Kiyoko in Hanoi

LAST SUMMER I TRAVELLED TO VIETNAM. THIS COLLECTION IS ABOUT MY TRIP. BUT FIRST OF ALL I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT MY HOME. I CALL IT...

Kiyoko ́s world

My favorite dish is a soup called miso, it is a soup with tofu and alges. Very delicious!
 We eat it with wooden sticks called
 chopsticks and a big ceramic spoon. I love to eat this soup with my sisters making noise.

For hot and sunny days we use a special paper fan which is called uchiwa. My grandmother gave me hers when I was five.  
It is very old.

And even I forgot our little talisman, the lucky cat, maneki neko!
  This cat with an upright paw is famous allover the
world, they say it brings you luck to have one in you entry.

Bustling hanoi

I saw so many colorful fruits and vegetables in the old quarter at famous hang duong street.
  My absolute favorite fruits are the sweet red litschi and the incredible green mang cau.

When I was hungry I ate a pho soup at one of the many street vendors! The pho soup is a famous dish from Hanoi and is mainly with rice noodles and beff or chicken.
  Now, Ím not sure if I prefer miso or pho?  
Last and most important thing:  all the time in Hanoi I went by bicycle as most of the people there, and the most practical thing is this conical hat made out of palm tree leaves which protects you from sun and rain.  
And the romantic point is, that all hats have a poem written on it...
