**DAY 5**
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF3Gn15dMi
Tinjau's first stop was much closer than he had anticipated. However, what surprised him even more was that a one-way ticket on Vietnam Airlines to Ho Chi Minh City was more expensive than a round-trip ticket on British Airways to London on the same day.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rrp65CvO2
Since Virgin Atlantic does not operate flights to Vietnam, Tinjau had to pay for his ticket out of his own pocket. When he learned that a one-way ticket to Ho Chi Minh City was $200 more than a round-trip ticket, he protested against Siupui for her reckless spending of his money.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivIRPzg1TV
"What do you know? A one-way Ticket represents a choice of lifestyle." Siupui retorted confidently. "It signifies a commitment to true freedom, without the burden of worrying about when to return, or even needing a plan—just the desire to go wherever you want."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcLjY399XA
"It sounds like the behavior of a nouveau riche." Tin
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BLixS1n90
"I could eat nothing but bread for a month, sleep in a sleeping bag, and skip showers, but I will never compromise on my stance regarding a one-way ticket," she insisted. "Have you forgotten what I told you? For an urban white-collar worker, true luxury isn't about how to spend money, but about taking a real long vacation. What you need to do now is to immerse yourself in the travel mindset as quickly as possible."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLYPGSQ1vN
The plane was small, with only a few dozen seats, and it was less than half full. Aside from the two of them, the rest were all returning passengers with tour group badges.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTN2KQn2kg
It turns out that there are Vietnamese tourists visiting our city for sightseeing, Tinjau thought. Although Vietnam is considered not an affluent country, there will always be a middle class.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDdIlw7TQw
During the voyage, Tinjau was consumed by anxiety. This was his first experience traveling alone. They hadn’t booked a hotel, and he had no idea how to get from the airport to the city center (when he used to join tour groups before, he was always picked up and dropped off by private vehicle).
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOx6AFe3uQ
Siupui, on the other hand, appeared completely at ease. Tinjau watched her lazily reading a book, but he are could not swallow his pride to share his inner turmoil with Siupui.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CbDXG4TT6
The challenge soon presented itself.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdDkFXOSk2
At the Immigration and Customs of Ho Chi Minh City, the officer who responsible for checking visas was rudely scolded Tinjau in Vietnamese and sent him back.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E3WEWmn1w
He turned around and found that Siupui had successfully cleared immigration at the adjacent counter and was unable to help him.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q7cx7nAtW
Tinjau stood in the middle of the transit hall, holding his visa and passport, feeling lost and unable to find anyone in uniform to ask for help.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnjwp4rEN7
Finally, he mustered the courage to join the line at the next counter. The officer there had a slightly better attitude. He pointed at the blanked “Name and Address of the hotel “ column in Tinjau's immigration declaration form and scolded Tinjau in Vietnamese again.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ksQyoW10v
Tinjau tried to explain to the officer in English that he hadn’t booked a hotel in advance, so he couldn’t fill in any information in this column. But the Customs officer refused to listen, ordering him to step aside for the people waiting behind him.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34gy5t6QR
Tinjau thought to himself: (Does Vietnam not allow travellers to enter the country without a local contact address (hotel address)? Do they suspect I’m a terrorist and will endanger their national security?)
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AfA5gb1Eb
(That make sense. If a stranger visit here for the first time and chooses to buy a one-way ticket to enter someone’s country during the non-tourist season, and he even without a hotel reservation or having a clear purpose for visiting, and just hanging out. It is reasonable that stranger will not welcome by them. Will I going to be sent back on the same flight?)
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04lqn0o4Q
After thinking wildly for several minutes, all the other passengers on the same flight had cleared immigration, and he couldn’t find anyone to ask for help.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e3aHjMNEk
Without other options, Tinjau could only rehearsed his body language several times in his mind and approached a group of middle-aged male staffs chatting and smoking by the wall. Through observing the demeanor of them, Tinjau didn’t expect them to understand English.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsH2OvfBoy
To his surprise, when Tinjau approaching them, they greeted Tinjau warmly with smiles, a stark contrast to the attitude of the Customs officer. Tinjau tried to explain his predicament to them using simple English and gestures.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzoGjclYox
As soon as they saw the entry declaration form Tinjau had filled out, they immediately knew what was wrong.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5FGoqRQu
"Are you Chinese? Then just write 'China'." They even understood a bit of English and insisted that Tinjau write "China" in the "name and address of the hotel" section.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcG774KGeX
Tinjau giggled inexplicably for a while, and then they grabbed the pen and paper and filled in "Hotel" after "China".
