Tiếng còi tàu...
Ngày bé lên nhà bà ngoại ở thành phố mới thấy tàu hỏa.
Nhà bà cách đường tàu một khoảng kha khá, tiếng còi thì vẫn nghe thấy mà chạy ra thì tàu đi mất rồi. Những lần vô tình đi đâu về thấy tàu, thấy may mắn vô cùng.
Một buổi sáng hoàn hảo là khi bà ngoại chở đi chợ, xem bà chọn đồ và mặc cả (dù "hơi" lâu), bà mua cho một túi sữa đậu, khi về thì gặp tàu hỏa. Thấy tàu khách thì vui hơn tàu hàng :D
Có lần buổi chiều, nghe tiếng còi tàu, cậu lấy xe đạp, đạp hết tốc lực đi đường tắt chở cháu ra, mong đón được bóng đoàn tàu, thấy đuôi mất hút dần cũng được. Nhưng hình như không lần nào kịp cả. Nhưng niềm háo hức sau yên xe thì mãi vẫn nhớ, và thấy trân trọng vô cùng.
Ở nơi ở mới, tối nào cũng nghe tiếng còi tàu, kí ức hồi nhỏ lại quay về. Hình như mình vẫn chưa lớn, dù năm mới sắp tới rồi kìa.

~ Rain bubble ~
Summer rain usually creates bubbles at the end of each session when the rain drops become bigger, and dropping speed is slow enough. They are fat with a cute appearance and vanish so fast. There is a little girl, sitting aside windows and observes bubbles being born in the yard’s corner and back to liquid. Rain bubbles make her feel vaguely regrettable, as they are a signal of rain soon ending, along with a slight hope that a rainbow may come after that. Time flies,...
Today it rains, but where are the bubbles?

{ Mango Mõ]
In the North of Vietnam, there is a traditional music called "Chèo". "Chèo" is the favorite melody of almost our grand parents and I used to hear "Chèo" when I was a child, my grandmothers listened to it. I was impressed with the play " Quan Âm Thị Kính", the play is the story about a unjust accusation of an innocent woman. I also studied this play in Liturature, I read role-play as the mother-in-law, very rude and caustic role.
Anw, let's say about the "buffalo-child" toy, a handmade intrusment, "Mango Mõ". In the above play, there is a role as Mõ, who is responsible as an announcer to villagers in the past, when there is no speaker (of course no Internet). This person walks around the village, repeats the announcement, attract people's attention by knocking Mõ.
Today I slice the mango I bought one week ago. Thanks God, it's still eatable, tastes quite well. Wish I have sticky rice and coconut sause, then I can have Mango stick rice. :D
After slicing the Mango, I have Mango seed, take out the seed's insider, the left thing is the hard husk of Mango seed as a empty box, which is the similar structure of Mõ. Knocking, knocking, I have a "buffalo-child" Mõ right now.
Maybe no village, no one need to hire a Mõ now. So I will hire me as a Mõ for Du du xanh. Hmm, to call back to some point of time in somewhere. . coc coc coc ...

Once upon a time, there was a little girl, who lived as simple and happy as the rice in the field. When the rice was green, or yellow, or even the rice was cooked, life was always peaceful and lovely.
One memory that can not be blurred in her life, is the one related to Papaya, haha.
My father told that (maybe he sang)
“ Little Minh has a papaya horn, plays around and keeps blowing Tò te”
These words become a part of my childhood, my life and heals my heart whenever it finds a peaceful corner.
By the way, green papaya has such attractive smells, although it has extremely much sap, which can make your skin itchy, crazily. I wish I can make Green papaya perfume lol.
Ya so I love papaya a lot. This page was named accordingly.
“ Little Minh has a papaya horn, plays around and keeps blowing Tò te”
…Once upon sometimes, there is a little girl who wants to immerse in the Papaya world.
Do you know how to make Papaya horn 😍

Come to Vietnam, a foreign country, what can you do?
First of all, I sure that most of you want to visit the famous places you have seen and watched through Internet. Yeaaa, they are so attractive.
However, you may be ignoring a big tourism source, a big chance with cheap price to discover the culture of that country. Being involved in the daily life during special time of the year will give you a deep understanding and amazing discovery about the customs and culture!

However, due to this feature, Hai Duong reserved the original customs and you can see and experience what Vietnamese actually do during Lunar New Year.

🤔WHY DO WE CHOOSE THE TIME BEFORE TẾT TO HOLD TET TOUR🤔
Tet, according to the custom, officially happens on the 23th of the last month of the year. Since this time, a lot traditional customs are organized, you can see the Tet decoration more popularly and specially.
Moreover, as a process to achieve success, the time before due date is the time you try and experience, it is the most interesting time, the time we hold Tet Tour is the same to that. Busy but excited, eager, animated time.
Another reason is that Vietnamese considered Tet is the precious and inviolable for family so it's quite hard for you to experience activities.
The time after Tet is very interesting and attractive with a lot of spring festival but It has the special atmosphere of Tet. By the way, VIETLLAGE is going to hold Spring Tour providin to you the experience with festivals!!!
