-Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum & House
Visited the mausoleum where the body of Ho Chi Minh, the founding father of Vietnam, is preserved and enshrined. Arrived before 7:30 AM, the first tour of the day, on the strong recommendation of my friend Tomomi. Amidst tight security on the vast grounds, we formed a line and proceeded slowly to the enshrinement site. Beautiful and solemn. I'm glad I came.
ベトナム建国の父ホーチミンのご遺体を保存して安置されているのを見学。友人ともみさんの絶対的な薦めにより、朝イチの7:30前に到着。広大な敷地の厳重な警備の中、列になって安置場所まで長々と進む。美しく荘厳。来てよかった。ホーチミンの家も見学。広い敷地で出入口は1つずつしかなく、どこから出ればいいのかさまよった。
-Bold Brew Cafe @boldbrew.cafeworkdate
Stopped at a cozy cafe with great atmosphere on the way back and had Salt Coffee.
It's coffee topped with smooth, salty cream – absolutely delicious. A fantastic cafe with WiFi, power outlets, and a relaxing vibe.
帰りの途中にあった雰囲気の良いカフェに立ち寄ってソルトコーヒーをいただく。
滑らかな塩味のクリームが載ったコーヒーで、最高レベルに美味しい。WiFiも電源もあって落ち着ける素晴らしいカフェだった。
-Train Street
A super famous tourist spot. Mr. Kuroiwa told me the train schedule, so I timed my visit perfectly to experience the thrilling train passing through. It was quiet and comfortable in the morning. I ordered an avocado smoothie and started drinking it. Then, several pieces of plastic about 1cm long came out, which was really disappointing. They didn't understand English, but it seemed like plastic had gotten mixed into the ice. They were refusing cold drink orders to the next customers, so maybe they are trying to be responsible. They charged me the full price though.
有名すぎる観光地。黒岩さんが電車の来る時間を教えてくれたので、それに合わせて来て迫力の電車通過を体験できた。朝は空いていて快適。アボカドスムージーをオーダーして飲んでいたら。1cmくらいのビニールがいくつもでてきて閉口。英語は通じないけどどうやら氷にビニールが混ざってたらしい。次に来た客には冷たいドリンクのオーダーを断っていたから一応ちゃんとしてるお店なのかも。しっかり料金は取られた。
-Bun Cha Dac Kim ( Michelin)
Lunch was at this famous bun cha spot recommended by Chiyono-san. It was incredibly delicious. You absolutely must go here.
ランチはちよのさんオススメのブンチャの名店。ものすごく美味しかった。ここは絶対行くべき。
-The Hanoi Cafe @thehanoicafe
Just a 1-minute walk from the bun cha place. A lovely cafe tucked away on a narrow street like a market alley. The egg coffee was superb.
ブンチャの店から徒歩1分。市場通りのような小道にある素敵なカフェ。エッグコーヒー絶品だった。
-Bami Bread @bamibread
I took away Banh Mi and had in my hotel room for dinner.
ディナーはバインミーをテイクアウトしてホテルの部屋で。
