Lenin and Hiragana

Very few cities in the world still keep a statue of Lenin, but in Hanoi, he is still standing, proud, overlooking a small park where the coolest boys go skating in the afternoon, but where school boys play football during lunch break. He is not too far from Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum and on the other side of the road is the Hanoi Tower with its large flag. He should feel rather confortalbe, although there is also a Highlands Coffee.

The autumn is finally here, with wonderful, cool days, perfect for a coffee in the sun. So, that's where I went this morning, to do some hiragana studying. I think I managed to memorize su (す) and ni (に)!
