:shock: This is so wrong! C'mon China... Stop authorizing the Internet so Violet could see these video clips. They are nice video clips. They're not about Communism or anything related to politics at all.

That's a nice site. The clips are a little too long for my taste, although I wouldn't mind watching them on an a tv. I liked the Amazon clip (didn't finish it though). Watched the rock climbing in China (also didn't finish) but they're very nice!

I have been watching them for two weeks. I like video clips that have nice commentaries, you know. They specifically take nice views to show you about the places also. That's what I like about those clips. I normally hate long clips, but I don't mind watching those clips at all. The clips I posted in my first posts are long. They're about 50 minutes to an hour long, but gosh, they're beautiful. That Singapore clip is just amazing. The Bali clip is nice as well. Actually, all of them are nice to my taste.

Well, he did ask me but I'm undecided. He teases that I'll have to wipe my ~ with a stick :cry: , LOL :lol: :lol: ... where "we" would be staying with his sister. I'm a big whiner but if I get to travel then I just might put up with it.

Gosh, I would say yes if I was you. C'mon, go with him to see his home country. And Thailand is nice. Beaches over there are one of the best. :wink: You'll get to tan yourself.

We'll see. Tanning... hm... I'd like that. :D Not really a beach person though, I'd rather go rock climbing and I'd love to have someone close to my age travel with us too so it won't be so boring.

Me too. I just watched it and I'm still shocked. It looks so dangerous and noisy. Yet I'd like to ride one of those motorbikes. It looks like fun. :wink:

It only looks crazy because it's rush hour and the focus is at one of those circular intersections where 5-7 streets merge together. Everyone is going slow so it's easy to maneuver the bike to avoid collision.

Yeah, it was funny. I liked the guy who was sitting next to the guy who was playing the guitar. He was so involved in his singing. :lol: Does anyone know what they were singing about?

Yeah, I bought one the first time I went there. And my first experience driving was going through rush hour like that. It was downright heart stopping.

Umm..I didn't know you knew how to ride a motorbike. So cool!
How much did you spend on it? And be honest! I know you just love to waste your money while traveling.

Approximately $600. After playing with it for 3 weeks, I gave it to my half-brother. Maybe I should record a part of my driving video for you...umm....never mind, forget it.

Người yêu ơi vẫy tay biệt ly
Em cô đơn trên con đường dài
Giọt nước mắt hãy lau thật khô
Vì không muốn thấy em u sầu
Tôi mong em từ nay
Hãy xóa hết tâm tư buồn vương

Người yêu ơi vẫy tay biệt ly
Em thênh thang trên con đường về
Giọt nước mắt hãy lau thật khô
Tình yêu đã tan theo mây trời
Tôi mong em từ nay
Nhìn lại con đường em đi trên
Đầy màu xanh.. u u ....

Yeah. The only thing I know is that Lennye makes a bad translator. Maybe I should include her on my "people who suck on EC" list? :lol:

*Shrugging* I dunno... It's a love song, that's all I can tell you. I don't know how to translate it into English since Vietnamese and English have different way of express feelings. Our way of expressing feelings is more similar to Chinese; therefore, when we do the translation into Chinese it doesn't sound stupid. However, when we do translation for songs or poems into English, it doesn't sound right to the ears at all. My cousin once said it sounds, "vo duyen thui!" :lol: , which means stinkingly nonsense or nonsense and stinky if you translate it into English. :lol: :lol: :lol:
