Artistic drawings a way to protect walls from graffiti in Ho Chi Minh City

Many of such walls are in Da Kao Ward, District 1, which are filled with beautiful paintings and flower pots.

The products were jointly created by the People’s Committee, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, and the Youth Union of Da Kao Ward as well as local residents to prevent graffiti, ads stuck on walls, and littering.

With the same purpose, walls of houses on Dien Bien Phu Street in Da Kao Ward have also been blanketed with pictures about protecting wildlife and fighting the hunt for endangered species.

Dang Quoc Bao, head of the southern office of the Vietnam Association of Civil Engineering Environment, whose house’ front is painted beautifully and includes wall planters, said, “The program to plant trees in recycled planters is meaningful and helps eradicate ads plastered on walls, graffiti, and littering.

“Small acts such as planting trees can help improve locals’ awareness of protecting the environment, expanding green spaces, and giving up the habit of littering in public places and canals.”

Thanh Duyen, residing in Alley 159 on Tran Van Dang Street in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, said his house’s front wall was tainted so he hired an artist to draw a picture on it.

Red Vermicelli: Dak Lak’s Delicious Delicacy

Image
Buon Ma Thuot not only has premium coffee with a unique delicious taste, but also many other famous delicacies such as wine, marinated chicken, fragrant rice tubes, and especially the excellent red vermicelli. Red vermicelli is a popular specialty of Dak Lak. Although there are some similarities with vermicelli in the South, the famous red vermicelli in the “capital of coffee” is very different. It has big, firm vermicelli, similar to Southern beef vermicelli but slightly better, about the size of a chopstick, chewy and crispy. Different from sophisticated dishes like pho in Hanoi, vermicelli with fish in Quy Nhon, bun bo Hue, or vermicelli in Can Tho, Ban Me red vermicelli is extremely rustic, strange, and especially delicious. At first glance, red vermicelli is quite similar to crab vermicelli, but this dish is made from pure crab meat, pureed pork and fat, vegetables, bean sprouts, and of course, boiled quail eggs.
