North Vietnam, the faint impression, thick coffee

As the saying goes "distant as neighbor", Viet Nam, a neighbour, a feeling or a bit complex. Because 30 years ago, the war, not to forget, for them, for us. This time go to Viet Nam in Hanoi and the Bay, just north of the journey is fur, Viet Nam has opened its doors to open China to develop tourism, let me feel 30 years later, the Viet Nam, is very active in pursuing their development. French small floor style that Viet Nam was very poor very backward, not necessarily, species belonging to the Viet Nam States the type of the richness of the poor, countries although overall look backward, but people actually have a life. Take the Hanoi, full street motorcycles, full of French small villas in the street. Motorcycle to seven or eight thousand Yuan, but real estate is even more amazing was expensive to second, $ RMB a square meters. However, Viet Nam is not bought this House, their own building! Viet Nam people buy the land, generally only 60 square meters, but all lifelong to oneself. Space is limited, unlimited space, Viet Nam in 60-square-foot lot on dynamic site, make a 3, 4-storey building without a problem. So, whether the suburbs or the downtown area, filled with French stands in the heart of the small Western pastiche, facade only 3 meters wide, but the length is 10 m. Especially in Kiem downtown area, this French ambience of a small house, let me eyes bright, admiration. Small buildings full of France ambience to produce colour, pastel yellow, pastel green, pink, purple, pink and blue ... With nostalgic wooden window grid, circular form of carving a railing, the flowers, small balcony, facing a small cafe, with exquisite detail, it is a charme. Hear about South Vietnam more beautiful, more rich French style, will have the opportunity to savor. Viet Nam coffee style long heard that Viet Nam coffee taste unique, most famous as a drip coffee. This time a go, it really lives up to its name. Drip coffee is a kind of instant coffee, simple structure, easy to use, not like other coffee ware to use electricity, simply boiled water, BREW coffee powder, then visible bit coffee sauce pot from the filter, for a moment that in falling into a cup of fragrant's pure coffee. Just to Hanoi that night, I was wondering is it to have a drink, and out of the hotel lounge, a sign for "Kiwi" cafe with neon, attract me. Point? menu full of Viet Nam, none of them make sense of. Stay for a long time, thought, and generally every coffee shops should have homemade signs of coffee, then point the "Kiwi coffee"! sat on the sofa on a dozen minutes coffee came, it really didn't let me down, has a lot of character. Coffee glass containers, very strong, not more, not about 200ML, add milk and sugar, bitter, roasted it full around, and match point is a dish of Red watermelon. Because thicker, so only a small mouth with a small mouth, fine products, but there are also found inside, there appears to be a Kiwi fruit, lychee, cut detail, rich coffee taste, great tropical characteristics. Pay the Bill when coffee prices is a Viet Nam 30000 shield, equivalent to 11 RMB. Because of the price, so I thought it was a day of coffee, but the second night at the next Dragon, I experienced a genuine common coffee. For example, if the "Kiwi" Cafe is equivalent to the island of coffee, the next Dragon Street coffee shop is the equivalent of "Storm" tea with milk tea shop. Under the Dragon's Cafe like big gears, the shops in the streets with a small table, coffee, beer, snacks, local groups, the Syrian sitting smoke chat, very arbitrary. Me and a friend to pick up a small table on sat down and ordered iced coffee. This finally see drip coffee of course, is a bit rich into the Cup. In the Cup with condensed milk in advance, coffee infusion blend with condensed milk, stirring slowly and then join the ice Cup with the pure flavor of coffee brewed Viet Nam! coffee is very dense, drink a coffee, take a few bites of ice water, it is no wonder that with a small cup of coffee, you can sit on a second hour. Ice water cool the coffee was horrible, time flows in the leisurely pace. During this period, our Lady also enjoy the next table a gentleman's gentleman service, because I can't find the waiter continued ice water, so the next table who dressed in costume, hotel managers alone coffee man in local dialect called square, help us to continue on the ice water, also help us to take pictures, really appreciate it! checkout, a glass of iced coffee price is RMB 5 element, so when are cheaper! we go, more local people came to prefer coffee, coffee, beer, Diamondback, conversation and laughter, and excitement to the seaside town of continued nights ...
