I went to BaNa mountain -A green tourist area - in DaNang city by accident. When I was on way home to Hanoi city from BinhDinh province, my sworm brother asked me to stopover in DaNang city to visit him. I stayed one night in DaNang and then in the next morning I heard him talk about BaNa mountain which is just about 50km in distance from DaNang city to the west. I asked him to take me there to see because how could I miss the chance to contemplace such a great natural landscape like that.

We went to BaNa mountain by motorcycle. Yes sound like crazy but we went there by that way. At an altitude of 1,487m above sea-level, to reach BaNa mountain, we had to overcome 15km of  sloping and very bendy road. It was a had trip but it’s worthy with what I saw later. The more we were near BaNa the more I felt cold even it was summer in Danang city and the temperature down there was about 36oC.

 We step by step reached BaNa in the white clound. Wow I felt so amazing , like I was flying on the clound. From the top of the mountain, i could see all the view of Danang city, the sea, the beach, and another lower moutains. Came here, i could know more about some place- name such as: Bana - NuiChua, HoangLan villa, Mo stream, Da stream, Tranh cavern, Ba temple. All these places so beautifull, so poetic.

Bana at night sometime have camp-fire. Right beside the flickring light of capm-fire, hundreds of people dancing and singing together, this is time people live very close together. I love so much this peridor of time. Lived in Bana moutain one day, I could feel like to live through four seasons of a year, winter, autumn, summer and spring. Bana in my mind so beautifull, came to Bana, I had so many feelings that i couldnt forget. Someday, I want to come back to Bana moutain again. See you soon Bana.

Six years ago I’ve been work for about 6 months in Ho Chi Minh city. First time I felt that SaiGon - another name of Ho Chi Minh city- is a very noisy city. I landed off at about 9pm, but on way to my office there, I saw that many people still on streets, in club, or restaurents.

Ho Chi Minh is a populated city, and same as Hanoi , Ho Chi Minh is a center of economy, culture and education of Vietnam too. This city is named follow the name of president Ho Chi Minh, the first peresident of Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh is a famous city about travel, each year, this city wellcome about 3 million international tourists equal 70% totall international tourists come in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh is a young city with 300 years old but have many tourist destinations: museums, pagodas, churchs and alots of old and young special architec buildings.

Very different with Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh city have just 2 seasons, rainy season and dry season. But I still remember on Christmas night it was abit cold even on day time it was very hot. The average temperature here in Ho Chi Minh city always highter than Ha noi, it’s always about 25 to 28°C. The humidity of Ho Chi Minh city is not hight so even it is very hot but people still feel ok because sweaty not too much.

Locale people here are very honest and friendly. Ho Chi Minh city have many beautifull girls. They are always make you have to turn back to see everytime they pass by. Ho Chi Minh’s girls have a very sweet and lovely voice. I’m sure if you just one time hear their voice, you will remember it for long time. And lets imagine if you have a girlfriend is a pretty Ho Chi Minh’s girl with amazing lovely voice and hot body…. wowwww i have nothing to say more than a word : GREATTTTTT

Ha Noi, the capital of Viet nam, is a  seductive mixability between Asia and Western cause under hundreds of years dominated by China and  was one of a former French colony. Ha noi be came well-known with old quater, with Long Bien-a old bridge built across Red Rive. Ha noi with almost one thousand years history untill now still keep traditional look in old quater. Walking slowly at Ho Guom Lake, I still feel like years ago Ha Noi same as a Sweet , Deep-lying Beautifull Girl in the sunshine or sunset.

In my mind still can hear the  bell sound of tramcar when my mum took me to Ho Guom Lake at weekend. We could  use the tramcar to go around Ho Guom Lake and then stoped at Trang Tien street to have some ice creams. The old quaters of Ha Noi named by the goods people sell on its. This is one of many nice things I can feel about Ha Noi. With more than 36 streets, and each street named by each good and industry, I can imagine how animation and crowded Ha noi had been have before.

West Lake places at the west of Ha noi, is a green lung of capital. West Lake makes Ha noi have more pure air and is a landscape to be favoured by nature. I still remember that when I was at Chu Van An highschool- located right be side West Lake, when we had free school time, me and some friends hand in hand walk along Thanh Nien street, enjoied light winds blow from the lake. Wow how sweet it was those beautifull days !

Ha noi has 4 seasons, but for me and other local people the nicest season of Ha noi is autumn. Streets with trees are begining to shed their leaves bring to Ha noi a very beautifull landcape. Autumn is a season of milk flower. Go on street of Ha noi at night, you can smell a sweet smeeling of milk flower even it is  on another street. The street noted by milk flower is Nguyen Du Street. This street go in poems and songs and locale people take with them all their life.

Eating and drinking of Ha noi is well-know by many kind of noodles suck as Pho, Bun oc, Bun rieu, Bun thang… Each noodle is each feeling of Ha noi. If you’ ve been eat noodle -  a refinded eating of Hanoi’s people,  I think you will remember it for ever.

The speaking voice of Ha noi people is a standard pronunciation’s voice. Ha noi people  is very elegent and precise. Hanoi’s girls look very gracefull and very beautifull  with Ao dai- Vietnamese dress. Next year 2010, Ha noi will be 1000 years old. We will  have many festivals to celebrate this event.

And me, I am pround of that I am a Ha noi’s girl. If one day I have to go away from Hanoi, Vietnam, I will always have Hanoi in my mind, will always remember about Ha noi - my motherland.
