"There is duuuużo colder ..." Tam Dao or the footsteps of Uncle Ho

The long-forgotten "School of Survival in Vietnam." Remember. If you Vietnamese says, "Watch out, there is a lot colder," it did not take their tops, jackets and extra pair of socks, just think: "Hurrah! In the end I could breathe!"

And everything about Tam Dao. I would recommend take a look here: http://je.pl/luni .

Tam Dao is a mountain health resort. Developed by the French since 1902. It is therefore a unique feature: just 1.5 hours to drive from Ha Noi and if not for the Vietnamese on the streets of this could be his left nut that somehow we moved to France. Besides, as we are about 1000m above sea level, it is actually colder here than, for example in Hanoi. Believe me, the 25st at noon is the perfect weather for walking:) And even if the relative humidity dropped ... For the first time a month I could really breathe easy. :)

See you in Tam Dao in theory, there is not much. I am referring to the public. However, the atmosphere of this town makes you want to stay there longer. Just sit in a cafe on the street makes a lot of fun. Here the people are friendly, no one hurries no trumpet. I talked over coffee with a little old lady. Of course she spoke in Vietnamese, I spoke Polish, but it does not bother anyone:) It is, however, take a walk. Whole Tam Dao is a few streets located on the slopes of the mountains. Going up the whole time we reach the temple. You have to climb up to it after a few degrees, but it's worth ...

decor is very rich. I sometimes get the impression that the money put into these temples, that half the poor part of Hanoi could feed ...

Ho Chi Minh City has to be.

Frankly I find it a little bit associated with our Christmas crib ...

Gifts

mandatory. As no money, fruits, sweets, etc. ..

This is a gold figure of a ship in the cabinet. Only covers her a little cash ...

Goddess? ;)

as in Europe. Everywhere You can buy plastic and kitschy souvenirs ... In traditional incense Nalewki and offend the eyes of a rose ...

How would you go a bit further up, it turns out that once you reach a thousand degrees on the mountain top. Unfortunately, as I walked there the other day, the weather was rather kiepskawa, so image is not too much.

But back to the themes of faith ... Another point to visit the French's church. The information board shows that as the sole object "French" in this village was not destroyed during or after the war. Now, a small Catholic community collects coins for their restoration. I admit that, although there are no such wealth as in Buddhist temples or konfucjonistycznych (frankly I do not always distinguish between them) is the old walls make it easy to ponder there ...

There is one point in Tam Dao which is a must see. The local market. But his deliberately leave at the end as the most interesting. Meanwhile you try to feel the atmosphere of Tam Dao in the virtual a stroll:

Unfortunately, the gap between rich and poor is vast. In addition to luxurious hotels with swimming pools in the western style of living people in such conditions.

War, although it has already completed several years ago, still reminds us about yourself, such views ...

And at the end of the market. Maybe memory (note, this part of the picture is not for people with extremely faint hearted - maybe pictures are not shocking in any way, but they are typically "non-European")

Increase the

you this picture. Yes, it is a chicken. And so, is all ... With feathers, beak and legs ... In nalewce P

And that jar of honey. Why limit themselves to the honey, indeed this with slices could ever be together with the bees at once ... And how much less work for the beekeeper!

head shaman of some of the root ...

A is the head of goats. Picture blurred, because I have already chased away from the camera. That to hang on the wall in the .... I know? trophy?

different liqueurs. Each jar is a scorpion and a cobra. And that was such the Salamanders, and all sorts of big worms.

Collection butterflies. True. Around half of them (the smaller) met during spacerków ... Knowing the Vietnamese, it is good that the swift, and not living in a jar.

Gifts colonial. Look, sometimes as if someone were lying in the attic for years. Here are just lighter, but apart from that you can find old coins, jewelry and pipes ...

Artisans on the streets are a common sight for Vietnam.

veggies on the grill. I recommend!

Yes, it is a dog. More comments probably do not need?

This market is the heart of town. Here we hang out all day, yeah, gossips ...