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlCRQmaDqV
Suddenly, it dawned on Tinjau: all he had to do is scribble on the form. He quickly filled in all the blank columns of the declaration form with random English words and handed it back to the officer.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgg2QU7KZt
After the customs officer read the declaration form, he stamped his passport. Entry permitted.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IS7jzI4nK
After glancing over the form, the officer stamped his passport. Entry permitted.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd4QJLpI4w
After having this experience, Tinjau no longer afraid of facing Customs officials from the unfamiliar countries. Bureaucratic attitudes are the same everywhere in the world.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z58Y5QMRU
When Siupui say, "You’re a man, so you should take responsibility for everything," sparked Tinjau’s pride. He negotiated with the taxi driver boldly, managing to haggle the fare from twelve dollars down to eight dollars with his broken English successfully.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY1Zb1zcce
He was generally is a man not to bother with trifles and didn't like to bargain. This time he argued rarely with others in order to save face, but he felt very satisfied after the success.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFB6eRuu7n
Though it was a small victory, it marked a significant character breakthrough for Tinjau. He began to understand the excitement Siupui felt when she first tasted garlic bread in Madrid.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWcfWlkkTa
The most satisfying thing was being praised by the taxi driver for his excellent English. Tinjau thought to himself, "In my twenty-something years, the most common response I’ve received when speaking English to people from other countries is 'Pardon?' I’ve never been complimented on my English speaking skills before.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6mcewsJpI
According to the travel guide in his hand, Tinjau chose a hostel popular among backpackers. At 15 US dollars a night, the price is not cheap, but the room was clean, and the air conditioning was sufficiently cool—essential conditions for Tinjau at this moment. All these making the extra cost worthwhile.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HJJzb5cFU
What disappointed him was that Siupui stopped Tinjau who was trying to fish in troubled water in a serious manner. She forced him back to the reception lobby and asking him to change the room from the deluxe room with double bed to two single rooms. Even the receptionist, a girl who looked very elegant in a golden cheongsam, couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa2UCegj9v
(It's not like I haven't slept with her before. She even kissed me in the graveyard and travelled with me. But now she suddenly becomes reserved when we arrived hotel. Women are truly contradictory beings, aren’t they?) Tinjau thought.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUP6goVxZA
Since arrived Vietnam, Siupui seemed to have changed. She suppressing her activeness and independence that are particularly obvious in her character. She follows Tinjau quietly like a little woman and expecting him, this novice backpacker to be her guide.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n5H9388pW
Tinjau was more than happy to play the role of the macho. Before setting off, he had read through two well-known travel guides and had a general idea of the popular tourist spots in Ho Chi Minh City.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6tqn5t8l5
Following the pre-planned route in the travel guide, they visited the Neo-Romanesque Notre Dame Cathedral, Giac Lam Pagoda, Ben Thanh Market, the War Remnants Museum, and etc. Within two days, they had almost covered all the tourist must-visit places in the city that were air-conditioned and elegantly decorated.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu2Df8HDwc
They primarily took taxis but also tried the cyclo rides which are popular among tourists. They dining at food courts that accepted US dollars, enjoying exquisite Vietnamese cuisine that tasted almost identical to the upscale Vietnamese restaurants in their hometown.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccJ1eSqW5d
**DAY 7**
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Ot41Wwyx
By the third day, Tinjau was feeling utterly frustrated. This is because he had been hurt by a group of tourists the previous night.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe8ADrEWmO
He thought that following the routes carefully designed by experienced backpacker in the travel guide and occasionally altering the itinerary based on personal preferences would be the smartest way to travel.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAskU2LPYIW
But to his dismay, they visited five scenic spots that day, encountering the same tour group from their hometown at four of them. Even the place he chose for lunch was the same as that tour group.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs85jAtV2XZ
