Thôi thì cũng đành quen với cái kiểu thất thường cuả các bác "nghệ".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anh Jamie biết tôi đi một mình nên hứa sẽ đi cùng tôi chụp ảnh chú Quân và giúp tôi với chiếc máy ảnh nếu có vấn đề gì. Thật tuyệt khi có hai người vì ngoài việc một người có thể chú tâm hoàn toàn vào những cuộc trò chuyện sâu sắc với các nhân vật thì người kia có thể bắt được những khoảnh khắc rất tự nhiên mà họ không để ý tới. (Hay có lẽ chỉ là kinh nghiệm cuả tôi sau hôm làm việc cùng anh Hoằng)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ngày hôm sau, chúng tôi hẹn chú ở trường và đó là một trong những ngày mưa âm u và thời tiết xấu vô cùng. Chúng tôi ngồi nói chuyện ở quán nước chè nơi chú hay ngồi nhưng không được đón tiếp nồng nhiệt lắm khi cô bán hàng thấy "máy ảnh" và "phỏng vấn". Chuyển sang một quán khác, mọi việc có vẻ khá hơn khi tất cả mọi người xung quanh đều rất vui vẻ và thân thiện. Chúng tôi trò chuyện một lúc và dần thì chú cũng cảm thấy tự nhiên hơn với sự xuất hiện cuả chiếc máy ảnh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dù cho đến gần cuối buổi cái máy ảnh cuả tôi bỗng dưng dở chứng nhưng anh Jamie đã có những bức ảnh rất thú vị. Cuối tuần này chúng tôi sẽ gặp lại chú Quân trong một buổi làm mẫu vẽ cuả chú. Có lẽ sẽ có nhiều điều bất ngờ, lần này thì tôi phải chuẩn bị máy móc kĩ hơn và mong là trời không mưa.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-5223945585840784765?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/5223945585840784765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=5223945585840784765' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/5223945585840784765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/5223945585840784765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2009/03/nguoi-ban-ong-hanh-moi-mua-va-may-anh.html' title='Người Bạn Đồng Hành Mới, Mưa và Máy ảnh/ The New Partner, Rain and the Camera'/><author><name>Tuong Linh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06555563537012380066</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-8908403905382019814</id><published>2009-03-03T03:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-03T03:33:00.738-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Family'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hạnh Đỗ'/><title type='text'>Phúc Dice</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/Phuc1-754377.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/Phuc1-754217.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Phúc trẻ. Kề cận 9x nhưng cách nói năng già như đầu 8x.  Trông Phúc sành điệu, giống các người mẫu nam hơn là một chủ quán cà phê. Quán Dice này, Phúc mua được từ một ông chủ Hàn Quốc, rồi lại phát triển nó thêm một cái nữa. Đây là quán cà phê – trò chơi Hàn Quốc duy nhất ở Hà Nội, khách chủ yếu là teens.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phúc pha chế đồ uống rất sành. Đấy là kết quả của thời gian giúp việc ở Dice. Biết cả trông xe, rửa cốc chén, làm sổ sách kế toán dù chưa tốt nghiệp đại học.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nhà Phúc có hai anh em trai. Phúc là em nhưng lo cho anh từng tí. Sợ anh "kém thế" với bạn gái dành dụm tiền mua cho anh LX để đi, còn mình vẫn tà tà chạy con xe chưa đầy hai chục triệu.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ngồi ba tiếng đồng hồ Phúc nói không nghỉ. Chuyển hết từ chuyện nọ sang chuyện kia. Dắt xe ra về hỏi: giờ em có đến Dice không? Không, em đi spa!