The slim Vietnamese Girls

Coming down to Ho Chi Minh can really put you in a low confidence mode. The Vietnamese girls here are soooo slim!!! Ahh.. I feel so sad just looking at them. I mean I know they have a hard life and all and are not as fortunate as us to be able to eat good food everyday but..

I wanna have a beautiful body to fit into that tight little Ao Dai outfit too!!!

I just went and tailored make one. Went to An Dong market, chose a material that I like, and waited for 4 days for them to make one that fits me! Sounds easy right? Argh.. the trouble we go through to make one is... terrible!!! Although its cheap, just USD 35 altogether including the material, the miscommunication that comes with it is sooooo tiring I tell you.. Argh!

First of all you can't speak their language, so you have no idea that USD 13 does not include workmanship but includes only the cloth. Then when they tell you we have to pay an extra USD 40 for workmanship, you don't know it its for four of us, or only three of us.



Typical traditional outfits!


Confusing I tell you.

Thank goodness one of them finally came forward and spoke in Cantonese to us. Or else, World War 3 would erupt!

No wonder Vietnam has no weight loss advertisement around. None as far as I can see! Haha.. compared to US? Haha..

*Sigh*

When I was in the U.S. a few years ago, I lived near Little Saigon. Even the Vietnamese there were slim.