Some members of the tour group noticed this coincidence and began to whisper among themselves, "What a brave couple to backpack in Vietnam."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdFp74D4ev
However, when tour guide of their group caught wind of this, he seized the opportunity to promote his travel agency.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5LOH7EO3W
"Our six-day package, which includes meals, accommodation, and transportation, is only xxx dollars, but if you choose to travel by yourselves, you can’t even buy a round-trip air ticket at this price." The tour guide said.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHnPSefD0C
"Aren’t they foolish that not to join the tour and would rather go on their own?" an oblivious tour group member asked. "
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIe98dQmvP
"Perhaps they think it would be smarter to design their own itinerary. But as you can see, the itinerary we carefully designed for our group members is no different from the one we planned by experienced backpackers..." That tour guide bragging with their tour group members proudly.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcybyx7ov7H
"I’m sorry for causing you to be ridiculed by them yesterday." Tinjau said while sipping beer by the Saigon River.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMd59IC9aR
"Don’t take it to heart. I don’t care it at all." Siupui said.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwoAfQrAZS
"What frustrates me the most is that what they said is entirely true. I’ve been asking myself these past few days: Is this what we considered as backpacking? Is this the experience that backpackers want to pursue in Vietnam? Just visiting museums, browsing souvenir markets, dinning in expensive restaurants, and taking cyclo rides?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTftp2uJ4dK
"What do you think?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfsqHZn3gl
"Siupui, what do you backpacking veterans do in other countries?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjWHwxVndT
"I don’t want to tell you."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDJx5FWWOK
"Why not?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwqohJsW6W
"Of course, there are so-called 'backpacker routes' for the veterans. But the question is, is this the travel style you desire?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKk9ukDVKp
"At least when I’m carrying a backpack, I want to act like a backpacker, not like a fool wasting money by not joining a tour."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa48jtO1EG3
"When you put on a tie, you desperately try to appear as a successful white-collar worker. When you carry a backpack, you want to become a backpacking veteran. So, the person you are now is no different from when you’re working in the office. The only difference is that your cage has moved from the office to here." Siupui said to Tinjau.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmddzUAd2g
"...Then what should I do?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwMoWxyAw
"There’s nothing to do; just do what you enjoy to do. Don’t worry about whether it’s what experienced backpacker do, and don’t care about others’ opinions. True backpacking means 'freely moving around,' not just following wherever backpacker will go. And you would dare to go to the places that experienced backpacking wouldn’t go."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQBhky8Gb
"...It’s hard... I’m not used to it." Tinjau drank off his beer. "
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pq7Q91Qb3
"Then start getting used to it from now on." Siupui tossed him a new bottle of beer and finished her own. "Your first lesson is to get drunk and forget everything in a strange land."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2kFFT5Sa9
In the end, Siupui was the only one who got drunk. This girl looks like an innocent high school student, but when she drinks, she was intrepid as a strong man. However, her way of drinking didn’t come off as 'bold' but rather left a feeling to Tinjau that she is a bit gloomy.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1WmH0NAT6
After carrying Siupui back to the hostel and threw her onto the bed, he took a wet towel from the bathroom and gently wiped her flushed face.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInvqpP1HNf
It seemed she had longing to get drunk for a long time, and finally, that night, her wish was fulfilled.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHAOHWOmmQ
Tinjau recalled the night they had one-night stand. He was the one who was drunk and unconscious at that time, but what about Siupui? Did she remain sober that night?
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRTQcWZwps
Why was it that she could only watch him get drunk that night, while tonight she finally found her release? What was the difference between these two nights?
