Trip to Vietnam and HIV lesson by the " less developed but wiser " nation

From Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi - thanks Airasia



1st part of my backpacking trip Vietnam - China

1st : Hanoi >> China - Vietnam pass >> China - Detian waterfall



Vietnam and its living standard and educational level
Take a look at Hanoi
Please don't ask me about their GDP ( vietnam ), share market value etc
But I can show you their vehicles and dresses .
From here ,you can estimate their living standard .

1. Cycling to school , was me about my 20 years ago in Malaysia





A superficially less educated and less developed country - Vietnam
But they may be much more wiser than us .
Let take a look at their attitude about HIV - a disease that can burn a whole nation if you miss the early boat to wrap the inflamed wood logs


First , please travel around the capital city of Malaysia , Kuala Lumpur with its almigthy twin tower .
If you can find an advertisement board about danger of HIV in Malaysia that has increased 10 folds since 13 years ago .
I am willing to chop my head for you to sit on it , but only for 3 seconds ,
but please don't flatus on me .




Then ,please direct your focus point to the north and fix at Vietnam


During my bus trip from Hanoi to Langson - friendly pass between China Vietnam
I had seen at least a HIV promotion board by the roadside every 20 minutes , even though there are simple and cheap .


First 20 minutes



40 minutes later on the road



60 minutes later on my trip to border



1 hour 20 minutes later toward the friendship pass



100 minutes after left Hanoi





............. 4 hours later , at the friendship pass



Then I have arrived at the friendly pass between Vietnam and China
Langson - Ping Xiang

From there , it took me an overnight trip to get to Detian Waterfall , the largest transnational waterfall in Asia .
















Thanks , dear Vietnamese for your kind thoughts and taugths .
