LIVING IN HANOI
Wednesday, 19. August 2009, 14:45:49
It’s sunny day after raining last week.
The lift goes me up to the 15th floor of my office building. From the top of building and enjoy the view, Hanoi is tiny.
My hands can reach the West lake, the royal tombs of Uncle Ho, Hoan Kiem district… and my fingers seem to touch them.
Hanoi is so poor and tiny, but it's immovables and housings prices in here are very expensive, Hanoi was ranked as (in?) the Top 50 most expensive cities in the world. A person as me, monthly income is about VND 5 million can not buy a housing during all my life. If you want to live here, you have to be rich, or not you shouldn’t. But, most people live in Hanoi who have their income like me, they still have a housing, why? (It is a secret)
When I was a student, existed by mother’s money, Hanoi was beautiful in my eyes. I loved the ancient trees, ancient streets, mixed traffic, the older housing were built by French… Each weekend, my close friends and I went to Trang Tien street to read book without money and eating creams.
Living in Hanoi, if you have a lot of money, you will feel freedom, but if you’re poor, you will feel the pressure.
Yes, the Pressure! Everything, everywhere! Daily, when you wake up while your jobs are waiting you to handle. End of each monthly, you receive a little money from your boss and you spent all your money in hiring house, eating, learning, clothes, and your relationships…
Last, it’s difficult to find out a lover in Hanoi. If you have your darling, the pressures can reduce to ZERO. It’s pleasant (lovely), do you agree with me? – The answer for “WHY?” which is “The power of love”!