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj43w5eBPcE
Compared to the night when we in the love hotel, Siupui's sleeping face tonight was clearly shadowed by a cloud of gloom. Her frowning brows remained tense even in sleep.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLEdEyULdX
…
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwVOAh9yFX
Tinjau didn’t dwell on it too much. After covering Siupui with a blanket, he returned to his room to sleep.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXIlVgCLuG
**DAY 8**
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F3x7J2YMh
It was just past six in the morning when Tinjau woke up. After tossing and turning until 6:30am, he could no longer stay in bed and decided to get up and explore.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG2dTRFrRb
When he arrived at the reception desk in front of the main entrance, he noticed that the Vietnamese girl in the golden cheongsam from yesterday was not on duty. She must have finished her shift. He had originally planned to chat with her to pass the time.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ6vsbE5kW
Tinjau had a good impression of this simple girl.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZxG21fRC
The hostel they stayed in was only a fifteen-minute walk from the Saigon River. Tinjau had managed to find his way back to the hostel while carrying Siupui on his back last night, so he figured he wouldn’t get lost if he takes a walk along the riverside during the day.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jeh9vvF3l
Strolling along the Saigon River, Tinjau realized that he could not feel the beauty of the Saigon River by simply walking along the riverbank. He casually boarded a small boat, negotiated a price with the boatman, and let him use a long pole to guide the boat into the winding waterways surrounded by aquatic plants. Now this was the tropical vibe he had been looking for, and his mood brightened instantly.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwWipNlP06
The boatman spoke good English and was quite friendly and chatty, which gradually made Tinjau lower his guard and improved his overall impression of the Vietnamese.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxtLsadPrz
After an hour on the boat, Tinjau almost reluctantly said goodbye to the boatman. Once back on shore, he excitedly strolled along the riverbank, looking around for other interesting things.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFGjZmtr9G
Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder from behind. Tinjau turned around and saw a middle-aged Vietnamese man on a motorcycle and wearing a blue baseball cap, smiling and greeting him in fluent English. .
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IlunicZdy
After chatting for a while, Tinjau decided to hop on the motorcycle of that Vietnamese man for a USD2 ride, during which the man would show him around the various landmarks in downtown Ho Chi Minh City.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gLqRUx8aK
As they rode around, Tinjau was take out of the city center by the man.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4BqxGAdbP
After visiting two small Buddhist temples in the suburbs, the man drove the motorcycle into increasingly remote areas. At this point, Tinjau began to feel uneasy, but the man continued to chat with him politely, making it hard for him to suspect this man have any bad intention.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ITq95cXY
About half an hour later, they got out of the car in front of a dilapidated teahouse located like an isolated island in the middle of a vast wasteland.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzQFvgDcJO
There were a few locals sitting in the teahouse, drinking Coke and smoking. The man wearing a hat invited Tinjau to sit down, ordered two cans of cola from the barmaid, and continued chatting with him, casually pulling out a rolled-up item to smoke it with enjoyment.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMLVx9Kfl
So that’s what it is. Tinjau had suspected that this man was more than just a motorcycle guide. This man turned out to be a marijuana peddler to foreigners.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfjV2lySBK
Tinjau had never tried drugs before. Although he was well aware the dangers of the drugs, he felt a natural curiosity to try it, which is a common human nature.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AhDWIK0S1
After the warm reception from the boatman earlier that morning, Tinjau felt emboldened and reached out to take the other joint the man took out from his pocket.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmdhZSpkB
"How much?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgQawYmSih
"Very cheap! USD20!"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXWHA1nWSw
Tinjau wasn’t sure about the market price. But it wasn’t an unaffordable amount, so he willingly paid.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN6A5RmT9u
Leaning lazily in the outdoor tea house chair, Tinjau took a puff, squinting his eyes into slits, his mind drifting into a state of carefree oblivion.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2mNLV1TqQ
The man in the hat patted Tinjau’s shoulder friendly and invited him to go into the private room inside the teahouse to continue to enjoy his joint, which he didn’t resist.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXusyZlbUT
However, as soon as Tinjau saw the layout of the private room, he suddenly realized something was off and refused to go in no matter what.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp5HtNc1lw
Inside the shabby wooden house was a room adorned with luxurious wallpaper. The room featured comfortable black sofas, a large television, and two microphones resting on the coffee table.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfILJgKOKOr
On the sofa, two sexy girls in tight black tank tops were sitting. They were the same waitresses from the tea house.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DQh5CfJiE
It was basically a pornographic place packaged as a karaoke nightclub.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FOm7sTP3M
At that moment, Tinjau was completely sober. Not wanting to expose the shady intentions of this establishment, he pretended to be oblivious and insisted that it was more comfortable to sit outside, and insisted on returning to his original seat and sitting down. Tinjau began to pressure the man in the hat to take him away as soon as possible.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMuAdtrm4A
The man agreed, offering Tinjau another can of cola, saying they would leave after he finished drinking.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAWgQpfH0y
While drinking the cola, the man kept asking Tinjau how the waitress behind the bar looked like. Tinjau pretended do not understand what he means and responded perfunctorily.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi5oeks5si
When Tinjau almost finished his coke, the man pointed at the girl and asked Tinjau directly, "Do you want to have sex with her?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NnJep0KpW
Tinjau didn’t dare to engage in such activities in this remote area. God knows how much it would cost to just sit in that private room, have some peanuts, and drink a beer or something like that?
