Warum f\u00e4hrt man in den hohen Norden Vietnams, in einen Ort, von dem man wei\u00df, dass es dort fast ganzj\u00e4hrig neblig ist? Richtig, um nichts zu sehen. <\/p>\n
Sch\u00f6n sieht er trotzdem aus, auf den wolkenfreien Bildern, die im Hotel h\u00e4ngen. Nun gut, die Vorzeichen auf klaren Himmel waren schon in der Halong-Bucht nicht die besten. Hier versuchte zumindest noch der Tourf\u00fchrer, die graue Stimmung aufzuheitern. In einer Tropfsteinh\u00f6hle, die so naturnah wie m\u00f6glich mit verschiedensten Neonfarben ausgeleuchtet war, versammelte er spitzb\u00fcbisch die Frauen um sich und deutete mit seinem Laserpointer auf einen Tropfstein in Form eines Penis\u2019. Die kopfsch\u00fcttelnden Frauen ignorierend und durch das h\u00e4mische Grinsen einiger M\u00e4nner angestachelt, folgte zugleich der n\u00e4chste H\u00f6hepunkt. Ein Tittenfelsen f\u00fcr die Herren der Sch\u00f6pfung; nat\u00fcrlich von hoher historischer Bedeutung. <\/p>\n
Hier im Bergland, mochte man meinen, w\u00e4re irgendwie alles anders. Wie naiv ich doch nach all der Zeit immer noch bin… Nachdem wir vom Bus in der N\u00e4he vom Marktplatz abgesetzt wurden, rissen sich drau\u00dfen schon die Geier um uns. Neben den \u00fcblichen \u201eHello \u2013 Motorbike?\u201c-Geiern, fielen mir schnell die bunt kost\u00fcmierten Ureinwohnerinnen in die m\u00fcden Augen. Gerade will ich mir vorstellen, wie sie nach anstrengendem, mehrst\u00fcndigem Marsch die kleine Stadt erreicht haben, um Nahrungsmittel f\u00fcr ihre Gemeinde zu kaufen, als mich eine von ihnen in einwandfreiem Englisch nach Herkunft, Namen, Alter und meinen weiteren Vorhaben ausfragt. <\/p>\n
Nach kurzer Besinnungsphase im Hotel, wagten wir uns wieder hinaus, um den Ort zu besichtigen, der in der Nebelsuppe unterzugehen scheint. Und erneut h\u00e4ngt uns jemand am Hacken. Nach halbst\u00fcndigem Zickzacklauf durch die engen Gassen gelingt es uns, sie abzusch\u00fctteln. Doch gleich begehen wir den n\u00e4chsten Fehler, indem wir kurz stehen bleiben und den Blick kreisen lassen. \u201eHello \u2013 Looking?\u201c, \u201eHello \u2013 Shopping?\u201c, \u201eHello \u2013 You buy something from me?\u201c <\/p>\n
Ich w\u00fcnschte, Schlagfertigkeit w\u00e4re etwas, das mir schon beim Gespr\u00e4ch in den Sinn k\u00e4me: \u201eHello! My name is Adolf. I\u2019m from Austria. I am dead since 1945 and I\u2019m here to do some trekking in the foggy mountains. You wanna join me?\u201c<\/p>\n
Why does one go to the high north of Vietnam, to a place of which one knows that it\u2019s foggy there almost throughout the year? Right, to see nothing.<\/p>\n
However, it looks nice, on the cloud-free pictures that hang in the hotel. Well, the omens to encounter a clear sky haven\u2019t been the best when we were still in Ha Long Bay. Here, at least our tour guide tried to lighten up the grey atmosphere. In a dripstone cave that was illuminated as close to nature as possible with various neon colours, he rascally gathered the women around him and indicated to a dripstone in the shape of a penis with his laser pointer. Ignoring the women shaking their heads and incited by the derisive grinning of some men, the next highlight was about to follow. A tit rock for the Gents of Creation; of high historical significance, of course.<\/p>\n
Here in the mountains, you were likely to believe everything was somehow different. How na\u00efve I still am after all this time\u2026 After we\u2019ve been dropped off the bus near the market place, the vultures were already scrambling for us outside. Besides the common \u201cHello \u2013 Motorbike?\u201d vultures, the colourfully costumed native women soon caught my eye. I was just about to imagine how they\u2019ve reached the small town after an exhausting multiple-hours hike in order to buy food for their community when one of them is asking my heritage, name, age and further plans in flawless English.<\/p>\n
After a moment reflection in the hotel, we dare to go out again to visit the place, which seems to sink beneath the foggy soup. And again we are followed by someone. After a half an hour chase through the narrow streets in zigzag, we succeed in getting rid of them. But subsequently, we make the next mistake standing for a second and just looking around. \u201cHello \u2013 Looking?\u201c, \u201cHello \u2013 Shopping?\u201c, \u201cHello \u2013 You buy something from me?\u201c <\/p>\n
I wished quick-wittedness was something I could grasp already while talking: \u201cHello! My name is Adolf. I\u2019m from Austria. I am dead since 1945 and I\u2019m here to do some trekking in the foggy mountains. You wanna join me?\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
