During the lockdown time, restaurants, cinemas, and malls are being shut down, flights are pleasantly limited, not just in Saigon but everywhere in Vietnam. What can we do here without these facilities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI must admit, because of restricted mobility, my daily life took a bit of a turn,\u201d shared Denver,\u00a0 \u201cMost of the establishments I frequent are closed, as it is with most gyms, bars, and restaurants.\u201d Zwe also agreed that he found it a little difficult because he couldn\u2019t go out freely to the supermarket near HCMUT &#8211; Bach Khoa\u2019s dormitory for groceries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these 2 guys along with Putri agreed it has been fine so far to cope with the inconvenience of not going out. Zwe and Putri can still eat out \u201cat home\u201d by ordering food from different service platforms. And Denver also shared that staying home is a responsible thing to do during the pandemic since he is a staunch advocate of #StayAtHome, so when the city and the dormitory imposed movement restrictions, he just fully supported it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s \u2018inconvenient\u2019 on a normal day, sure, but what is a bit of inconvenience if it means you\u2019re contributing to the collective effort of battling the pandemic.\u201d &#8211; said Denver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2026 Tips to kill boredom at home (or wherever you are staying still)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like any of us, international students must feel so empty during the quarantine. Let\u2019s hear some of their suggestions that they did try to be occupied at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the shut-down recreational spots out there because of the social distancing, we can actually entertain ourselves by either digital or non-digital things, \u201cI do recommend you to read books or watch movies, especially movie series with lots of episodes or play games\u201d. But remember to finish your online assignments or else you will end your courses before the outbreak ends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, other students choose to stay in shape even during the quarantine! \u201cI think living in the dormitory at this time provides convenience at the very least. I can\u2019t go to the gym or swim, but there\u2019s plenty of space at the dorm to play sports and do some laps\u201d, shared Denver. Some further advice from Denver is that we shouldn\u2019t force ourselves to be productive at this time as it could cause more stress. The pandemic is stressful enough! So, don\u2019t be too harsh on yourself, buddies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Life of international friends at HCMUT &#8211; Bach Khoa, Vietnam turns out to be fine at the moment despite some inconvenience from the beginning. Actually, no matter where you are, you will be safe if you stay home and properly conduct the social distancing campaign, according to the Government direction. So, enjoy our quarantine, but don\u2019t indulge yourself too much. Have fun staying home!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Special appreciation to our HCMUT &#8211; Bach Khoa international students &#8211; Banlasan Austria Denver, Putri Basenda Tarigan, Zwe Man Aung for featuring in this piece of news!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"border_bg_blue\"> Some courses are re-opening for students from May 4 (Pre-University classes, special classes, etc.) <br>On May 11, all of HCMUT &#8211; Bach Khoa students are required to be prepared to get back to classes.
