Let's get some fun,
+ Ba means: dad/ another meaning: number 3
+ cu: men private part
+ Ao : blouse, shirt/ another meaning : Austria
+ quan: trouses, pants
Ti was doing his geography homework with his dad ( ba). He asked his dad:
Ba! Why on earth that there is Austria (Ao) but no Quan on the map?
His dad thought for a while and explain to him:
What's a silly question my dear! If there is Quan How can you see Cuba on map! Make a choice!

Hanoi di choi
Hanoi, tree lined boulevards and cafe culture, has all the igredients, rather like its alleged doppleganger, Paris, of a very romantic city. Nowhere is more evident than around the various lakes in the capitals.
A leisurely stroll on a summer's evening around, for example, Truc Bach can easily turn into a " spot the couple making out". Parked up on their motorbike or if you happen to have a pair of binoculars, paddling around on the infamous swans.
As most young VNese live with their extended family, you can imagine it's awkward to get that little bit of freedom to kiss and whisper sweet nothings, which as a popolation of extraordinarily soppy romantics must be double hard. This is where "di choi" come into its own. Di choi embraces all activitites to do with hanging out so therefore is very easy to learn, and all Vietnamese people are good at, this activitity to embrace all activities is a very fine art with its own rules.
Anyone riding around Hanoi in the evening must have wondered what % of young people on bikes are actually going somewhere and what % are actually just there to be seen - much like the cruising done in American teen flicks. Weekend and public holidays, in particular, usally involve everyone geting on their bikes and riding the streets of Hanoi. The 'riding' usually turning into a caophonous and stinky deadlock, in which people can 'check eachother out'.
If the 'di choi' is actually to get somewhere then it is, as mentioned above, to park and 'di choi' , usually around a lake, although another popular romantic spot is the bidge along the motorway to Noi Bai Airport, for obvious reasons. Newly pop up many pits along Hoa Lac Highway where all the lots are waiting for new construction, you can hardly see in the dark many motorbike parking every 10m2...Hope God will protect them from the cold winter blow.
While couples 'di choi' to get a place to 'di choi' there are various signals that are sent to indicate what's the relationshop between the passengers on the bikes are:
Hands on back of bike 'xe om' ( motor taxi) pose: Junior date
Hands on driver's hips - intermediate
Hands on driver's legs, head on driver's shoulder - going steady
Hands in driver's pockets - has a firm grasp of the situationSo next time you come to Vietnam and on a 'xe om', be careful where you put your hand
