[Sometime after the World Cup, Vietnam and England has now set up a date in order to have lunch over at her home. Typically, the weather was hot, although she had made sure to use her house in Hanoi where the weather was much more tolerable than further south. And depending on how long he plans to stay, she will have to be the most gracious host, and plan many things for him, if he was interested!

But before that, she was going to pick up England. Hopefully he was not so tired from his long trip, nor the weather torturing his tolerance of the heat? Just in case, she had brought a cool coconut drink in a cold flask she freshly poured.]

We do, for all their problems [ England smiles and shrugs a little ] - they have helped make our world much smaller, eh?

Oh, of course! [ He chuckles, agreeing instantly ] For now, at least, the two of us are on holiday - work will wait. Where too, Vietnam?

[hoasen]

[She smiles and nods as she pets the car's dashboard.] They certainly have. As long as we care for them well, they are very loyal.

Exactly! And our holiday starts...right now. [And she starts the engines!] Let's see, I saw a few cafes on the way, one of them looked like they had air-conditioning and serves great drinks. Shall we go there?

[mumland]

To the brave new world then! [ England chuckles at her ]

Hm, I will let you decide, Vietnam - I trust you to know where the good places are - I think I'd simply get lost!

[hoasen]

A-ah, onwards! [She laughs softly before she starts to drive out of the car park.]

Alright, I will try my best to pick somewhere you will like. Although, I hear that getting lost while traveling is one way to immerse oneself into the culture. [Not that she has tried this herself.]

[mumland]

That is what they say. [ England nods ] And I suppose there is some truth to it, but I've never been one for such disorganisation! Really, it's more an American thing to do, I think.

[hoasen]

Hmm, I understand what you mean. Sometimes it is also better to be safe and prepared. [She pauses as she starts pulling out onto the road, where her driving takes a much more dramatic change in that it is now faster to avoid getting abused by all these motorbikes!] That would explain while America is so hotheaded whenever he visits anywhere.
