Hanoi- In Vietnam, the proverb says, “If you drink water, do not forget the spring.” Here in the ancient neighborhood and the beating heart of the capital, Hanoi, at night, as in the day, you will find yourself in the rehab of more than a spring that is established in memory, and in front of a great festival of traditions and cultures.
Among the lanes of “Old Town” and his alleys, pedestrians crowded with hordes of air and fireworks (motorcycles) that does not calm the buzz of its engines, but everyone is going very regularly and respect for the smallest traffic lights and the movement of the progeneratives.
Women and men, graying and young people, each riding in the same or three wheels, whoever is heading towards his work you see everyone races, and whoever is searching for a client among thousands of tourists who fill the neighborhood, so you see a smile, a pleasant, calling for a friend to ride his trio wheel bicycle or “cyclo” as they call it locally.
It does not need much trouble to realize that these drivers are skilled and experienced, so that you even think that they are coming from another planet for their acumen and the speed of their traffic intuition, and the strange thing is that there is no trace of any policeman you may think that he is behind the organization of the Festival of the Plain and the returnees on a living street theater that does not sleep.
It is evident that adherence to safety standards “in the country of 100 million motorcycle” – to the extent that one of the travelers likened to a metaphorical comparison with him with the country’s population – is an issue that is not different from two in Vietnam, so it may be difficult or impossible to see a driver or passenger who does not pilgrimage a protection helmet for the male, but not limited to.
And those helmets are another story that may require the dismantling of the symbols of their shapes and colors and the miraculous “accessories” of them, research and folders, and the most important thing remains that it has no connection with the traditional noun “of the triangular shape and made with skilled hands of reeds, and represents the identity of Vietnam and its toiling class in the rice fields, which is the agriculture that occupies the ranking Fifth in the world in its production.
Tsunami
Tsunami immerses wheels and hats in all kinds, and the sounds of grades and bells rode with the calls of sellers and cheats of chefs, while the joyful sidewalks continue to receive fans of the Vietnamese kitchen full of dishes and tastes.
As the North Vietnam Spring approaches its end, where Hanoi is located, everyone tries to enjoy the remainder of April before the rainy season. On the tables and chairs “dwarf” size, there is no sound above the sound of “Fu” soup.
In a chat with Al -Jazeera Net delegate, Shamshao says, with a huge amount of “Fu” that the icon of the Vietnamese kitchen is undisputedly, and his reputation and fame gained the simplicity of its components composed of a rich rice gravy, cow or chicken meat with generous additions of soy buds, onions and fresh herbs.
While the steam clouds are escalating from the amount of giant soup, Shamshau adds in a tone of pride and pride, that everyone stands out of respect and appreciation in front of this economic and popular soup that can be eaten at any time, and anywhere in the country of “Vietcong”, which is the name of the old warriors and revolutionaries who defeated the most powerful armies of the world.
With a confident expert smile, translated by artificial intelligence, the woman whispered a joke, “Do not forget to indulge what you can in the bowl!” It is an important advice that may save you from “souvenirs” of another kind that may “decorate” your shirt in the event that you can’t avoid hot broth spray while it is totade.
With a clear reflection of the presence of the descendants of Moliere in the Vietnamese culture, restaurants specialized in “Mani” sandwich, which is inspired by the French cuisine, can also be found from the “bagit” bread, but in a local version.
Magic drink
In other rituals, His Holiness is no less than the eating of the streets (Street Food), the black witch here exceeds the limits of the morning drink or the amended cup of mood, to a deeper issue that affects the identity of the Vietnamese and their culture.
The coffee mania is invaded here every 8 million corner of the city, especially on the banks of the lake “Hoan Kiam”, the center of the capital, and there is no doubt that the experience of “egg coffee” will summarize all the story.
As its name indicates, “Ka in Trung” is prepared from the original Vietnamese robosta coffee, mixed with condensed milk, cheese, butter and sugar, adding egg yolks, and everyone whisk for about 5 minutes, then add a cup of “espresso” and the result is a unique taste that is leisurely in the second largest producer of coffee globally.
And on the rhythm of activities that focused mainly in the vicinity of the lake, where the headquarters of the ruling Communist Party of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam continues to celebrate calmly – it seems that it prints their experienced personality – with the anniversary of the fiftieth of the Federation between the northern and southern Shattams of Vietnam, which falls on the thirtieth of this month.
The celebrations will be exceptional this year, as the authorities have allocated major demonstrations throughout the country, which are expected to be concluded with a huge review in the city of “Ho Chi”, the previous capital of the southern part before entering the forces of “Uncle Hu” and expelled the last remnants of Americans on a historic day in 1975.
