Rouverture des restaurants – Số 7

Lundi soir à minuit, donc lundi 19h en Suisse, les restaurants à Hanoï ont pu enfin à nouveau accueillir les clients. Depuis plusieurs semaines seule la vente à emporter était autorisée. Avant qu’ils n’acceptent plus que la vente à emporter, une décision avait titillé ma curiosité : à Hanoï les restaurants devaient fermer les terrasses… Continue reading Rouverture des restaurants – Số 7

Piscine et climat tropical

Nous sommes partis seulement 4 jours chez la belle-famille à Hải Phòng (de samedi matin à mardi après-midi), et j’avais quand même de temps en temps expliqué à quelques voisins comment faire : activer le filtrage quelques heures par jour après avoir mis dix pastilles de chlore.

However, making them is… Continue reading Bánh Cuốn

The area has sparse traffic and large pavements, surrounded by gardens and trees. I find the sidewalk… Continue reading Theorem

Here We Go Again

This Monday evening was the last of a 4-days week-end which we thoroughly enjoyed. The good news is, the week-end won’t stop! (for the kids). The real news is, Hà Nội is closing schools like last year, and nobody knows when they will reopen. Guess I’m happy I bought a computer for my son. That… Continue reading Here We Go Again
