Today I initially planned to visit Nguyen Dinh Chieu school again but it was canceled because the staff are too busy. Although I introduced myself to the headmaster on Monday, he is too busy to deal with my request. Today, his secretary introduced other teacher to me to arrange all schedule, so I had to explain my research from scratch. I’m glad I still have one month to do the research.
2:00@ Old town area
Being depressed and feel rushed, I went out for shopping to refresh myself. In this area, each street has the name of the product which is sold in that street. For example, almost all shops in Silver Street sell silverworks, shops in Tea Street sell teas. I bought warm clothes at Clothes Street.
I feel like I’m facing some difficulties in my research. When I asked about the welfare services yesterday, one of them answered ‘All associations are always concerned about us and try to share our difficulties’. It was just like a model answer. Although I tried to ask from a different angle, a complaint or an anxiety was never expressed. However, despite their positive words, the expression on their faces was dark. I couldn’t feel at ease and accept their words as it is.
Are they really satisfied with the current condition?
They are quite humble and rarely express their feelings. I thought that six weeks may be not sufficient to get their real voices.
In my country, I have evaluated the systems or things by comparing to others. But in here, I thought it is difficult to evaluate the systems or conditions since there are very few things to compare.
