I'll buy, who sell! c'mon!

Recently I've become more and more interested in reading news from big cities in the world(I'm a dreamer!), finding a lot of good things, making some comparison to things in my hometown.

Big city life, love it, is not easy. The truth is that we do not only live with city-people, but also with people from many-somewhere-else. No, not discrimination, I swear. But I have to admit that..there are lines between city and non-city people. For many times in the street, it happened. Some quickly learn the urban lifestyle. Some may never, and keep on ruining my city. Sad!

Big city life, love it, can be easier. It's a big big market. From a side, I can say most people come to sell and buy.  And I realize people in my city really love to sell and buy, anything possible. My aunt wants her son to be accepted to a good school. She tried to use her relationship and finally found a seat. She quit right after hearing "the price" - 4.5 mil VND! Relationship is useless. They sell, just buy.

Some people might have negative look on that situation. But buy and sell undoubtedly help our lives better. I once imagined what would happen if one day, everything can be sold ? I may try to buy a seat for my children if I have enough money. That's a big thing. Small things? Sometimes I'm late for a movie. So good if someone come and re-sell their tickets for me. So inspiring. And I found out this morning that " you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" . "Zaarly" has already done that.

I read about it on The New York Times, more information here,  and I think this idea will soon spread wide. Won't have to wait too long.




Hey is there anybody want to "buy" me? I'm on sale!
