ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Vi or Vivi :)

I live in France near Paris and my parents are from Vietnam.

I am currently working in Human Resources department.

I only travelled for a few years and the more I do it, the more I enjoy it and want to see new things. I think it opens your mind so much, it gives you the opportunity to share and communicate to people with different culture.

PHILOSOPHY

I think family is the more important thing in life. For me, they're a support and I have to support them also.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I enjoy listening some rnb sound, hip hop, soul and mostly love songs... ! (yeah i'm a romantic girl !)
but I also like some pop/rock songs

I like going to the cinema, around 3 or 4 times a month. I am a "easy audience" so I do not prefer one type of movies in particular... In the last year I loved Gatsby, Django,Gravity, Frozen... I know they were "blockbusters" but they were very good..Aren't they??

I also LOVE watching TV shows. I love Grey's Anatomy, Game of thrones, Homeland (i liked the 2 first seasons...), The Big Bang Theory (of course) ... so and on ...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

It's not very "amazing" or "fun", but it was an experience in Thailand at Phuket.

There was an tsunami alert in april 2012. We were at the south of the island and when we were on the way to come back to our guesthouse near the Patong Beach, we were blocked on the road.

The police blocked the way because there was an earthquake in Sumatra (indonesia) at 9,1. We waited for 4-5 hours on the roadside, we climbed on the top of a rotten roof to watch the sea in the distance. We waited with no information, the driver of our taxi abandonned us... there was a rumor of a wave of 16 meters ... We were worried like all of the people there, but there was not a real "panic".

At 9pm, the alert seems to be declared officially off, and we could go back to our hostel... The evening we watched the news, and they announced that there was actually a wave in Patong Beach because of the earthquake of Sumatra... and it was 10 centimeters in height... !

The next days when we were travelling in the other islands of thailand (which were not threatened by tsunami) they ask about it, and they all laugh when we announced that !

This experience was fortunalty finished with a good ending. It was stressful to live that, far away from our homes in France. But it was also reassuring that authorities were there to handle this threat.
