How can we get a medicine in Vietnam


I have gotten sick recently.It was my first time to get sick in my Vietnam life.I had a headache, a runny nose and a high fever.I didn’t have any medicine so I should have gotten it.
But I couldn’t move from a bed for a few days. Finally I got well a little bit yesterday so I went to a pharmacy.There are pharmacies in Ho Chi Minh on a street.


In my case, I cannot speak Vietnamese fluently. I can speak just English.They can not speak English so it is hard to communicate each other.For that reason I had searched a medicine for a my symptoms on a internet(google) and had  taken screenshot before I went there.


I showed them a pic then they gave me a medicine which I needed.I bought  4 pieces and the price was just 5000VDN(20cent). It is just 5 cent each of one medicine.I re-acknowledged that oh, i am in Vietnam like that in that moment.


The medicine was like this pic. Red and yellow.I can suggest you it when you get sick in Vietnam.
The name is “Decolgen”. It helped me getting better definitely.Today I am totally fine.The good points of Vietnamese medicine are strong and reasonable.

Thank you for reading today.

National Day in Vietnam

Today is holiday in Vietnam. On 2 September  is National Day there. It is actually a big holiday in Vietnam. I can see many Vietnamese national frag on a street, even on top of the car. Today I can feel a sort of different atmosphere here. There are just 6 holidays for one year in Vietnam. And today is last holiday in 2018 so  most of Vietnamese people seem like excited. Due to big holiday , the gym is closed even my favourite restaurant is also closed. In Japan , there are approximate 16  holidays,compared with that feel like much few holidays in Vietnam. I don’t know whether Japanese holidays are many or Vietnamese holidays are few… The French restaurant near may house is opening today as usual. The restaurant is French so I guess they  don’t care about Vietnamese holiday. However the server who is working there is Vietnamese. They seem like don’t want to work only today. To be honest, I have never learned about history of world ser...

How do I life in Vietnam

I usually wake up 8am. Then I drink avocado smoothie near my house. It is my breakfast. That is just 30000VDN(1$). It is really reasonable and good for health. Then i go to cafeteria by walk. I work here from 9am to 12pm with my macbook. A cup of tea and coffee are also cheap. Today i ordered a milk tea. It was just 30000VDN(1 $) . (Cheap Cheap :) ) In Vietnam, Coffee is really famous and popular.  There is huge coffee culture in Vietnam. Especially “Vietnamese coffee “ is awesome. Basically Vietnamese coffee is mixed Black coffee and condensed milk. The taste is sweet and bitter a bit. If you try drinking it, you would become addicted. When you visit Vietnam, please try it just once. Most of vietnamese cafeteria have it. At lunch time I went to Japanese restaurant. Today I had  “ Udon”. Udon is one of the traditional Japanese food .  It is kind of noodle. I also ate Bowl of rice. It was 5$. Most of Japanese restaurant’...

About my business in Vietnam

Today i will mention about detail of my business in Vietnam. Basically I am doing trading in Ho Chi Minh. For example, I export "hat "from Ho Chi Minh to Japan. Producing something in Vietnam is faster and more reasonable than Japan. So my father’s company request to produce many hat in Vietnam.  Vietnamese factory produce many hat.  After finish producing i arrange to export them to Japan. Then My father’s company sell them in Japan. Im helping my father’s business. This pic is boxes of hat. The quantity was 2500 pieces. Producing hat, t-shirt, shoes, bag,  towel etc..  are actually reasonable in Vietnam. There are many stuff which made in Vietnam all over the world nowadays. The cost is reasonable however them quality is pretty good. Why producing something in Vietnam is reasonable? I guess there is one big reason. Vietnamese worker’s wages are not expensive. I mean it is actually cheap from Japanese. T...
