Taken from the roof of my building, about 6:30 pm.

The city provides trash cans in the city, but it seems that they all face the street. I guess it’s convenient. I guess I can picture the thinking of the city planners. When you’re driving down the street at top speed, you often suddenly have to throw out some trash. You can break to a stop in these super-crowded streets, open the window, lean waaaaay over the curb, and deposit the trash into the can. It makes sense. Sure it does.

This is convenient. I can watch movies and study Vietnamese at the same time.

I learned a lot of Chinese using this technique, when I was living in Taiwan. I think this will be very useful for learning “real life” Vietnamese.

Doesn't quite roll off the tongue in English.

I admire this guy's courage. Not for pissing in public. That's rude and disgusting, not admirable at all. But you have to hand it to a guy who is brave enough to piss on an electrical installation that is clearly labeled "high voltage."

I prefer to drink my coffee, not rub it on my skin.
