyplanet.com, …) are one of these methods.

The standard for an eligble project should create jobs for another person. We are towards students like me who are looking for a part-time job applying both helping them improve their soft skills and getting a salary. We try to build up a group of profestional youth tour guiders who understand deeply about the poor community and Western cultures with the passion of  bringing a near-real Vietnam to international friends.

Everything is on paper. How to turn it into reality?....... I need enthusiatic partners.

Charles, an English 22-year-old boy.

I was in luck when I read Charles’s messages on the site expat-blog.com. He is 22 years old. He is from English currently working for the United States of America. His eagerness about language exchange made our interesting meeting. It was already 5 p.m, he took a message to me and asked exactly where I was. For me, I headed out to Pen Tower for so long because I came sooner, meanwhile he was standing on The Huc Bridge.  It was so surprising when I saw him, how to describe how handsome yet polite he is. He is a bit quiet than I image before.

Starting off the meeting by walking into half of the lake and trying out to look for a quiet space with coffee are all we can think of what’s next. I suggest “ Hapro 4 insinct seasons” with a 360-degree exit for both of us in need, but he is not keen on a crowded place. And of course, change is the best. What’s wrong with us then that depends totally Charles because at least he had lived in Vietnam 5 years ago. Finally, Highlands coffee is chosen by him. It will be better if you drink up coffee in Highlands instead of asking for a drink with fruit as what I have done. The price in Highlands coffee makes you sure of thinking of. Both of us came out the coffee shop, but do not know how to say goodbye, because it is time I must move back to my home town. It was already 7 o’clock.

I will teach him Vietnamese and he will help me learn English in return.

How do an introverted person act?.

Let me get started a new story everyday. When asked to respond to one question viewing on how my personality is, I can say that I am a real introverted person. I am sending this letter out to all of introverted people like me. Unlike other extroverted people, I like to let my finger to do the talking. I prefer writing to talking. It is easier to reflect on a particular idea through words. Taking time with social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Blog, .. is out off the chitchatting purpose. They really want to express themselves and dig deep all sides of this life. When they are asked about their opinions, they need much time to think and make a decision, always begin a respond by "To be candid with you...".
What almost people do not know about the invisible strength of introverted people. They draw on their own eligible target, and try out implementing it in solitude.

What's "Thunder Tour"?.

Hi everybody. Say "Hi" with all of people who have just seen my blog for the first time. The first question you was wondering that maybe what's "Thunder Tour", and why one blogger who do not have any first-hand experience in blogging decided to chose that name. If asked to respond to some kinds of questions I might be answering that it had originated from a full-of-thunder night about my own once-in-my-lifetime business idea.

I can not stand when I can not do something else that brings happiness to all of people and make comfortable for myself. Pursuing my dream seems a question hard to answer and taking first steps that is all I can do. My time is limited, and I can not waste it living somebody else's life, so I dare to follow it to the end. I know in this street, there are so many hardships waiting for me, challenging me at all levels. It is not a problem.
