Rant: iPad

Well, as you all may know, I’m at Vietnam, and I didn’t bring my iPad for several reasons.

  • Threat of getting stolen - I only had it for 3 weeks prior to going to Vietnam
  • My parents didn’t allow me to bring it
  • My sister didn’t allow me to bring it
  • Word of mouth
  • and the list goes on.

And I thought it was a pretty bad country because of all the ‘incidents’ that has happened with stolen electronics, etc.

So, I didn’t bring my iPad, and I fucking regret that decision.

Vietnam isn’t as bad as you think it is. Sure, your iPad will get stolen. But that’s if you’re not careful in where you’re putting it!

Putting it in your hotel room, is an alright idea, as there are safes in almost every hotel you go to. 

Bringing it with you to a shopping centre populated with hundreds of people is a really bad idea. People stare at you for the best opportunity to strike, and when they get you off guard you’re iPad’s gone.

We only have one computer in this house, and four people (including me) use it everyday. It’s basically on 18/7. And it’s kinda hard to look at other people, who are waiting to get onto the computer, and not get off. 

And when you’re off, what do you do? Sit there, and stare at the person who’s on the computer. Fark, now I seriously should’ve brought my iPad!

I would’ve been playing Infinity Blade on my iPad right now! I would’ve been browsing the net using 3G right now! I would’ve been typing this blog post on my iPad right now! Fark, next time I’m going to Vietnam, I’m bringing my iPad.

In the middle of the trip, my dad goes up to me and tells me that, 'Oh, you should’ve brought your iPad’. Then I said, 'WELL YOU FUCKING TOLD ME NOT TO BRING IT’, then he said, 'I TOLD YOU TO BRING IT’. OMG, that got me pissed off so bad, he clearly told me the day before we left Australia that I can’t bring my iPad to Vietnam. Now he tells me I should’ve brought it! Fark my life!

Oh well, only 5 more days (including today) until I get my hands back on my iPad. So I’m guess I’m stuck with using my iPod to play Infinity Blade - when it FUCKING DOWNLOADS
