Vietnam by mistake, that is the name we often call my Thai friend. " Di xe om co oi, Co co muon mua khong?" These are questions Vietnamese people often asked my Thai friend when they met her. They did not know that my friend comes from Thailand, she is not a Vietnamese. Until now, the picture of a beautiful and funny girl is still in my mind. Her name is Lu. She comes from Thailand and she is very nice. She is so look like a Vietnamese that none can recognize her when she walked with us. There were three members in our trip. Paul is a man came from England. He is a photographer. Lu came from Thailand and I. Therefore, Vietnam, UK and Thailand traveled together. We call me "Vietnam by birth or region", Paul  "Vietnam by belief" because he loves Vietnam especially Hanoi. Lu "Vietnam by mistake" because she is a "Vietnamese" :-). We spent most of our time walking around Hanoi to track the photos of local people. All of us were very happy because we traveled together and discovered many interesting and new things. Paul was always interested in "portable restaurant, family and garden on motorbike". Lu always told us funny stories and smiled when we looked at her. I was always beside them to make sure that they were still OK in Vietnam. We love each other like good friends and I miss Vietnam by belief and Vietnam by mistake so much. Thanks you, Paul and Lu and I also thank the person who is sharing the happiness with me.

Have a wonderful day!
