Getting wetty

I was travelling around the north of Vietnam and this happened to me when I was in the train from Hanoi to Sapa. We were just my friend and I, as a foreign people (or phalang as they called us there), and just Vietnamese people who doesn’t speak English at all. We found our places and tried to sit in a comfortable way but it was impossible. We had hard seats made by wood and too little one for us. In front of us there was two guys.

After two or three hours, we couldn’t sleep. It was cold and uncomfortable, we tried to sit in lot of ways but we couldn’t still sleep. Then a woman comes between the passengers, she was selling tea and we decided that maybe with a hot tea we could sleep easily. We took a cup of tea and the two others in front of us did the same. Because of the tea was too hot we couldn’t drink it immediately. The guy in front of me drank and the funniest thing of the story is the big mishap he did. He just burned his tongue and because of the hard sensation he just threw the tea from his mouth and splashed me in all over my face. My friend and I’d been laughing and the poor guy was too embarrassed about what he did. After laughing our heads off we tried to convince him that it was ok, it was just funny and there were no worries about it.