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P5TyZlTHC
He had heard about such schemes before; they would force a large amount of food and drinks into the room, and then the girl would gorge herself. The man would start by touching her hands and legs, and only after he was “done”, then he realizes that she had consumed food and drinks worth thousands of dollars.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMu7k88X01
Tinjau immediately replied that he didn’t want a woman, saying that he had a friend waiting for him in downtown and needed to leave right away.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBBVObL3Xl
He thought to himself: I’m just not going to do it; let’s see how they can handle me!
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjlgn9g4mL
After finishing the cola, Tinjau got back on the man’s motorcycle to leave. However, that man took a route that was the opposite of the way they had come, veering off into countless small paths before merging onto an unfamiliar highway.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBDGZ40x1O
Tinjau kept reading the road signs written in Vietnamese. After a long time, he still didn’t see the sign written "Ho Chi Minh City."
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ216iLdSUNZ
About thirty minutes of driving, the man in the hat parked the motorcycle on the roadside in a wilderness area, saying he needed to relieve himself. Less than a minute later, another motorcycle pulled up beside theirs. The short man Tinjau had seen at the outdoor tea house got off and walked over, speaking a bunch of Vietnamese mixed with English foul language.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1JLzX9pkJ
When the man in the hat returned from his break, he translated for the short man, saying that Tinjau had forgotten to pay for the two cans of cola.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7giVhnYywt
Tinjau asked how much the cola cost, and the short man held up two fingers. He thought it meant two thousand or twenty thousand Vietnamese dong or something.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOftrzixp6
The man who can speak English explained to Tianyou that the price of the two cans of cola was 200 US dollars.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ05NJY39Cj
That’s about three million Vietnamese dong.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1mDValRvN
Tinjau immediately said he didn’t have that much money, and the short man retorted in English, "Do you wanna die?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wqS5D7X8w
The man in the hat explained that the 200 US dollars was actually the cost of hiring a prostitute. He even told Tinjau that they could bring two girls for him to have sex with him right there.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodf8fdB9iG
But whether he wanted to have sex or not, he had to pay.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T70fZFxXn
How could he possibly pay? And how is it possible for him to hire a prostitute on the roadside? Tinjau pulled out his phone and told them he would call the police. The two men didn’t seem too worried. In fact, Tinjau do not dare to call the police because he had just smoked marijuana. Siupui had mentioned to him that Vietnam is a country that strictly against drugs.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo0Zqwdxdk
Call Siupui for help? He would never do something so embarrassing!
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB8a8MNzFO
Tinjau finally sighed, emptied his wallet, and even took out the money hidden in his belt and shoes, just enough to make 200 US dollars. After handing it to the short man, he asked, "Do you have four hundred?"
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3BYQhfzEq
Tinjau told him that he really had no money left. The short man started tugging at Tinjau’s clothes, repeatedly cursing at him with vulgar words. The only English sentence that was not vulgar was: "Do you wanna die? Do you want to die now?"
