You will never know enough about a person!

Yes, thats what I've been learning a lot. About human and how imperfect they are. I can pretty much stand any ugly characteristics such as laziness, or impatience, or greed, or inefficiency, or similar things like that but for sure I can never live with dishonest.

Human have sins. All my friends have flaws. I need to learn how to deal with them. But this friend of mine whom I just met a year ago lied to me about her life, her exes that she dated and made it seem like they were all bastards, when in fact she was the one that cheated on them and lied to them about her past. There is this one thing, but I should not say it out loud, just cos its little private for her. But its unbelievable that she even lied about it, so everyone can look at her like an innocent girl.
I actually realized we did not get along and stopped hanging out with her. Now more of the truth is being revealed... I guess its time I ended things.
I sound kinda mean, but I really dont believe much in changing people...

Now I know why my sister was right. Eventually the friends back in those days of junior high or high school will be the one will understand, love and be honest to us no matter what happens, or whoever we have become.

A little bit about health care in Vietnam

The intention of this article is not generalization!

----
So, as I was preparing documents to apply for jobs in Vietnam, it is required that I had to go to see a doctor for a general health examination. There's a form of list of things that a doctor needs to check with me to make sure I'm fit enough to work for the company.
To make things faster, I decided to go to this private clinic which I always spotted on the way for my designing class. I went in to talk to the receptionist about my work situation and the form I need to be filled. They understood immediately and asked me for 50,000 VND (about US$3). I was stunt so I just gave them the money, then got directed to go upstair for a doctor.

There I was upstair, greeted by another receptionist. He took my form and told me to sit and wait outside. Exactly 5 minutes later, a nurse came out and gave me my form. It was nicely filled with the doctor's handwriting, saying I was normal. Wow, he did not even see me for 1 second and he could totally write about my physical conditions. Anyway, I couldn't be more bothered with a 3-buck examination. He made my business go easier, what more could I ask?

I walked out of the clinic, wondering if thats what service or treatment other patients are receiving.
