My Vietnam experience...

I went to vietnam in hanoi for a 10 days reseach expedition for hsbc and an ngo at australia. It was so wonderful, The place was a haven of beautiful things to see, the nature's forest is so diverse so many butterflies and so many beautiful people to see. Vietnam looks a lot like Manila, food is so good. I learned to eat food by using chopstick, i loved the coffee and I met people from different countries. I met a guy from india I liked him so much that I wished I met him when I was still single - it wasn't even close, he is so attached to his indian culture that he promised to be only for his wife, he will be announcing himself next year so his parents will be looking for the girl who will be a match for him, a younger one. Lucky girl I thought, He never had an intimate relationship with any girl, just girl friends, he said he will not subscribe to that kind of feeling as it will cause him problems: for him and his family, he said he loves his parents so much and he believes that his parents are right in all aspects especially looking for his wife to be. He is so wonderful. I wished i had an indian husband instead of a filipino guy. I asked him what if he had an extramarital affair? he said he'll keep it to himself and he will not leave his wife but will love her more, I just told him good luck...hah!
Then as the days progress we grew closer to each other, he loves playing badminton, I played with him. We played cards, We laughed at each others bloopers but he's not as interested in me as I was about this "thing"about us, He's more into looking for younger woman and I am not that one, so I told myself not to be influenced or just detached myself to this kind of admiration for him and just focused on the reseach, but it was just as hard as it get's stronger everyday, for 8 days we were so close, on the last days he would hold my hand and whenever i'm afraid of the leeches and the highest part of the mountains he would hold my arms, probably he was just being nice but he was so irrestible. so i just let myself be in this kind of situation. And hoped that in any point at any time we were together he liked me, as much as i liked him. but it wasnt that easy i guess. I missed him now that i am back here in manila.
To forget him which i knew i can do, i will, i dont know, i liked him so much. I'll just let this all pass I guess. Back to work. I wish we could see each other again. although he doesnt like somebody like me. I guess.
