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.