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phúc rất ý thức về vẻ bề ngoài của mình. Khi anh Quang đến chụp ảnh “thằng bé” đã tự đưa ra một danh sách những việc, những nơi sẽ đi, còn bảo Quang: anh cứ theo em! Không phải sao mà nghiễm nhiên có một tay máy tò tò đi theo chẳng trách cậu chàng nhầm tưởng. Khi Quang cho xem lại những hình ảnh đã chụp trong ngày Phúc có vẻ “hẫng” vì “anh chụp em chẳng giống sao gì cả”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phúc dặn: bất cứ khi nào buồn chị cũng có thể ghé quán em. Cà phê Dice là quán đặc biệt nhất ở Hà Nội vì ở đây có đủ các trò chơi để tiêu khiển. Hoặc lúc nào phải chờ đợi điều gì đó, chị chỉ cần chơi vài ván xúc xắc là đã hết ngày rồi! Không biết lúc nói câu ấy nó có nghĩ chị nó đã qua tuổi teens đến hai mấy mùa hoa rồi không?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-8908403905382019814?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/8908403905382019814/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=8908403905382019814' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/8908403905382019814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/8908403905382019814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2009/03/phuc-dice.html' title='Phúc Dice'/><author><name>D J Clark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02159361001766180861</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-7603479073813022212</id><published>2009-02-26T00:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-06T07:35:48.285-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tuong Linh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Art School'/><title type='text'>tiến lên nào.../moving forward...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DSC_0037-782549.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DSC_0037-782535.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tôi mất nhiều thời gian để gặp được anh Hoằng hơn mong đợi, nhưng câu chuyện về một người rất thực tế này có lẽ sẽ thật hoàn hảo cho toàn bộ những câu chuyện xoay quanh trường mỹ thuật.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoằng, như anh luôn tự nhận mình chỉ là một người rất bình thường và đôi lúc từ chối tất cả những cách người ta hay gọi anh như "nghệ sĩ" hay "dân nghệ". Có lẽ đó cũng là một phần lý do tôi cho rằng câu chuyện cuả anh thú vị một cách hết sức giản dị.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anh vẫn làm việc rất chăm chú khi tôi tới. (trong khi đó ở căn phòng bên, một vài người bạn của anh đang chơi bài và nói đuà về nhiều chuyện trong cuộc sống việc này cũng khá thường xuyên đặc biệt là sau Tết ở Việt Nam khi người Việt luôn quan niệm tháng Riêng là tháng ăn chơi). Ngôi nhà nhỏ của anh cũng khá ấm cúng với những bức tranh sơn mài khắp nhà.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoằng cũng chơi nhạc cụ dân tộc như một sở thích - đặc biệt anh chơi đàn đáy trong nhóm nhạc hát Ca Trù. Hôm nay tôi sẽ tới xem một trong những buổi tập của nhóm anh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes me longer to approach Hoằng than I first expected, but the story of this down-to-earth man would fit perfectly to the whole stories of the art school. Hoằng, as he refered himself to be just an ordinary man and refuses all the "tittles" such as "artist" or "being artistic".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was still working very deligently when I arrived (next room some of his friends were playing cards and joking about life and stuffs as men always do in VN esp after Tet holidays, coz for them Tet lasts for months). It was interesting to see his little house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoằng also plays traditional instrument - đàn đáy so today I'm going to see Ca Trù - a Vietnamese Traditional music with him and hope can capture some of these moments.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-7603479073813022212?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/7603479073813022212/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=7603479073813022212' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/7603479073813022212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/7603479073813022212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2009/02/moving-forward.html' title='tiến lên nào.../moving forward...'