在住を始めた10年前にはローカルのコンビニエンスストアもありませんでしたので、隔世の感があります(現在住んでいるマンションの1階には24時間営業のローカルのコンビニがある)。

I will stay in Viet Nam during Christmas. At the beginning of my life in Viet Nam I missed the carols, Santa, green and red colours of Christmas, white of snow but now I can enjoy Christmas in a tropical region.
I started to live in Sai Gon in January 2001. During the Christmas in 2000 there was a snow fall. I knew that I will not be able to see the snow for a while, so my last Christmas in Japan is an unforgettable memory.
I have a family in Viet Nam so that is a reason why I will stay in Viet Nam during Christmas.
This year, I will go to the city centre to take some pictures with my wife and son before Christmas day. Because every year on that day, there are so many motor bicycles! This may be our new experience for the festival season. In Viet Nam, we really can learn how to spend our time during Christmas time because we have some opportunities to see Christian foreigners and Vietnamese. It may compensate for not being back home. The five things to do in this Christmas are:
1.Take annual leave on December 25.
2. To talk with my wife and son at home because I have such little time with them usually.
3. To read books related to Christmas aloud to my son.
4. I will try to cook something for my family.
5. To enjoy the sound of Christmas in the town.
I think that being religious is important, but also it's important to enjoy an atmosphere of Christmas and share the peaceful feeling. People in Viet Nam know that as well as people in my country.

I think Sai Gon Railway Company should have had a period of transition from the old to the new system. They should have also tested out the new system before putting it into practice.
In my country, the Government, public authorities and rail companies always have a transition period before introducing anything new. They also thoroughly test out the new procedures and ask for feedback from the public to see if it works well.
I think it would have been better to use the new ticketing system in conjunction with the tried and tested old method of booking tickets favoured by the elderly who rarely use a mobile phone.
Viet Nam will have a growing proportion of elderly people in future, so the authorities must think about them.
When I was small, the booking system for train tickets was antiquated, but now it's very convenient. We can book on-line and pay by credit card. However, my parents' generation still don't know how to use the internet and stick to the old system.
