Today started out as lovely as others.Get ready to work,put on my helmet and went to get my bike.Changed my mind, so I walked to work instead,with the helmet still on. Passed the dogs doing their morning sunbathing, passed the market and the rows of tuk-tuk waiting for passengers, passed the bus station and the pedestrian-friendly fortune tellers.

At the office, work is busy as usual.Frederic picked me up in his motorbike for lunch and we had everyone's favorite Vietnamese sandwich at PVO. Bought some stamps and mail postcards to Indonesia and Singapore.
The dreadful 2 (maybe 3) seconds happened in front of UN building. As I hopped off Fred's motorbike, I pressed the inner right leg against the steaming exhaust pipe. STING LIKE A BEE,as Ricky Martin once said, but it's just that.It stings. About 2 minutes later IT HURTS LIKE HELL. All 7 layers of my skin and the nerve system in between screamed "What the heck??".
Limping my way to see the doctor on the first floor, I thanked God for the in-house clinic. Without blister nor open wound, the doctor advised me to ice-compress the burned area.