/><author><name>Tuong Linh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06555563537012380066</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-5081665322124173383</id><published>2009-02-06T00:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-06T01:08:13.957-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ngủ trọ'/><title type='text'>Chuyện về ông Tiến "bụi", kẻ vô gia cư 19 năm đi ngủ trọ!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/tienbui3-718507.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/tienbui3-718308.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/tienbui2-789785.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/tienbui2-789570.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/tienbui-753110.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/tienbui-752850.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cách đây 3 năm, trong khi đi viết bài về những sân cờ giang hồ, tôi vô tình gặp một nhân vật thường trực sống quanh các bàn cờ vỉa hè tên là ông Tiến "Bụi". Ông ta sinh năm 1945, có nhà ở Hà Nội, sinh đúng vào năm đói.  Năm 1971 đi kinh tế mới không chịu được nhiệt, nên bỏ về Hà Nội thì đã mất nhà cửa. Vợ con ông ta cũng không có, hoàn toàn tay trắng. Ông ta sống bằng cách đi đánh cờ ăn tiền, đêm thì về ngủ trọ ở những căn nhà trọ cực kỳ rẻ tiền trên phố Phúc Tân, chuyên để cho dân bán hàng rong thuê. Năm 2006, ông Tiến đã ngủ trọ được 16 năm. Bây giờ là 19 năm. Tôi đã kể chuyện về nhân vật này, và đang tìm gặp ông ta để viết lại câu chuyện. Hôm đầu tiên gặp lại, ông ta bảo, sau khi anh viết bài, bà chủ nhà đọc được, suýt nữa thì đuổi tôi ra khỏi nhà, phải nói mãi mới thôi. Đó là cuộc đời một người nghèo Hà Nội, chứng kiến gần hết sự đổi thay trong vòng 20 năm nay ở Hà Nội, dưới con mắt nhìn từ đáy xã hội.&lt;br /&gt;Đây là bài viết của tôi 3 năm trước, post lại các bạn đọc cho vui&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;7h30 tối, tôi hẹn ông Tiến "bụi" ở chân cầu Chương Dương rồi đi bộ về. Trên đường về rẽ vào quán cơm bụi số 32 Bảo Linh. Theo lời ông Tiến thì đây là quán cơm "sạch sẽ" nhất ở đây. Quán này đông khách, vậy mà đồ ăn không làm sẵn nhiều trước, mà xào nấu từng ít một (cho nóng). Chủ quán để bát đầy ớt chỉ thiên cả quả không cắt trên từng bàn ăn. Người lao động, sau một ngày bươn chải, đúng là cần thức nóng và cái gì đó cay xè, cho dễ ăn... &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Đi dọc phố Phúc Tân,&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;phố buổi tối ồn ào, trẻ con chơi đầy đường. Ngồi uống nước ở quán nước gần chỗ trọ, ông Tiến bảo tôi ngồi chờ chút rồi biến đâu mất. Tôi nhìn vào một nhà bên kia đường thấy quang gánh hàng rong của người ở trọ chẩt đầy nhà. Có một thanh niên xăm đầy mình bế con ngồi cạnh, tôi đùa với đứa trẻ, người bố mặt vẫn lạnh tanh. Lát sau ông Tiến lò dò đi về, hóa ra đi mua khăn mặt cho tôi, ông bảo, cái thằng bế con ấy nó vừa ở tù ra đấy...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Căn nhà số 70 Phúc Tân, nơi ông Tiến ở hai năm nay nằm ngã ba sát đường cuối phố, đi dăm bước nữa là ra đến bờ sông. Người ta từng xuống đây quay phim "Cảnh sát hình sự" những trường đoạn về cảnh "xóm bụi", tội phạm ẩn náu... Các "ông" nhiếp ảnh cũng hay xuống đây chụp cảnh sống nghèo ở bờ sông rất nhiều...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;"Hotel 3000"&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;của ông Tiến chỉ rộng gần&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;40m2, cơi nới xây chồng lên lung tung, vậy mà chứa được... gần 50 người (kể cả gia đình chủ nhà). Phòng "đại sảnh" chung ở tầng hai, rộng khoảng 20 m2, là phòng cả nam và nữ độc thân ngủ.