Ha Noi is filled with falling things today.
First there is this pouring rain that makes walking on the streets an experience of a lifetime. I now understand what my teachers meant when they said that they did not like heavy downpours as the streets would become rather dirty.
Yup. They are right on that point! One thing for certain. I am definitely training up my calf and toe muscles trying to tip-toe around things on the ground that I or my feet have absolutely no real interest in finding out what they really are.
The other falling things I encountered today are fruits from trees.
What are the chances of someone being hit on the head by falling fruits?
I guess not too improbable if there are many trees with fruits along the streets.
But what are the chances of being hit on the head twice?
Hmm. Any mathematicians out there who can enlighten us?
Well. I have the luck of the draw to be that statistic today!
The first hit me on the chin on its way down. Yeah. Some of you would say that this is the price to pay for a prominent chin!
The second hit me on the right side of the head.
Both were harmless. No real pain suffered (yeah, the thick skull helped).
But the second fruit was pink and rather ripe. So suddenly yours truly have pink-coloured hair in the middle of Ha Noi.
Hahah. Free dyeing!
It could also explain why people on the streets were giving me strange looks.
What a day.
Lesson - When raining in Ha Noi, either stay indoors or bring a hat (preferably a metal helmet would be the best) along!
By the way, Ah Wong, I saw your comment. Aiyah. I met the guys when I was back at the usual haunt. I was told by Chia then that you were not free that night.
