Out of conservative loop...

To continue the series about my hometown, I would like to write a short article about Vinh train station. This idea popped out of my head when I was waiting for my train which rode me back to Hanoi after five days break. Welcome to Vinh train station As you already know, my hometown is located in the North Central of Vietnam which is a six-hour train ride from Hanoi capital. Vinh station is placed right on the North-to-South railway route. There are many beautiful and historical places of interest around the city such as Cua Lo beach. So it is obvious that the station generally got high visit frequency of passengers and packets, especially on holidays. I am living in Hanoi which is in the Northern area, but actually the first time I have ever taken a train is heading to the South when I was at 11 th grade and went to Danang for joining the Youth Informatic Competition which is also an unforgetable memory. The endless rail-lines to the North... and to the So...

It is really cold right now in Vinh city. The temperature suddenly drops about 10 degrees within a day. This small heat change was predicted by the weather forecast agency, but I still find it intolerable. That’s why this post came out of my mind. An old picture taken under the rain near my house. Is it beautiful? It has been a while since the last time I welcomed the monsoon at my hometown. Unlike Hanoi where it only decreases the temperature, the monsoon brings continuous drizzles to Vinh city - what makes the cold even more extreme. Till now, it has rained for two consecutive days without any interruption. I have to admit that this terrible situation is not my cup of tea. I am the kind of person who is terrified of the hot and the cold. I would prefer it be sunny and warm outside. Tell me, what kind of weather you love? From scientific view, Vinh is located in the North Central of Vietnam and in the tropical region that means it has 4 distinctive seasons. The winte...

It has been 3 months since the last time I visited my hometown for summer break. It was a blast when I hanged out with my old friends to enjoy fresh and cheap seafoods and couple of beers along the beach. Now the winter is comming, I got 4 day-off including weekend to take some rest and take part in a small family-event which I want to share on my blog. My hometown is Vinh, the city of Nghe An province. It is located in the North Central of Vietnam, beside the River Lam. I was born and raised there before I moved to Hanoi capital for the university entrance 8 years ago. Nghe An is well known for the birthplace of President Ho Chi Minh who is the founder of Viet Nam . I think what make my hometown special is our distinctive accents and dialects. (E.g. “mi đưng mần chi đó?” = “mày đang làm gì đấy?” = “What are you doing?”. Sometimes I find it kind of funny. Me and our dog Red in his “house” I arrived home one day before the 1 st anniversary of my uncle’s death following...