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Đi lên phòng này phải đi qua cầu thang xoắn ốc rất hẹp, chân cầu thang để than tổ ong cho các gia đình nấu nướng. Cạnh cầu thang là phòng tắm kiêm nhà vệ sinh nam che bằng tấm bạt, trong có thùng phi to nước và 2 cái chậu, bốc mùi khai mù. Tầng ba là phòng chủ nhà. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Bước lên cầu thang, tôi ngó sang buồn đối diện thì thấy một chị đang ngồi ăn cơm trong một cái túi ni - lon bỏ vào bát (ăn xong gói túi lại vứt đi, bát vẫn sạch không phải rửa). Ông Tiến bảo mấy ngách đó là cả hộ gia đình hai vợ chồng ở (thuê giá 1 tháng/200.000đ). Có tất cả 6 hộ gia đình như vậy. Có hộ chỉ có 2 vợ chồng, có hộ 3, 4 người gồm đủ vợ chồng con cái... Mấy gia đình sống bằng nghề bán hoa quả rong, ở đây làm một tháng bằng ở nhà làm ruộng cả năm. Đất ruộng ở nhà cho thuê hết, đến mùa họ về thu hoạch vài ngày rồi lại kéo cả nhà ra đây.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Khi tôi vào, mấy thanh niên trẻ khoảng 19 - 20 tuổi đang ngồi, nằm đọc sách, hoặc xem ti vi dưới ánh đèn huỳnh quang tôi tối. Mấy thanh niên này mỗi người làm mỗi việc, nhưng tựu chung chỉ có 2 nghề, chạy xe ôm và&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;đi trông cửa hàng. Cái ti vi 14ins (nối truyền hình cáp hẳn hoi) treo trên tường để cả dưới phòng và trên xép đều xem được. Một ông xe ôm trung niên đang ngủ còng queo li bì, tay thọc vào quần... Tất cả đàn ông đều mặc quần áo dài, (ráng chừng ngại vì cánh đàn bà đi qua đi lại ngay trước mặt) trừ một cậu đen trũi cởi trần mặc soọc lửng (hỏi chuyện tôi biết cậu ta tên là Kiên, quê Hưng Yên, chạy xe ôm). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Trong phòng&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;này hiện có 15 người ngủ thường xuyên. Mười nam ngủ trên một tấm phản và hai cái giường kê liền nhau. Tầng dưới có hai cái quat cây, một cái trông như cái quạt lò rèn đầy bụi. Gác xép của nữ ở trên , cầu thang trèo lên gác xép nằm ở chân phản của cánh đàn ông. Mái nhà proximang trên vì kèo gỗ, cánh đàn bà trên xép treo túi đồ lên kèo. Quần áo mắc lung tung trên tường, phòng có cả hai cửa sổ&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;nhưng... không có chấn song, rất thoáng. Mỗi người ở lâu có một hòm tôn để đồ dựng ở chân tường. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Gác xép có 5 người, hai chị bán quần áo rong tên là Thu, Lan. Một cô học nghề, nửa buổi đi bán hàng tên là Thắm. Còn hai chị nữa cũng đi bán hoa quả tối muộn mới về.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Ông Tiến bảo tôi đi rửa mặt rồi chui vào nằm ở cái giường giữa, bên cạnh gã xe ôm đang ngủ vùi. Ti vi đang chiếu phim "Thất kiếm hạ Thiên Sơn" dở dang thì bị quảng cáo ngắt ngang, Kiên than: &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;"Đang hay thì đứt dây đàn, anh đang buồn (ị) thì nàng đến chơi..."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Tôi và ông Tiến nằm khoèo nói chuyện, cánh thanh niên giường bên thì rủ nhau đánh tá lả. Ông Tiến bảo: Cuộc sống ở đây nó đơn giản như thế, hôm nào mưa tao ngủ ở nhà cả ngày. Tôi hỏi: ở đây có hay mất mát gì không? Không, toàn người đi làm cả ngày, có gì mà mất, quần áo thì tệ, ai lấy làm gì. Như tao đây có mỗi hai bộ. À, hồi mùa đông, có thằng tham, trước khi về quê lấy đôi giầy của người bên cạnh là cùng! - Hôm nay cháu ngủ ở đây có phải lên báo với nhà chủ không? Có, vừa lên nói là thằng cháu nó qua chơi. -&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Công an hộ khẩu có hay kiểm tra không? Ít lắm, người ta cũng nắm hết, nhưng toàn người lao động có gì đâu Cả phố này họ đều sống bằng nghề cho thuê trọ. Tao ở đây qua mấy đời công an hộ khẩu rồi đấy. - Thế chú trả tiền nhà theo từng đêm hay cả tháng? Cứ có tiền là trả, hồi trước 3000/đêm, mới tăng lên 3500, tao ngủ một tháng hết 105.000đ, nhưng đang nợ hai tháng nay chưa trả...