My Life in Hanoi I have lived in Hanoi for three year since I was a freshman at university. The city’s life is so different from one in rural. Before I moved to Hanoi, I have lived in rural for 17 years with my family. The rural’s life is so serene with gentle breeze, charming meadow and pleasant people. Since I started a city life, it has been a shock, I could not cross the road myself. Hanoi is animated place with high living standard. If you want to buy something, you must consider the price carefully or you will buy it with high price and I am not a good bargainer. People in Hanoi get high salary than in rural, but they are under a lot of pressure, such as working deadline, accommodation rent, food price…On average, I need 3 million VND per month to cover my life. I feel life here is quite tiring with work and often stressful.  In the morning, traffic congestion is always in make people feel tired to get to their destination. In summer, the temperature rising from 33- 36 Celsius degree together with populated air caused by car emission. During that time, going out seems to be extremely difficult. On the other hand, living in Hanoi also has many advantages. In city, there are also a lot of entertainement center, people can go to there to relax after working, studing hard Ha Noi is famous for it is landmarks such as many skyscrapers, Ba Dinh Square – Uncle Ho’s mausoleum, the old town or the big church. It is also well-known for delicious food, of course! I like walking around the old quarters in Hanoi, drinking coffee or drinking beer on Ta Hien every weekend with friends, it is quite interesting. If I had a choice, I would go home to live with my family. But life does not have many options, so I will try to accomplish the goal set since I arrived in Hanoi.
