Ha Noi in winter has a special charm. In the morning, it is foggy, very cold, then the sun rises slowly around noon. It embraces the landscape in its warm and generous light. Not quite out of its nocturnal dream, the capital begins its day with an unbearable slowness and lightness. Indeed, people are working out in the streets. Some old people are already sitting in front of their houses, their thoughts bathed in the foam of memories.

The rustle of the street vendor’s carts, the delicious smell of Pho soup inviting passengers to sit in a small restaurant on the corner. Huddled in scarves and warm clothes, the locals savor the appetite of the cold, the shivering and the need to be warmed by affection, tenderness and sharing.

These are the things to do in winter, when Hanoi dancing to the slow waltz in the middle of the cold season, the time of the “little kiss, like a crazy spider” as Rimbaud said in his poem “Dreamed for the winter”.
