The travellers' stories

So,this happened during my recent trip to Vietnam,where I managed to bump into some really inspiring individuals.There were three of them.Here it goes...

The first traveller
A she.She was travelling alone.This Vietnam trip was considered an escape for her from those tremendous workloads in Manilla. She enjoys travelling alone and guess what she is an amazing person.She is the eldest child in her family,and she is the one who supports her brothers' education all these while.My respect really goes out to you woman,she must  have loved her brothers very much to sacrifice this much.

The second traveller
Bromance. Just kidding. They are freelancers who are currently spending their time to travel around the world. They had ditched their jobs in China,right after they came to realise the real meaning of life and they wish to cherish their youth by being wild and free at their ages.Working in China is really stressful according to them and they had decided to do so.This seriously placed me in 'awe'.What do you think?:D

The third traveller
He is not actually a traveller but since he was one of the persons I had met during the trip,I shall regard him as a traveller. He was my tour guide for a cruise trip in Halong Bay.He is a fresh graduate in Vietnam and just got his first job recently.We chatted quite a lot with him as he is really friendly and very outspoken.He told us that there are issues of education quality in Vietnam.Vietnam’s education has been “staying alone” and it does not have the international connection,thus fresh graduates like him get very low starting salaries.Most of the citizens of Vietnam are not subjected to education due to their background.So the people there really cherish the hard-earned opportunity for education.They just strive for a simple and well fed life,no others.This really touched my heart.It indirectly reminded me to value the slightest chance to improve myself,knowing that they do not even have the chance to do so.
