- Walking under the yellow streetlights on Cao Ba Quat Street on a dry summer night. Holding hands is nice, but walking alone (and might make others worried) is also fun. You can bring a dreamy literary book and sit by the roadside near the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum to read. Then walk back, and if someone clatters open the gate for you, that’s even better. 1. If you’re walking alone, your feet will often be skipping and hopping as you go, as if they’re not touching the ground. Two shadows will fall on each other. Walk slowly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Lie down with your lover before sunset in a location higher than the street level. It has to be while there’s still light for photosynthesis. Then go out onto the balcony and you’ll see, behind the lush green foliage, swirling clouds, swirling pink and orange light, swirling people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Various forms of street art. Street dance (salsa, meringue, bachata) at the Ly Thai To monument, ballroom and Latin dance on the sidewalk with music from your phone (the sidewalks of embassies are usually wide, you can dance for the embassy security guards to watch, and even entertain grandmothers pushing strollers to feed their grandchildren). My favorite is still art happening on the street, performing dances, filming, and causing two motorbikes to crash into each other, challenging the speed teams of the local police and cultural police. Sometimes, suddenly reading Shakespeare while walking down the street.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
5a. Wearing a floral dress, high heels, a military backpack, riding a 50cc motorbike (82cc), and a helmet. Guys should try this, girls should try this too, it’s really cool. A shaved head would be even more interesting. You could experiment with matching outfits like a Minsk, 67cc, or dirt bike, for example. Another suggestion is to wear a headband with insect antennas instead of a helmet. Or military boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n5b. Wearing pink floral pants, wrapping a Cambodian scarf around your waist instead of a shirt, carrying a Western girlfriend wearing only a black lace lingerie set plus a slightly large, long, thin light blue scarf wrapped twice around her body instead of a dress, still riding a 50cc motorbike (82cc). The Western girlfriend is also carrying a very large basket, inside which is a hat, placed on her fair thighs. Bonus: the distorted expressions of the people on the road. Saturday night at the international intersection, draft beer at Ta Hien. Fashionable outfit: Wrapping a scarf around your neck when changing clothes is highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Overtaking those cars that honk their horns annoyingly and unreasonably, slowing down your 82 to 15km\/h, determined not to let them overtake you. This often happens on Kim Ma – Nguyen Thai Hoc road every morning\/noon when she’s just driven out of her house and is still a bit tipsy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
7a. At night, around 2-3 am, sending your boyfriend home and driving yourself home from the city center. The road is very empty, the Son Tay section is usually deserted. So peaceful that you just want to enjoy that feeling alone, without sharing it with anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7b. Your boyfriend insists on taking you home, but you absolutely refuse, so in the end, you drive side-by-side for a while, stop at a green light, say goodbye, and go your separate ways. Share a little, then go your separate ways again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7c. Taking your girlfriend home late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hanoi is both small and big. My boyfriend’s house is always very far away. My girlfriend’s house is usually a little closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Watch movies at TPD \u2013 Cinema Space on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. Going alone to watch independent movies. Every time I go, I run into someone I know \u2013 I don’t know if that’s a plus or a minus.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
8b. Entering through the side entrance to watch shows at the Grand Theatre without buying a ticket. I’ve seen some great shows like Linh Nga’s “Vu” or the Summer Gala of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- In the morning, I see a wedding car outside, buy a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums, wrap them in newspaper and tie them with string, and bring them to my friend’s house as a gift. My friend will usually be both amused and touched, and confused. But they’ll definitely be happy. At least their mother will be happy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Following my friends to Hanoi’s popular hangouts, encountering stupid girls, making fun of them in front of them, girls who fall backward and hit their butts, and suffer traumatic brain injuries, or even fall face down and suffer traumatic brain injuries. Overall, it’s incredibly entertaining.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
This is my current summer list, including things I always enjoy. There are other things that are good too, but I don’t always crave them. The things on this list are always great, and I’ve never wanted any of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