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Chuyện vãn một lúc đã hơn 11h, mọi người lục tục về đủ, cánh phụ nữ tắm giặt xong đi qua giường lũ đàn ông rồi trèo lên xép ngủ, đám tá lả giải tán rồi gà gật ngủ. Chỉ còn Kiên vẫn thủ cái remote trong tay. Hắn không đọc được tiếng Anh ở những kênh nước ngoài, chỉ nhìn hình, thỉnh thoảng lại đổi kênh xem, đèn tắt... &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Tôi để nguyên quần áo, nằm giữa ông Tiến bụi và gã xe ôm ngủ từ tối, lạ phòng nên mãi mới thiếp đi được. Nửa đêm tôi giật mình thức giấc vì gã xe ôm nằm cạnh cứ lấy chân cặp cặp, tôi đạp chân gã ra rồi ngồi dậy. Có một dòng ánh sáng vắt qua cả đám chục người đàn ông đang nằm ngủ úp thìa như cá khô chẳng cần mắc màn. Tôi cứ tưởng ánh trăng, ngó ra ngoài cửa sổ mới hay... ánh đèn cao áp. Tôi bật cười nghĩ rằng nếu gọi cái lều thủng mái ở nơi đồng không mông quạnh là &lt;b style=""&gt;"khách sạn ngàn sao&lt;/b&gt;", thì có thể gọi cái phòng trọ này là &lt;b style=""&gt;"khách sạn cao áp"&lt;/b&gt; rất được! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Tôi bò hẳn dậy đi xuống cầu thang ngó nghiêng . Không phòng nào đóng cửa, kể cả nhà chủ. Lúc&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;tối, hai mẹ con chủ nhà cãi nhau cái gì đó ầm sang cả các phòng bên. Thằng con nói: &lt;i style=""&gt;Nhà mình là người lao động, xuất thân 3 đời ăn bát mẻ, mẹ đừng có.&lt;/i&gt;.. Bà mẹ quát lại: &lt;i style=""&gt;Mày có im đi không, mày muốn cả cái nhà trọ này nó biết à&lt;/i&gt;. Quát thế nhưng cũng chẳng cần hạ giọng!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Trước các phòng gia đình chỉ ngăn bằng tấm rèm. Tất cả những người ở trọ đều ngủ mê mệt sau một ngày bủa đi lao động khắp Hà Nội...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Ông Tiến sinh năm 1945, ngày xưa nhà ông ở số 10 Phùng Hưng. Năm 1971, ông 26 tuổi làm xây dựng ngoài Quảng Ninh. Năm 1977, ông lên sao chè ở nông trường chè trên Phố Lu - (Lao Cai). Ở đó ông lấy vợ, nhưng chưa kịp có con. Cuối những năm 80 nông trường giải thể, ông bỏ vợ về Hà Nội với hai bàn tay trắng, "&lt;i style=""&gt;đời lại về mo&lt;/i&gt;" !&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Về Hà Nội, ông kiếm sống bằng nghề đánh cờ bụi, và &lt;i style=""&gt;đóng đô&lt;/i&gt; ở Phúc Tân. Chỗ ông Tiến ở bây giờ là ngay cạnh sân vận động Long Biên, ngày xưa đây là trường bắn . Lúc đó xung quanh toàn là vườn, bãi, ao hồ. Năm 1990, chợ Long Biên chưa có, dân nhặt rác, đánh giầy cắm lều ở bờ sống chân cầu. Khoảng năm 94, 95 xây chợ, thành phố hút cát khơi lòng sông đổ lên bãi, và dân đổ ra xây dựng ào ạt. Người có nhà ở đây hầu hết vốn ở trong phố, một số &lt;i style=""&gt;nhảy dù&lt;/i&gt;, một số bán nhà đi chia cho con cái hoặc lấy vốn làm ăn nên ra đây, bây giờ kín đặc. Một loạt phường Nghĩa Dũng, Phúc Xá, Phúc Tân, Chương Dương, Bạch Đằng trở nên cực kỳ đông đúc. Người lao động nghèo ở tứ trấn đổ ra Hà Nội, làm xe ôm, bán báo, đánh giầy, hàng rong, xổ số, bán hoa quả rau dưa, chạy bàn quán bia... đủ cả! Cả loạt phố bãi phát triển dịch vụ cho thuê trọ giá rẻ... Những người thành phố nghèo nữa không có đất thì xuống sông làm một cái &lt;i style=""&gt;nhà phao&lt;/i&gt; bằng thùng phi giá 1 -2 triệu, &lt;i style=""&gt;nước lên nhà lên, nước xuống nhà theo&lt;/i&gt;, cứ dập dềnh như thế!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;8h sáng, gần như ngày nào ông Tiến cũng "trình diện" ở quán cờ 33 Ngõ Trạm, ở đây ông được chơi "miễn phí" tiền bàn. Chiều ông lang thang ở sân cờ bệnh viện Việt Xô, tối ra Bờ Hồ hóng mát rồi về nhà... ăn cháo! (vì ông đau dạ dày mấy năm nay)!