Do you like your hometown?
I do not really think about whether I like my hometown or not, because I just think of it as a place to live; it is not really different from other cities that I have lived in for a period of time. But I think to me and maybe to almost everyone, the thing that makes our hometowns so special and different from other places is that it is where we grow up and experience many memories with our families. I spent my childhood to adulthood in my hometown, Buon Ma Thuot city, and my parents and younger sister are currently living there, so it has a special place in my heart.
Do you like living there?
Yes, I do. The streets here are not as crowded as in other major cities that I have been to, the air quality is quite good, and the food is exactly up to my liking. There is not much to complain about.
What do you like (most) about your hometown?
To me, the best thing about living in Buon Ma Thuot is that the food is exactly up to my liking. Although I can find the kind of food here everywhere else, the taste is extremely different; I had paste vermicelli soup and meat bread, which we call bun rieu cua and banh mi thit, in Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh and some other Vietnamese cities, but the tastes were quite strange. They are too oily, meaty, or salty, while in Buon Ma Thuot, they are delicate and tasty.
Is there anything you dislike about it?
What I dislike about living here is that it is quite difficult to order food to home. While I was studying at the university in Ho Chi Minh, I did not know how to ride a motorbike, so I always ordered food online through apps such as Grab Food and Baemin whenever I did not want to cook. But the online food delivery industry in Buon Ma Thuot has just recently started; there are not many restaurants and food outlets that register in such apps, and the choices of food for delivery are quite limited. I still do not know how to drive a motorbike, so it is really bothersome when I do not want to eat homemade food as I have to ask my parents to buy something for me.
