Hà Nội của anh mỗi giờ mỗi vẻ khác nhau nhưng Hà Nội nhất là giờ khuya, Hà Nội mưa rơi, Hà Nội như chính lúc này đây khi mà các đường phố trở nên gần hoang vu, ướt át và cô quanh, lạnh lẽo, đa diết buồn.

Is it ever OK to ask the person seated next to you at the restaurant to chew with their mouth closed?
I appreciated this look at the debate around Quan Kế Huy's identity and the response his Oscar win has gotten thus far in Vietnam.

OK or not OK? Using the hair dryer in the gym locker room to dry off your underarms and crotch after a shower
Taking 2 months to repave a street but leaving the manhole covers sticking up just enough above the pavement to create a fun road hazard!
Burning your trash in the street because although you do have access to a dumpster you just really love fire.
TFW you take your wife and son to a BBQ dinner and in lieu of talking to one another, you just play on your phones for an hour and then go home, leaving half of your meal uneaten.
What I learned from my most popular tweet of 2022 is that people *really* like to hear about other people getting paid.
Going to the gym but just sitting there on the lat pulldown machine with your phone out scrolling Facebook because you're only here so that you don't have to go home and be with your dumb family.
From today's Vietnam Weekly: "Only 1,000 of the 200,000 businesses operating in HCMC have announced that they will pay out a Tet bonus. That figure for Hanoi is about 2%."
Proud to say I just signed off on paying ALL of our Tet bonuses out to staff in full, as we do every year.
VN language Twitter: someone give me an English translation for “ngộ chữ”. For the life of me I can’t think of one. A literal translation would be “to be poisoned by (your) letters/words” but that’s not really what it means.