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Trước đây, ông Tiến từng ở hơn 10 năm ở căn nhà đối diện số 70. Hồi đó giá ngủ một đêm chỉ 2000đ. Căn nhà này có cây ổi trước sân, hai vợ chồng nhà chủ rất tốt tên là ông Sỹ, bà Lừ. Nhưng khổ nỗi bà vợ mù lòa, ông chồng câm điếc. Vậy mà hai ông bà đẻ ra ba người con trai rất đẹp trai khỏe mạnh. Ông Tiến ở nhà đó, thân như người nhà. Lớn lên, ông bà chủ&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;bán đi một phần trong số hơn 100m đất, rồi chia tiền cho con. Rồi tội vạ sinh ra, cậu út mắc nghiện chết năm 24 tuổi. Cậu cả bán heroin đi tù 7 năm, còn lại cậu hai ở với mẹ sau khi ông bố mất. Thỉnh thoảng vợ cậu cả đi thăm chồng ở tù lại sang nhờ ông Tiến trông nhà vài ngày. Mỗi năm, nước lên khoảng&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;1 tuần, ngập đến lưng tầng một cả phố, ông Tiến đi thuyền về, trèo lên tầng hai ngủ. Ngày Tết, người trọ về quê hết, một mình ông một nhà trọ tự nhiên rộng thênh thang mấy ngày...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Sáng hôm sau dậy, đi uống nước, tôi đùa ông Tiến, bảo rằng chú nên chơi sổ xố đi, biết đâu được 500 triệu, mua căn nhà nhỏ, còn lại gửi tiết kiệm tiêu. Ông Tiến cười rất hóm bảo, thế cũng hay đấy, nhưng chỉ là mơ ước hão huyền thôi. Nếu tao có tiền bây giờ, sẽ mua một cái &lt;i style=""&gt;nhà phao&lt;/i&gt;, chỉ hơn triệu một cái, đóng mới thì khoảng 3 triệu. Để khi mình ốm đau, thì không phải phiền ai, giả sử mình có chết đi chăng nữa, thì cũng thanh thản. Bây giờ mình ở nhà trọ, ốm người ta ngại lắm....&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;Dừng lại một chút, ông nói tiếp, nói như một triết nhân: "Mình là &lt;i style=""&gt;con giời cháu Phật&lt;/i&gt;, chẳng cần gì nữa, vợ con không có, mèo chó cũng không. Chỉ muốn sống được ngày nào hay ngày ấy, để nhìn&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style=""&gt;tầm vóc xã hội&lt;/i&gt;, bây giờ người ta khá giả lên nhiều. Phận mình nghèo thì vẫn chịu thế. Nhưng mình ở đâu người ta cũng tin mình, là được..."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:13;"&gt;ảnh: 1.

She had set up the day with an artist who had recently returned from studying in Italy. I had met her at the exhibition opening we went to with Son a few weeks ago and something just was not right. Everything &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Linh&lt;/span&gt; told me about her did not fit a normal story and there was something wrong about following her with a camera in the same way as the other stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035987-730290.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035987-730286.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have a new idea" I announced once I finally found &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Lihn&lt;/span&gt; outside the apartment. "This needs to look like and installation" I went on. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Linh&lt;/span&gt; agreed and we set about the apartment taking pictures of the small details. I had seen a recent Andy &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Warhol&lt;/span&gt; exhibit in Scotland within which was this series of videos of people just looking into a video camera. "I want her to talk, just talk about Hanoi, her art, about life",  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Linh&lt;/span&gt; (the other one &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt; is &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035996-753733.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035996-753728.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the subject) agreed but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;said&lt;/span&gt; she only had an hour and she also had to eat. We talked anxiously as she prepared food and ate. I was worried about time, but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;knew&lt;/span&gt; I could come back. We snapped into action and began working, it was simple but neither &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Linh&lt;/span&gt; or I had any idea whether this was going to work. I kept saying to myself, sometimes the simplest ideas work best.

