it’s the beginning of a new day. i finished my day with a cup of beer (several, indeed, three, to be exact. but two does not count because it’s cider).
the safest area in Hanoi is one around Phủ Chủ Tịch, the one that called Hoàng Diệu, Nguyễn Tri Phương (besides Hùng Vương and something I cannot remember). figuring out that driving motobike on these two streets alone is fascinating and peaceful. you can smell the air, and see the trees hanging there, waving like there’s someone (definitely the wind) laying them and say hi to you.
i love visiting my favorite bar at early, or at late. it’s comfortable since they’re not crowded, the staff is not busy and willingly talk to me. in fact, just sitting there and say nothing, enjoy the quiet moment is my type. but i can listen to people complain and talk about their problem with ease. sometimes i think it’s actually the most important in our life, that having someone to listen to your thought and does not give judgement.
where is the place that you can see the hanoi’s sky at its enormous?/where in Ha Noi does one find the heavenly firmament the biggest? i believe that it’s in Hoang Dieu street, near Hoang Thanh area. why? that night i drive several times around Hoang Dieu and Nguyen Tri Phuong (i hope the guard there notices that hiu hiu). and one time, i saw the sky, stare at it to be exact. i saw a sky with no electric line, no building, no everything, just the sky. how can we describe that feeling? that we’re touched. that we get the feeling to be one with the tree on the street at this moment. how can we describe that?
i’ve still on my learning path, to be kind, to be nice to myself and others. sometimes i forget. sometimes at mindful moment, i realize it’s just not too hard as I thought. i love to smile at strangers. but sometimes i want to avoid eyes contact with my colleages.
staying in a room with air condition all day is not good for my health. though it’s hot outside, but smelling the not-that-fresh air is comfortable.
