Goodbye, again: Vietnam’s reburials send souls on final journey

January 31, 2019 by vnexpress Leave a Comment

So he can finally segue into the next life. The ceremony is one of Vietnam's most sacred death rituals, an ancient custom usually carried out before the Tet Lunar New Year, which falls in early February this year, as the final act in life's journey. Many Vietnamese, especially in the north, honor their dead with reburials - normally three years after their loved ones are first laid to rest. Modernity is chipping away at the tradition with cremations preferred as a more simple, clean and cheap passage into the afterlife. For Thang's relatives, however, meeting his wishes of a reburial three years after he died of cancer aged 59 was never in question. "Finally, he can rest in his nice new home. I feel so blessed and happy," said his wife Ha Thi Thua from his graveside at a cemetery on the outskirts of Hanoi. The hours-long ceremonies are not for the impatient - or faint of heart. Beginning in the evening, a shaman makes offerings to the spirit guardian and the deceased - in Thang's case, … [Read more...] about Goodbye, again: Vietnam’s reburials send souls on final journey

Cafe culture, colour and caves: an Instagram journey through Vietnam

March 18, 2018 by robert Leave a Comment

Good morning Vietnam: Few cities can match the charm of Hanoi, with its lakes, tree-lined streets, crumbling pagodas and French heritage buildings. And if the streets weren’t vibrant enough already, flower ladies add a colourful touch. Sweet street: Sample all the pho, bánh mì and spring rolls you want – but leave room for dessert. Chè is a sweet soup that comes in many forms but those with fresh fruit, coconut milk and yoghurt are the biggest crowd-pleasers. Paddy power: Ninh Binh, around a 90-minute drive south of Hanoi, offers a welcome respite from the clamorous city streets. Pictured are the Mua Caves, which offer views over the paddy fields below. It’s a steep 500-step climb, though. Hats off to Hoi An: The old centre of Hoi An is painted in golden hues, which makes this little town one of Vietnam’s prettiest. The tourist crowds here are no joke, so get up early if you want the streets to yourself. Cafe society: You’ll be … [Read more...] about Cafe culture, colour and caves: an Instagram journey through Vietnam

A journey through time: Old photos of Tet in Hanoi 90 years ago

February 18, 2018 by robert Leave a Comment

Take a peek into the past to see how the cherished traditional Tet looked like. The Tet rush usually starts a month before the clock strikes Lunar New Year, with people busy shopping, preparing for the homecoming, cleaning and decorating houses, and cooking Tet specialties, and the celebration can last to another month after the official holiday. Yet many are arguing Tet is losing its magic amid the modern fast-paced life, and whether the country should abandon the long-standing festival and its accompanying “exhaustion”, joining the rest of the world to celebrate only the Gregorian New Year instead. Others on the other hand, are trying to revive the flavors of Tet to prove how it has been a sacred, venerable tradition passed on for centuries that should be kept for the next generations. While the debate spirals on, take a look back at the Tet spirit in Hanoi almost a century ago, before the wars, the Subsidy Period and then the modern lifestyle rolled in. … [Read more...] about A journey through time: Old photos of Tet in Hanoi 90 years ago

Vietnam appeals to tourists in many ways, and there’s one way where you can just sit, stare and take in all its beauty: a train journey. The U.K.-based Telegraph recently selected its 10 best train journeys in Asia for 2018, and two of them are in Vietnam.

January 8, 2018 by robert Leave a Comment
