Our second meeting took a playful turn as we indulged in a round of mini golf. Drawing from my experiences with mini golf in Germany, I can attest that this particular course presented a significant challenge, a sentiment echoed by both Kotaro and Simon. Surprisingly, Ho Khoa displayed impressive skill, despite never having played mini golf before.
It became apparent that Vietnam stands as the outlier, where mini golf isn’t a customary activity. The initial rounds were filled with laughter, but as the courses prolonged, the novelty wore off, leading to a sense of monotony.
As hunger set in, our conversation naturally gravitated towards food. This discussion unveiled the diverse landscape of fast food in our respective countries. Germans tend to favor kebabs, currywurst, or pizza, while in Vietnam, a preference for bread is commonplace. In Japan, chips or candy are popular choices. Intriguingly, the one fast-food constant among us is McDonald’s.
