Phu Quoc is far more wild and less touristic than expected. In the north there is a really nice remote island which you can visit. Only about 20 % of the roads on the island are paved. During the whole day I spent my time alone and this was really relaxing after all the impressions I had and the things I saw during the past weeks. In the north there is a small village and nearby all inhabitants are working for the same factory. Their job is to dry fish. It is interesting to observe, but the smell is horrible. It is impressive that also women are doing this kind of job in a very hot climate. Women in asia often work really hard, maybe even harder than men. On the way to the north I got lost. Someone stopped me and explained to me that it was not the correct street. Soon after a boy on a motorbike came to be and asked: Where do you go? I explained him that I wanted to go to the north and he just added to follow him. Only a few hundreds meters later a second boy came running and jumped on my motorbike saying he comes with us. A third one jumped on the motorbike on the other child. A few hundreds meters later I stopped to put my backpack in front, as the kid was sitting behind me. They took really strange roads and after a short time I stopped, as I had a bad feeling about the whole situation. I told them I have to go back and the kid didn't want to go off from my motorbike. I told him three, four times: Go, go, go! Finally he get off. I read and heard many weird stories about kids used to rip off people and I think that I just escaped a bad situation.
