There’s a flower in Vietnam called “Hoa Muoi Gio” “Bong 10 gio” “”hoa mười giờ” có lẽ vì hoa chỉ nở khi nắng cao lúc đứng ” I can translate it to English as “10 o’clock flower” hahaha I don’t really know the exact name or if it exist anywhere else beside Vietnam where used to live. This flower is special and unique because it only blossom about 10 o’clock AM, but really it’s not really accurate at 10 AM, but it does blossom during this time because the sun light is just right, if not then it won’t blossom at all – so I guess that’s why people call it 10 o’clock flower. So far I can only find this flower where I live in Vietnam Cu Lao where it has plenty of sun light and water and moisture and mist during the night til morning time. This flower when blossom it’s bright pink colors beautiful 🙂 According to some website it said the name or family of this flower is “Portulaca grandiflora”

Where I used to live in Vietnam, a place call Cu Lao, Tan Thoi, it get flooded once in a while but it’s not real bad didn’t get into the house though. I used to go catch fish with my bare hand out on the creek “Rach” back of the house. There is a special tree call “Cay Ban” “Cây Bần”, it only grow where there are plenty of water and mud but the root is very strong to keep it from falling, specially it grow near the river bank. I use to harvest the root to create wine cap for my grandma, it’s great for fine cap, just dried it and turn it into wine cap. Be careful though, there’s a special bees that lives on this tree, we call it “ông bần” it was name after this tree. I got stunk a couple times before by these bees, and it hurt swalln for a good hours but it goes away, these bees are not posionous :). The tree has fruit call “Trái Bần” and can taste pretty bad if eat it raw, very bitter sometime and very sour 🙂 but awesome exotic fruit just to get you high hahahahah. The fruit is also good for cooking Vietnamese sour sour “Canh Chua”, I like to go pick it but not much eating it, we have to climb up the tree and get it, the fruit look for very nice, and the flower is beautiful. Especially when the flower start to fall off, it’s beautiful and can be pretty romantic for couple whom peddle their boat pass by it, various colors but mostly white.

world tallest person man height at 8 feet 3 due to tumor kept on producing high amount of hormone

Wow! 8 feet 3, giant. Everything is big on him, he has the world largest hand as well, I wonder what is the largest or biggest than other man on him, hahahahhahah. Well as I read the article, it seems like he’s being mutated, there’s this tumor and it’s not cancerous not a cancer tumor, this tumor kept on producing large amount of hormone which make him kept on growing, and he receives treatments here in the USA and finally he stopped growing. You know, I wouldn’t consider him as the biggest or tallest person because of his condition, I would like a person on the world Guinness book for being natural, not being defective or have some kind of special condition, no offense 🙂 We need this kind of hormone for many Vietnamese, some of us pretty short heheheh, and doesn’t matter if we drink a lot of milk or eat a lot, we still short due to our hormone?

 

Vietnam listed on top list of Internet Enemies around the world for 2012

That’s right, news came out recently listed Vietnam as one of the country on top list of internet enemies, China used to be or still is with Vietnam. What does that mean? well as many know, stolen credit cards “the chua”, stolen identification social security #, CDL, passport, visa, address, bank account, paypal, you name it, Vietnamese hackers used to do all that easily – For instant, they would use a credit card stolen and buy items either shipped to their home country in Vietnam or to a friend in USA, however these has already blocked, so it’s pretty hard maybe next to impossible to do now in the USA, the shipping address must match with the billing address. Even in the USA some hackers or want to be hackers are trying the same thing, stolen information such as bank account or credit card and use it to buy stuff ship to PO box or usps pick up location and so on. Anyhow, being on a top list of internet enemies to the world is not a good thing, companies and other hackers are  monitoring Vietnam, the attack could be from the inside or outside, depend. If someone message you either chat, paltalk, forum, email ,, etc … and ask you to be friend and soon later asking you for a favor, watch out! don’t do it, don’t believe their stories, don’t trust their profiles, pictures, etc… you don’t know who they are, better yet – just stay away socializing people on the internet if you don’t know what you’re doing or in to.