Born during the war he had lost his father at the age of three and then later when he was just thirteen he was sent to a military training camp. His father was Cambodian and mother Vietnamese but &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Hoang&lt;/span&gt; was clear about his &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;nationality&lt;/span&gt;. "I am a human" he told me, "simply a human".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After years as a soldier, then a refugee and then finally returning to Vietnam it seemed &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Hoang&lt;/span&gt; was finally happy. He had taken up art and was advised to use his life &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;experience&lt;/span&gt; to influence his work. After 20 years since leaving Cambodia as a refugee he returned to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;participate&lt;/span&gt; in a large scale group exhibition with other artists who were dealing with their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;experiences&lt;/span&gt; under Pol Pot. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Hoang&lt;/span&gt; however showed no bitterness to his life. Now happily &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;married&lt;/span&gt; with a four year old daughter he was now settled. Settled with his family as well as with his occupation. It was an interesting day which once again &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Linh&lt;/span&gt; had set up perfectly. Through &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Hoang&lt;/span&gt; we were exploring the past and linking it to now, to me we were re-imaging Hanoi.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-1208668760098363970?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/1208668760098363970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=1208668760098363970' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/1208668760098363970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/1208668760098363970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2008/12/memories.html' title='Memories'/><author><name>D J Clark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02159361001766180861</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-1522113688628753079</id><published>2008-12-14T03:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T21:43:30.790-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lenin Park'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hazel Thompson'/><title type='text'>Little Trang</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_0008-731628.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_0008-731609.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On the way to the park today, Thanh showed me an article that he had written for Dep magazine.

We realized how lucky we had been in finding the first three people.  all of them, the hip hop dancer, the tailor and the saleman had all been so open and allowing access into their lives. Thanh and I wanted to to the story of one of the women selling food and drink in the park.  They were all quite nervous as they do not have a licence to sell goods, but there was one women who was very chatty and she agreed to let us follow her one lunchtime.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_2137-729776.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;As we started to work with her though, she suddenly demanded money to tell her story.  When we told her we were not paying people, just documenting real lives, she then refused to let us work with her.  &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So frustrated after two days lost, Thanh and I returned to the park.

The 3 floor house is located in a small alley that leads up to another (wider) alley. Ngõ, ngách - that's typical of Hanoi. The back of her house is right behind the school, but she has to go round to get there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chi's room seems to be the nicest one in the house, bright and pink. She lives with her grandma and grandad, her family lives in Berlin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lenin park is far from her house. Sometimes her dad (when he is visiting) drops her there, sometimes Tiep picks her up, but Chi often drives her bike to the park to dance. When Tiep comes, he can't be at her house, but has to wait in the main street. He looks just too hip hop to her neighbours' tastes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-862642472831114731?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/862642472831114731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=862642472831114731' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/862642472831114731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/862642472831114731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2008/12/in-mirror.html' title='In the mirror'/><author><name>Thành</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03536680222368095558</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-1116684946306859425</id><published>2008-12-10T19:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T20:00:56.244-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Park'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thanh Nguyen'/><title type='text'>Hoc sinh gioi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DSC01000s-768468.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DSC01000s-768464.JPG" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On last Friday we followed Mr Xuyen to his grandson's school. It was a long walk though the streets of Hanoi Old Quarter. Mr Xuyen said that the young 8 yr old boy is a "hoc sinh gioi" (very good student). Thien likes books very much. He is quite shy. He only started speaking to us a bit of English when we left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The traffic was horrible. We constantly crashed into motobikes (and people as well).

Where? Perhaps it was not in the street and not in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We started last week by going to the Lenin plaza at 6 am. The place was still dark at that time, but then the light came on, it was so beautiful. We chatted with people who come here almost every morning to play badminton. Some has been doing it for 20 years now. Then we followed a man - he used to work as a tailor to his home. There's a tailor shop there, not his own, but he sometimes helps them on cutting men's suits. We ate "pho" for breakfast with him twice. He actually gave Hazel a pink bicycle to use when she is here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DSC00914s-753306.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DSC00914s-753255.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should get a picture of us driving on our bikes though the streets of Hanoi.

