HCM: Interesting Observation

I love exploring.

Recently, I was on a company trip to HCM (Ho Chih Min City) in Vietnam when I took it to some extreme. Being a young and hip man, I went to the in-house disco with some of my colleagues on the first night. It was kind of disappointing but we decided to return 2 days later to check out again, on a Friday night.

On the day of appointment, everyone except me did not show up. Being a man of my word, I went alone. To my delight, it was jammed packed with people and I sat in one corner. A veteran in exploring overseas, first rule of thumb in a foreign unfamiliar place is to hide in one corner and observe.

One particular observation interest me. The DJ stand was located high like an altar at the front of the stage. The DJ for that particular night was a lady and I must admit that she is quite a looker, naturally blessed with assets that would have put almost 80% of Singaporean girls to utter shame. Right in front of her were a whole dance floor of people, overflowing with obviously guys. As she was bouncing and dancing and swinging her arms in her station, everyone else on the floor was doing the same, dancing, swinging their arms and bouncing.

I can't help but thought to myself if those people are really bouncing to the rythmn of the music or the asset of the female DJ. I couldn't help but notice the matching rythmn and beat of both.

I later learnt that a lot of people in Vietnam go to discos for relief and relaxation. Well, I guess all of us needed an outlet for us to vent some stress to keep some sanity.

I was thinking, "are we that easily satisfied or are we just satisfied temporally?"
