Nhà tôi xưa ở phố Trương Hán Siêu, con phố nhỏ ngắn cũn, một đầu giao với phố Nguyễn Du và đầu kia là Ngô Văn Sở. Mùa thu, mỗi khi hoa sữa trên phố Nguyễn Du nở thì phòng tôi hương hoa cũng nồng nàn.
Ký hoạ và cảm giác “at home”
Cuộc sống của mình những ngày này khá bình lặng. Tuy tĩnh lặng như vậy nhưng ngày nào cũng đầy chặt những việc mình thích: vẽ, viết, học hành, đọc sách báo, nghe podcast mình thích và lại đọc thêm chút nữa.

Hanoi Today, Anything to Miss?
Whenever talking about a beautiful Hanoi, I wonder why it is always a uniform image for almost everyone: some tiny street corner which must be in the Old Quarter. So how about Hanoi of today? Is there anything to miss?

Hot Jobs In Vietnam
