Dawn light over Pu Luong National park, Vietnam

This picture, which I took on one of my trips to Vietnam, also fits into the series "Window in House Wall". Ho Chi Minh City - the former Saigon - offers a myriad of good such photo motifs. I love going on a photo tour in Ho Chi Minh City.

Towards the end of my recent stay in Vietnam, I had to change hotels. While I first lived in my favorite neighborhood Thao Diem, my last hotel was in a rather brittle neighborhood, without shops and hardly any restaurants. The sobriety of the environment is also manifested in this image of a street wall, in front of which only one person passes by (out of the 9 million that HCMC has) and the two chairs and a small table that stand around somewhat unmotivated. However, the minimal furniture is typical for Vietnam. You'll love these miniature chairs! In every local restaurant, the guests sit around on such plastic parts. Of course, this also requires correspondingly small tables.

Visitando el Lago Hoan Kiem en el centro de Hanói un fotógrafo le estaba haciendo fotos a esta chica. Le pregunté si le podía hacer fotos y ella encantada posó para los dos.

A việt kiều is the name for someone who has some Vietnamese background and who decides to come back to Vietnam.

Sometimes, they don't speak vietnamese and sometimes they really have trouble using chopsticks :)

 

This picture is a tribute to my father.

A photo taken at a cafe in Dong Van.

Vietnam has many unique inventions. The dripper in the photo does not need paper as coffee is filtered through pinholes in the metal plate inside. And more importantly, it is very cheap.

 

Coffee cultivation was first introduced to Vietnam in the mid-19th century by the French, but it was the Doi Moi economic reform in the 1980s that spurred private individual farmers to grow coffee as a cash crop, which eventually made it one of Vietnam’s major export products. Vietnam is now the second largest coffee producer in the world only next to Brazil.

 

With the increase of coffee production, Vietnam developed its own coffee culture.

The taste of Vietnamese coffee is similar to, but different from, French coffee and now has its own right thanks to the dripper and a distinctive roasting techniques.

Cafes are everywhere like in France, but the difference is that the stools are often very low. Someone said that the price of a cup of coffee in Vietnam is in proportion to the height of stool in the cafe. I mean, low stool cafes are cheaper.

A very beautiful sight was in front of me from the terrace of my hotel.

Douc (pronounced “dook”), is a Vietnamese word of ancient origin, thought to mean ‘monkey’. Though a bit of a misnomer as they are monkeys, not apes, douc langurs are popularly known as ‘costumed apes’ because of their extravagantly-coloured coats, bearing red, black, white, grey and gold highlights. Juveniles have a lighter body colouration than adults and a darker-coloured face. Their coat colour darkens as they grow older, as their face colour lightens

Vietnamese fisherman with his large net on the Perfume River in Hue, Vietnam.

This gentleman approached me and started speaking german. Having lived in Germany for a few years I picked up a little bit of the language but retained very little. He was very patient and pleasant as I found the majority of the vietnamese people I encountered.

Hi guys, I would like to introduce my latest MOC. Vietnamese fishing boat which was sunk by Chinese patrol boat last month. My effort to pay tribute to the crews and let communities around the world know China's cruel act in order to claim control of the southeast Asia region. This MOC is my attempt to try out some unorthodox techniques to achieve compound curves on the boat hull.

''...un pomeriggio entrò un tedesco nel raggio ed elencò 605 nomi: eravamo uno dei tanti trasporti che partivano dall'Italia. Era la deportazione a cui non avevamo creduto fino all'ultimo momento: la gente diceva non è possibile che mandino degli italiani fuori dal paese. Mi ricordo una lunga fila che usciva dal carcere con le nostre poche cose, urlavano parole d’incoraggiamento: Dio vi benedica, Non avete fatto niente di male. Furono straordinari gli altri detenuti comuni che ci vedevano dalle loro celle e ci lanciavano arance, biscotti, guanti, di tutto, e noi uscimmo dal carcere con questo grande scoppio, bagno di umanità, furono gli ultimi uomini… poi incontrammo solo mostri. Saranno stati anche ladri e assassini, ma erano uomini che hanno provato pietà per noi.

 

Portati alla stazione centrale, nei sotterranei erano preparati dei vagoni: a calci e pugni fummo caricati dalle SS e dai loro servi. Come si sta dentro un vagone? Il viaggio è un momento importantissimo chiave della prigionia; il viaggio durò una settimana; eravamo sprangati dentro un vagone dove non c’era niente, con un secchio per i nostri bisogni, che ben presto si riempì; non c’era luce, non c’era acqua, c’eravamo solo noi con la nostra umanità dolente. Io, insieme agli altri, vissi tre fasi: la fase del pianto; la seconda fase, quella surreale: gli uomini pii si riunivano al centro del vagone, pregavano e lodavano Dio; era un momento di tensione fortissima che ci teneva uniti, mentre altri uomini ci portavano a morire. La terza fase è quella del silenzio: persone coscienti che andavano a morire; noi lo sentivamo che sarebbe stato così. Non c’era più niente da dire. Gli occhi che comunicavano al vicino: “Sono qui con te, ti voglio bene!”, ma non c’era più niente da dire, non c’era più bisogno di parlare.

Furono gli ultimi miei giorni con mio padre, e devo dire che la fase del silenzio è quella che è stata di massima trasmissione tra noi; poi a questo silenzio così importante, c’è quel rumore osceno e assordante degli assassini intorno a noi, quando arrivati a quella stazione preparata per noi, dai nostri assassini, già da anni, Birkenau-Auschwitz: la porta si aprì e con grande violenza fummo tirati fuori tutti...''
