Bot.vn is a nice domain name. I bought it while travelling to Ho Tram beach in Sep 2016. At that time, I want to make a chat bot system in Vietnam and do business on that. I did not have a specific plan for that but needed to start by purchasing a domain name.

Luckily, the domain was going to expired soon and seem like the old owner did not want or forget to renew it. I set reminder and succesfully bought it at 12.01 AM.

The trip to Ho Tram was very nice. I like the view and atmosphere there. It was a short trip and I came back to busy days for work in Singapore. Month after month, the plan for the chat bot faded away. I tried few times to renew the domain until last year and totally forgot it.

Today when looking back to the domain list I owned, I saw it again. Then I visited the site to see if anyone is using it. Yes, people is using it for their business and it’s about Chatbot. At first, i felt regret. However, I told myself at least they are making useful on it and that a lesson for me not to hestitate. If I don’t start doing, then idea will never come to life. Done better than perfect! I’m having few ideas now. I will work on it. Remember this day.
