Journey to Hoàng Su Phì (to Vietnam's terraced rice fields) 7 — The fun to look forward to after the workcation

Since I left home on a weekday, of course I keep working too. Yes, it's a bungalow high up in the mountains, but the Wi-Fi is connected. Remote meetings run smoothly too! On my morning walk I gaze at the rice terraces and juggle my schedule. Now, after breakfast, I've got to work hard all morning

Next to the restaurant there's a pool (water from the mountains), free to swim anytime. It's a medicinal herb bath so I didn't go in, but some people soak their feet here and rest idly, and others work. And the open cabin with no glass, just a roof, is free space. People have tea, chat and laugh; I used it as my workspace in the morning

After typing tiny characters on the computer screen, when I lift my gaze, before me spread the rice terraces, the blue sky, and the drifting clouds. Working wrapped in negative ions — it's the best

As time flows slowly, the staff do the laundry and cleaning too

The BGM is the sound of wind and birdsong. Even without deep breaths, your breathing turns pleasant. Motorbikes loaded with straw — feed for water buffalo and pigs? — come up the hill by the dozen in the morning. After working thoroughly, at noon I head a little downhill to town for a restaurant. They said the town was "right near the bungalow." "Right near" — I figure that means 2 or 3 minutes, but of course in Vietnam it's different, lol. Relocation Life Ranking
