you think that Krakow is a city with character?
Let dispel their illusions ...
's in front of you: Cong Hoa State Capital Xa Hoi Chu Nghia Viet Nam (in free translation Repulika Socialist Vietnam) - Ha Noi
began with a deep order: get up tomorrow morning and going. Of course, if the caller is not from the Polish about 4 am Mr. A., who woke me up at 9, then I fell asleep (dziękuję!;)). But I picked it up and made my way to the bus. You know what is the basic equipment of a tourist in Vietnam (like me in the sense of not knowing Vietnamese)? Not at all comfortable shoes, do not store food and not a big backpack. Pen and paper. There are two reasons. 1: Few people here talking in English. 2: As already anyone know english, it's great for him ennoblement is an opportunity to talk with a foreigner. So not only will approach and say more or less broken angielszyzną "I'm so ashamed, but can I talk in Angielski with you?" (For not speaking English again a free translation: "I'm very embarrassed, but if I can talk to you in English?"), But also will bring the most important monuments of the city and give all necessary information concerning such communications. Why this card and a pen? And try again two hours later, after the Vietnamese did not znającemu English bus driver that you want to visit Technical University of Thai Nguyen ... definitely the easiest way to let sympatycznemu wietnamczykowi write the name on the sheet, and then just to show who you need. It's the same for buying drugs from a pharmacy (unfortunate hoarseness) and to negotiate prices on a roadside stand (do not hesitate to - and so the lowest price will be 3 times higher than normal just because jesteśnie "from abroad").

A And by the way: like a pretty good coaches in Europe. Even if it goes nice with it not that cold vents go at top speed and is just cold. From extreme to extreme. Outside the 35 st, 15 st in the bus anyone is surprised that I am hoarse?
Returning to the topic. Since I had only one day (somehow still scared right away for the night somewhere stayed dormitories ") for the purpose of peeled himself two places in Ha Noi. Old Hanoi also known as the 36 Streets (36 Pho Phung) and found Jeziono near Hoan Kiem (Sword returned.) Echoing in my tours (book form, of course):
"Lake (...) is called from an event which allegedly took place in XVw. After the lightning, the pogrom invading Chinese army mingowskich Emperor Le Loi ( Le Thai To, reigned 1428-1433), Lodz swim in the lake, when from the depths of a gold turtle emerged to pick up an enchanted sword, which assured the ruler of victory. This story, like the legend of King Arthur and Eksakaliburze, confirms Vietnamese in the belief that in times of crisis, they can count on divine intervention. (...) Indeed, they live here, or at least lived giant turtles. A specimen caught in 1968. reportedly weighed 250 kg and probably belonged to one of the Asian varieties of turtles with soft armor. "
And now a little bit from my point of view. The Vietnamese have a place to be very romantic. During my short walk along the way I passed a dozen pairs of wedding costumes doing the pictures. I loved the fact that, although the white color of dress may be predominant, This also saw the blue-green, red, yellow ... The place is really beautiful, but I somehow could not I turn off the perception of the street located 10m behind my back, with a tendency to snap a street already described. I do not quite know how you can immerse yourself in a romantic atmosphere in the smog and noise. On an island in the lake is small and quite strong ruined tower commemorating aforementioned turtle. The same turtle can be found in the Temple of Jade Mountain in the north-eastern part of the park. Vietnamese XIII worship there - the eternal hero Tran Hung Dao, a genius of martial arts and doctor Quan Vu La It. connects the island with the shore really nice, and red curved bridge Solar Ray (The Huc). All this makes a big impression. In the temple of rich colors, decorations and gilding is huge. Below you will find pictures, but this does not reflect all of this incredible atmosphere. The saturation of red, shades of yellow, orange, gold up is breathtaking. Because we are away from the street surrounded by trees, real peace prevails here. A smell of burnt incense adds extra magic to this place. It's one of those places that not only attracts, but absorbs all by myself.

| really a lot of people come here to pray. It is a country firmly attached to the traditions of their ancestors. |
But after a moment of reflection back to reality. Only a few steps away from our old Hanoi. It's also a place whose description is impossible. Need to feel the atmosphere. But we have to quickly switch to the quick response. Here, all in a hurry. Has the impression that among these narrow, numerous (though apparently As the name suggests there are 36) there is so many people that Gdańsk would not be able to accommodate them. Specific streets are occupied by different artisans. Therefore, it is street, where you will find only products made of bamboo, or only the hardware (the products are manufactured in the middle of the street, practically in front of everyone.) But the most impressive stand with lanterns. An oasis of color in the gray surroundings.
has the impression that the city is gray and dirty. It's hard to break through the noise, smog, dust, holes in the road and debris lying on the sidewalks. But when the eye strain, increase head, you can see the traces of former glory. Today obscured by a tangle of electrical cables, covered with a dirt and trees, but somewhere out there waiting for his return in grand style ...

trip time to go, but still definitely come back here. It is only 70 km, so a 2 hour drive by bus, accompanied by a cold of some Vietnamese trainers on you my English. Even I know when I'll be back:) Here is a brief history of the rise of the city (again for the guide).
"The Origins of the size of Hanoi are associated with the figure of Ly Cong Uana, orphans brought up in the temple, and then quickly awansującego the palace guard up to the rank of commander. In 1010r., 4 years after Emperor Le śemirci Hoan, Ly Cong Uan ascended to the throne and gave rise to 200-year reign of Ly dynasty. moved the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La, which he called Thang Long (Ascending Dragon), which is the current Hanoi. "
noticed coincidence? 10. October held in Hanoi on the occasion of United Feta 1000-year anniversary. I can not wait;)

| This sculpture is located near the lake in front of the statues of the king .. . Could the Vietnamese wanted to master the world? And at least one of the hemisphere? |
I hope that this time we do not get lost. I mean, of course, Agnes GAPA even got into a good coach, but going in the wrong direction. Well, but I was watching over me, the spirit of Ly Cong Uana because I got out just in a sort of bus station, where he easily found a bus to the Thai Nguyen ... ;)
At the end of a curiosity. Around Hanoi Red River flows (Hong Ha). Guess what color is this? : P

| But it is obvious that the blue;) |
PS. I hope that no one today will not complain about a too small number of photos;)