And at the end of green tea as the cheapest and most popular drink ... I recommend ice to cool off! :)

can apologize for the lack of notes so long ... Frankly, it's pure laziness. Somehow, I had no creative inspiration ... And when luck came yesterday, that up until now refused to obey ... blogspot.com

Well, but let's get down to business. On Wednesday, a week ago a group of Vietnamese friend took us on a tour of foreigners Ho Chi Minh'a footsteps, whom everyone called Uncle Ho. For the unaware of the history of Vietnam: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/H% E1% BB% 93_Ch% C3% AD_Minh . Generally, Ho Chi Minh City is an object of worship of all Vietnamese. We went there on bikes, of course. Even the way the police stopped us for speeding ... All places are distant by about 80km from Thai Nguyen, which is about 1.5 hours drive (yes, I know, overwhelming speed) so the entire trip to our respectable 4 letters (not accustomed to such an effort) were a little sore (as a colleague once said: "You can get płaskodupia"). But it was definitely worth it. Anyway, see the fotkach already immediately below.

The first one went visiting the Temple of Ho Chi Minh City. All this is located in a complex known as ATK (AN Toan Khu), DIN HOA It is located in an area where the Indo-Chinese War II, stationed in Ho Chi Minh City, make decisions, sign regulation. For the Vietnamese it was a place of refuge. How it Duyen said "here you can feel safe."

saying that the Vietnamese love it, I mean, I really love it. Therefore his likeness can be found even on plates. What? Do not want to eat dinner with your face such as Kurt Cobain?

Figure Ho Chi Minh'a is really mysterious and. Uncle has some 2.5-3m in height.

course, could not fail to incense.

flowers and trees around the temple are impressive. Not only are they beautiful, but everything is very well maintained. The picture below on the special request and dedication for Andrew;)

Mango Tree

I have no idea what kind of flowers, but beautiful, is not it?

fauna and of course (no need to boast this photo;))

And this is a significant part of our team:)

After seeing the temple we went on a trip over the waterfall, where my uncle fished. You know? Vietnamese is a terrible mess. Everyone throws papers (not only) where you want to ... Therefore, you need to break through this, for example, around

And this is not an isolated incident. Yes, in most places, not excluding cafes and restaurants ...

Fortunately the road to the waterfall is rarely frequented. Or maybe just a very overgrown, and therefore do not see this mess. In any event, we could stoop to such views about it (considering the way so as not to fall from one million degrees we had to overcome)

And this is the tea:)

AJC, I forgot to warn. Today will be a few photos with me in the lead role. Who had a snap:)

hand as I reached the waterfall, then the party started. In addition to the two girls and An'a nobody abstained from the entrance to the hot water and cool down a bit after quite a long walk:) Well, who would be bothered there such trifles as clothes? Only hint that dry completely took us about 45 minutes ...

These pictures are for those who do not believe that I feel terribly high among the Vietnamese. Hint that the first photograph, is one of those larger and postawniejszych: P

views really conducive to reverie;)

Well, but after pluskaniu in water and sweets posileniu purchased before you had to go back. But still not home, because I see you are still places where the Ho Chi Minh lived.

Vietnamese continue to live in such homes in those regions.

Rice, of course.

Shack in which he stayed in Ho Chi Minh

I could not resist. Michael (Germany), so just shoots photos of the rice fields. Full dedication:)

met with the kindergarten children who willingly posed for photos:)

These trees can be found in every village (in the sense that each has its own). They are enormous! And somehow important (Vietnamese pray for them). Unfortunately I could not from any of my comrades draw precise information on how to act, but it most likely ancestral spirits.

And these spiders can be found on the road. Are the size of your hand (the large, male). According to Vietnamese venomous. I found the information somewhere that is not, but I'm not going to risk

After seeing all these interesting places, meeting many people and even more spiders, worms, etc we had to go home. Each of us on this trip was to something else. I saw a real village in Vietnam. Michael taught in Vietnamese. An took a walk, because he constantly reiterates that such views are in his standard in Thailand. A Vietnamese poobcowali the history of their country, which undoubtedly they touched, could be seen. A memorial at the end of may?

Yes, true. And yes, stuffed. And no, those are not squirrels or large rats. I have no idea what is: P

A return to the Thai Nguyen looks like ....
