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. Sauf que : je suis parti sans rien… Continue reading Piscine et climat tropical
Empty Indoor Playground
We went recently six weeks ago [because I was playing with alternate video hosting services] to an indoor playground which is a convenient way to let the kids enjoy their time while it’s (very) hot outside. Their mother can indulge in shopping while I both read my Kindle and watch the kids. Since the city… Continue reading Empty Indoor Playground
What Do You Mean It’s Not Safe?
Is the video playing fine in this post? please let me know!
H-e-a-t!
Until yesterday the temperature was around 38°C. I had not known such heat since summer 2003 in Paris, where we even reached 42°C. That summer I was working for my very first employer, a start-up where obviously every customer or prospect counted, big time! I remember my boss then sent me, as a junior network… Continue reading H-e-a-t!
Bánh Cuốn

Our whole family love them! anytime my wife would visit or invite friends, especially with other French-Vietnamese couples, bánh cuốn were a sure way to please the kids and the parents too. However, making them is… Continue reading Bánh Cuốn
Awesome Cantonese Restaurant: Fu Rong Hua (Hibiscus flower)
I did not expect that. Right in the center of the capital, next to the most famous lake for tourists, would not be the spot for the most delicious food. Well maybe with foreign travelers yet to be seen in 2021, restaurants might have adapted. That one is really good: “Fu Rong Hua”, 9 Dinh… Continue reading Awesome Cantonese Restaurant: Fu Rong Hua (Hibiscus flower)
A Walk around Hoàn Kiếm Lake at Night
Gate Hoàn Kiếm Lake This is the most famous lake in the center of Hà Nội, whose name means “return the sword” (for more about the legend, follow this link). If you look at the map, there are plenty of lakes in this capital. That one however is famous, next to the center’s tiny streets.… Continue reading A Walk around Hoàn Kiếm Lake at Night
Theorem
Whatever the width of the pavement, Vietnamese pedestrians just do not care and will walk on the street anyhow” I found a nice place for jogging from time to time – usually twice a week, at least once. 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
