My hometown.

 My hometown, where I was born and grew up, is a nice city, called Ha Phong. Hai Phong city is the one of three biggest city in my country, Viet Nam. My city seems to look a island, which is surrounded by a river, called Red River. That is the biggest and longest in Northern of Viet Nam. The land of Northern Viet Nam has been getting fatter by the alluviums of Red River since many years ago. Therefore, Viet Nam has been a country, where exports a lot of rice in the world, after Thailand. If you visit my hometown, you could see many fat farms in the surbus of Hai Phong city, where have been conected with urban area by five bridges. I will never forget the scenery of villages, with the famers, who are working beside the buffaloes or the farming machines very hard on the farms. The rice-fields seem to put a yellow coat over its shoulders in the fall, when the famers can start harvesting rice. In the spring, that colour of that coat starts changing to green because the famers begin to transplant rice seedlings on their farms. Unfornatunely, although the famers in my hometown are working very very hard, so they have been poor, even very poor. But the lives in the urban area are not the same. Most people in that area have had comfortable lives lately because the government changed their economic policy to market economy. There are many new roads, model buildings or big companies were built in my city. Now, you can see many luxury cars on the streets, that I have never seen before. When I was there, I used to drink coffee with my friend in several cafes, where are beside the Big Theatre square, which has a picture of Uncle Ho Chi Minh on its top. Also there are many people work out every early morning in front of Big Theatre square. Some of them run, other people walk or play tennis. All of them have made a vivid life. Although I'm living in Canada, so it seem the life in my city is happening in my mind. You can see that my hometown is truly beautiful. I love this city so much and I hope that one day I can live there one more time.
