BWOC

Hello, I am Big Water bottle On Campus.  My little buddy has filled me in on life up until this time.  I have been in Bien Hoa for quite some time, but don't really know much about the town. My home was in a convenience store on a shelf, where I really couldn't see much.  My store is one of many down at the marketplace by the river.  The marketplace is called Bien Hoa market and the river is called  Song Dong Nai.  There are probably a  hundred little shops down here which sell all manner of goods, and just as many food carts and restaurants.  I couldn't really see much of what was going on at the marketplace since I was tucked away indoors and most of the action is outside in the streets.  So, as you can imagine, I was thrilled to walk around with Barbara and Pat for a few hours.  All this time, I had been wondering about the rumbling noise I heard outside, and now I know...... the place is full of motorbikes.  Since most of the shops are outside, people drive their motorbikes from stall to stall, gathering their goods, without ever leaving their motorbikes.  Of course I did not know this because I was housed where people could only get into my shop on foot.  As I cruise the streets, my little buddy informs me that Barbara does not have a motorbike and usually walks everywhere.  He tells me to enjoy my peaceful walking tour of the marketplace and warns me that when we get into town, the traffic will scare me to death. I don't know, it doesn't look like a big deal to me.........
