Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I've been in Vietnam for the past few days.
Here's the hotel I stayed at the other day.
I said I wanted to stay somewhere like where Vietnamese people stay, and this is where I ended up lol
Of course, there are some hotels with robust security measures tailored for Japanese guests.
It's just so expensive! lol
Hotels in that Japanese district cost around 6,000 to 8,000 yen.
Breakfast includes Japanese-style dishes.
Since I'm in Vietnam anyway, I want to live just like the Vietnamese do, lol
Even the staff member seemed a little taken aback.
I've hosted a lot of Japanese people here, but this is the first time someone's stayed here, lol.
It looks something like this.
The reason it's so cheap is this toilet lol
It really has a nice atmosphere.
I think any Japanese person would definitely not want to sit there.
There's a shower right next to this, lol.
There's always sewage—or is it just toilet water?—flowing out from the bottom of this toilet lol
I don't like getting my feet wet from the toilet while I'm in the shower, so I put on the ratty slippers provided and hop in the shower ^^
The biggest problem with this hotel was the bedding.
My pillow smells really bad!
It smells absolutely terrible!!
It was really tough, so I laid down a towel and went to sleep.
And this bed—it's as hard as plywood.
My body aches in the morning...
It really is a hotel that lives up to its price, isn't it?
I was working in my room when suddenly some Chinese and Korean people walked in and started talking lol
I have absolutely no idea what he's talking about, but it was funny just being able to recognize a few people from their voices.
I heard later that,
It looks like this hotel is being used by young Vietnamese couples and as a brothel, lol.
It looked like a hotel where you could rent a room by the hour.
It looks like the hourly rate starts at 500 yen.
By the way, the person at the front desk was a boy who looked to be about middle school age.
The best thing about traveling abroad is that it helps you break free from your preconceptions.
People who live in a world where things we take for granted here in Japan are unimaginable.
Experiencing the local atmosphere offers a stimulating experience that you wouldn't get from staying at a typical, nice hotel.
When you visit a country, you want to get a sense of what it’s like, even if just a little, before you head home.
Of course, there are good and bad aspects, but I see that as part of the job of understanding them (the technical interns).
See you later.
