In order to appreciate the six million city, I will go to the capital of Vietnam, I decided on the eve of the Vietnamese New Year. At this time, always favorable weather conditions to walk through the streets that are never empty. This is a city where tourists always have to go where to see and what to try, even if you are not here for the first time. Hanoi can be called a certain original megalopolis with an unforgettable Asian flavor. As a rule, most Asian countries are not very expensive for recreation, Vietnam is no exception. For example, from the airport to the city center you can go on the bus just 30 cents, but time to such a journey will take up to two hours. To get faster, you will have to spend the whole 40 thousand !!! But 40 thousand is only 2 dollars. The course in Vietnam is pleasantly pleased with the rumor, here you can feel like a millionaire. By changing $ 100, you will receive 2,100,000 dongs. Most of all, which was surprised by me in Vietnam, this is a huge buzzing sea from mopeds, they flock from everywhere with a huge flow, and just spread, and it seems that this flow does not stop when. An interesting fact - the Government of Vietnam to combat traffic jams introduced restrictions on the vehicle movement in the city, you can ride at a certain time.
The feeling of the holiday is here on every street, everything is decorated with ribbons, lanterns and colorful flags, bright garlands. The celebration of the New Year here passes simply ambitious. And they celebrate it in the first days of February in a moon-sun calendar, for Vietnamese it is the most important and favorite holiday of the year, it marks the beginning of spring. Therefore, as a New Year's tree, it does not use spruce or pine, but a tangerine tree or a period of peach. There are Vietnamese and pre-New Year rituals and traditions. They necessarily honor the gods, bring fresh fruits and flowering branches to the altars. And in special metal furnaces, they are not very large and sold on every corner, burning heaps of money, not real. It is believed that such a ritual will help to quickly get rich. In addition to all this, all Vietnamese ordered traditional souvenir scrolls that are decorated at home and give to loved people. Such scrolls promise luck in the new year.
Vietnam mysterious and not ordinary country, in it a lot of unusual and different, to visit there at least one day.
Traveling through Hanoi I can say that despite the fact that this is a business, cultural and financial center of a colorful country, is a city for any tourists, both for the rich and the average.
