I am watching my photos that i took when i was in Hungary. And i remember nice story that i got in there.
I stayed in Budapest 12 days. Whenever i said I am vietnamese, do you know where vietnam is? All answer is: ah, i see but i don't know where vietnam is. I was a bit upset about it...Hmm, i think, many people don't know about my country.
Still the 10th day in there, I met an old man who sells books and souvenir in a small shop inside a castle. He asked me: where are you come from? i said: I come from vietnam. Do you know vietnam?
The old man kept quiet...I was a bit sad in my heart but i still smile with him. Suddenly the old man said: Ahhhhh, i know vietnam. My eyes was bright...i felt so happy ...there is still a person in here knows vietnam. I asked him: Have you ever been in vietnam before?
He said: No, not yet..i know Vietnam from here...He shown me the book...I read about the war between Vietnam and America.
I felt so happy and continue talking with him more about vietnam for a while. And you know, he is the only man who i met knows about vietnam...

indonesian is well known but more foreign people more know bali than indonesia..
bali is part of indonesia...and in my opinion, indonesia is should be famous than bali..but it is the fact.

Ah, sorry, it is my mistake. Ramboo movies, not bamboo, bamboo is a plant...hhihihi
You are right, long time before i know Bali but i didn't know much about Indonesia till i met my Indonesian friends.
It looks like i know about phuket but i don't know much about thailand...all because bali and phuket are famous beaches.
Ya, i have friends in there and i hope i can visit them soon, but not in this year.
Where are you living now? if near Bandung, Jakarta and Bali...i may go to see you also..

Oh, i watched Bamboo too since the Indonesian guy told me about that movie.
it is ok adhyz82, just we haven't many chances to visit all countries in this world yet then knowing through books and movies is really good.
I went to Budapest for my training (4 day) and 8 days for traveling.... I really love Budapest, it is old and charm city. If i have one more chance, i would like to visit Budapest again.

hihi,I had that feeling when i was in Hungary. Don't worry, i am not sad now. I know people just know about vietnam through the war with America and France only.
When i was in Korea, i was so surprised to know that my friend, an Indonesian guy, know well about vietnam through movies of the war.

hihihi, you are not interested in the history, i think. The famous war between vietnam and American and the winner is vietnam. You don't believe it since America is the top country about economic and weapon? but it is the truth.
You are still very young so that you may not know about it but i think your parents generation may know about it.
