Lets Go Everywhere

It’s been a stressful and difficult six months and I’ve become a little bit too negative about life in Hanoi. I’ve been focusing on that negativity way too much so I decided to do a bit of counter-work by listing some of the things I really like about this place.

• Old men wearing berets
• Fried tofu with tomato
• Palm trees and lotus ponds
• Pagodas, temples and spirit houses
• The total lack of sarcasm
• Men who cry on television
• Love-themed graffiti
• Glass noodles with tender duck meat and young bamboo shoots (!!!)
• The health farm breakfast at Tamarind
• Girls in ao dai riding bikes
• Countryside people
• My dog and cat
• Cheap transportation, and I guess cheap everything
• Dogs on motorbikes
• Brown-robed monks and nuns

I’m sure I’ll add more as I think of it, but that’s all I got right now.
