The treat of taking shelter from the rain

Leave a comment

Right in the heart of Saigon, walking out of a hotel after a day long seminar, before heading home, I tried to find a place to get some good warm food for dinner, like noodle soup or anything similar. Since I got this miserable sinus, tears and nose had been running all day long.

It was getting dark, and starting to rain. And I did not have an umbrella with me (again, whenever it rained). I told myself to walk fast, hoping to find a place to seat and eat while waiting for the rain to stop. It was in the middle of a busy central district, no shortage of coffee shops and restaurants, but I couldn’t find any place I wished while the rain was getting really heavy. I had to stop to take shelter from the rain. Otherwise, I would be completely soaked and even more miserably sick. Continue reading The treat of taking shelter from the rain →

The spokesperson also said it would take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security and to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.

Sự thật là, Thiền chỉ có vài công năng: Continue reading Sống tập trung →

Back in may, when President Donald Trump called for America to stop funding the World Health Organization, he presented a list of the WHO’s recent failures: the organization’s initial failure to flag the spread of the novel coronavirus; its initial failure to follow up when Taiwan—a country excluded from the WHO because of Chinese objections—inquired about evidence that seemed to indicate that the virus could be transmitted from one human to another; its initial failure to press China to accept an international investigation into the source of the virus. At the beginning of the pandemic, the WHO, which operates as a specialized agency of the United Nations, seemed to be one beat behind. It also seemed overly reliant upon biased information provided by the government of China.
