Searching For Gold In Vietnam

in travelfeed •  7 years ago  (edited)

I'll admit it. I got a little jealous... I'm only human. I got jealous that @goldmatters was finding all this gold, and I was just left on the sidelines, gold-less! So I let FOMO get the best of me and I decided to do what any smart person would do: find some gold for myself.

Since I'm in Vietnam, I had to hunt for "vàng," which is Vietnamese for gold.

Come find vàng in Vietnam with me and Gold Matters Jr. (goldmatter's mini-me), who I convinced to come with me while @goldmatters was sleeping!

The first gold we found was old. But it was no problem. Because, luckily, gold holds it's value. Score!

We found a golden crown! But it was just a poser. Not real gold. I kind of felt betrayed by this lying "vàng" crown. 👑 👎

It's nothing compared to:

Luckily, after being betrayed by the "golden" crown, Goldmatters Jr. struck gold with this find! He found a vàng store!!

Vàng upon vàng upon vàng! Stackin' vàng like crazy! Remind us to rob this store later. Just kidding, we would never do such a thing!!

Since we're good people and would NEVER rob a gold store, we decided to go find some gold that we could keep.

Our search continued.

And that's when we saw...

A GOLD monkey! Wow, Vietnam is more exotic than we were expecting.

But, we couldn't fit the giant gold monkey into our pockets, so the search for pocket-sized gold continues.

Hmm... where could we look?

Where better to find gold than on a beach? Buried treasure is the thing now, right? All the cool kids are finding it.

We walked down the beach and I spotted something. Is that... could it be?? An X?

It was! But was it the kind of X that marks the spot?

We had to start digging...

...there was only one way to find out.

Imagine my surprise when we struck gold vàng!

I know they say money doesn't make you happy. And that's because it doesn't. GOLDMONEY makes you happy. 💰

What to do with all this gold?? Maybe go on a golden cruise with @Goldmatters Jr. before @goldmatters wakes up and notices that he's missing?

After finding a gold mine of buried treasure on the beach...

I could afford a cruise AND to stay in a Gold Star Hotel (which is WAY better than a 5-star hotel, incase you were wondering)

Okay, fine. I have a confession: I stress-ate the gold. So, I could only afford to LOOK at the vàng star hotel.

Goldmatters Jr. tried to stop me from stress-eating the gold. He even crawled into the bowl. I think he secretly just wanted to bathe in a pile of gold coins...

But it didn't work. The restaurant had a "no bathing in the bowls" policy.

Even though I couldn't afford the gold- star hotel anymore... I COULD get some gold coffee. No dark coffee for me, please. Once you go gold, you don't go back.

The gold coins were gone. Which means there was only one thing left to do (as we couldn't go home empty-handed). Now, where could we find gold...

...with JUST the click of a button? Is there a place like that? The answer is yes!

It may sound too good to be true!

But there IS a place you can buy gold with just a click of the button!!! It's true!!

Hey, this might help you get started on steemit. It's an article I wrote 6 months ago: https://steemit.com/steemitguide/@nomadicsoul/steemit-newbie-advice-that-isn-t-on-the-internet-yet

Look like you found buried treasure 😂... what about Silver! 😜

The silver felt insecure next to the gold...it didn't want to show its face lol

In Viet Nam, Gold is everywhere. You can find it anywhere and anytime , ha ha

I think you're right! Vietnamese love their gold it seems!

Brilliant @nomadicsoul 😂, where are you in Vietnam? did you manage to get a new phone?

Thanks @derekcowan ! I'm in Da Nang now! And yep, I got a temporary one. Working on the sim card pard. Thanks for reminding me to do an update post about it!

welcome to vietnam ^^ i want you to enjoy more from yellow. This is chocolate candy of Vietnamese children

Ooo that's better than the kind I found in the store! My chocolate candy is from Vietnam too, but I like your wrapper better! Thanks for sharing @anfood

now @nomaficsoul & @goldmatters both are on field. We will compare next. counting ;)

Although @nomadicsoul you don't need to search for gold, you are a gold yourself

:) haha that's so sweet!

Even though I couldn't afford the gold- star hotel anymore

All you would have done was just call me. Lolxxx

Are those golds for real?

Hehe I'll call you next time!! Golden chocolate, as real as it gets lol 😄 Btw, your profile picture is SO pretty!!

Thanks @nomadicsoul, you're so amazing!

awww <3

I'll bet the gold chocolates weren't that good.

Haha you're so smart! How'd you know?

Pretty sure I've tried them before.

I love the creativity in display here, it's just too awesome.

I was so much captivated while reading... Lol
I think @goldmatters need to sleep again while I do my own gold search too.. Smile

Anyways, I don't have to stress myself like you did, I can easily search from www.mene.com even from the comfort of home... Smile

No investment better than GOLDEN investment. You have at least two qualities for your investment, you have something beautiful around your neck or hand and you still get it appreciated on the long run.

What is better than that?

haha thanks! I agree...reading his stuff every day makes me want it lol

I've been reading from him for a while too, he got a golden passion for the golden gold... Hahahahahahag

He's so entertaining!