Hip hop dancer and student, 15 yr old Chi and Badminton player and Tailor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We met Chi after school at her home as she did he homework.  We also got to meet her father who was over from Berlin.  We keep finding out new things about Chi...yesterday we found out her family lives in Berlin, while she remains in Hanoi with her grandparents, so to study.  Both Thanh and I were impressed by her maturity and felt it gave understanding to her independent attitude in someone her age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also met the tailor at his home to and went with him as he collected his grandson from school. A routine he does every friday. We walked right across the old  town to get to the school. Weaving through schools traffic and wandering tourists.&lt;br /&gt;It was lovely to spend more time with him.  He has such a pleasent temprement and radiates a natural joy for life.  While I was at the shop, I got my 1st fitting for a touser suite that I decided to order from his shop.  I wanted to make the  most of his skill as a tailor and I have always found it hard with my height to find well fitting suites in high street shops.

We both felt drawn to the badminton...for me it was seeing quite old individuals play with such passion and flexibilty.  We learned that the club meet there every morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We met this lovely old man, who wore a waistcoat when he played....we started chatting with him, then ended up following home.  We had a wonderful morning meeting his wife, chatting about his life and drinking herbal tea. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So on Monday we returned at dawn and followed him through his day....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He is tailor and lives behind a tailor shop.  We watched him cut out a suite from material.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was amazing to watch, such skill.  He did it by eye. While watching him drawing out the chalk lines, I couldn't help but see a visual similarity to the Badminton court lines.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-2008507527280560201?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/2008507527280560201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=2008507527280560201' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/2008507527280560201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/2008507527280560201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2008/12/finding-characters-in-park.html' title='Finding characters in the Park'/><author><name>Hazel Thompson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04555726202294690001</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-7839175766006799994</id><published>2008-11-29T02:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-29T04:25:57.492-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Team C'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Re-Image Hanoi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Na Son'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Uyen Ly'/><title type='text'>Cơn ác mộng của một người mẫu - a model's nightmare</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_5964-p-768094.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 209px; height: 320px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_5964-p-768088.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U.Lee tưởng tượng ra câu chuyện ngăn ngắn này từ chuyện thật của Vân "dẹo" (Phi Thanh Vân) tận tối hôm trước. Thực ra trước đó nàng có một kịch bản khác, câu chuyện khác với 1 nhân vật làm osin chuyên dọn dẹp cho studio của 1 nhiếp ảnh gia (nói đến đây mới nhớ cái chị dọn studio cả tuần này chả thấy đâu, bừa bộn quá thể!). Kịch bản mới của U.Lee tốn nhiều diễn viên quá. Đến tận khuya mới huy động được đủ hết:&lt;br /&gt;- Đàm Vũ (salesman) trong vai nhiếp ảnh gia&lt;br /&gt;- Ngọc Đại (makeup artist) trong vai Ngươì quản lý ngươì mẫu&lt;br /&gt;- Hà Angie trong vai nhân vật chính&lt;br /&gt;- Lee Poland (người mẫu teen, ca sỹ) trong vai cô ngươì mẫu trẻ&lt;br /&gt;- Huyền, Chip (stylist, người mẫu teen) trong vai các cô ngươì mẫu khác&lt;br /&gt;- Nguyễn Thủy (my assistant) trong vai phóng viên&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tối hôm trước thì đã đi mượn trang phục được của NTK Xuân Thu và Trọng Toàn.&lt;br /&gt;Chụp story này rất thú vị, ai cũng thích vì được "đóng kịch". "Vân" diễn hơi bị đạt, lúc ngồi ở vườn hoa nước mắt rơm rớm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bạn U.Lee thì chạy tất bật chỉ đạo mọi người. Make-up Mạc Huyền thì luôn tay chân để trang điểm cho mấy ngươì mẫu 1 lúc mà nhân vật chính mỗi cảnh lại 1 mặt khác nhau nên cũng cần sửa trang điểm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nói chung là thử nghiệm nhưng rất nghiêm túc và hăng hái. Chụp xong mỗi người mẫu lại còn chụp choạch ảnh lưu niệm rất ghê. Hà Angie còn ở lại studio đến tận khuya, đuổi mãi mơí chịu về.

Ông Bảo Nguyên làm truyền thần ở phố Hàng Ngang được chọn làm "hình nhân thế mạng".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;Ông Nguyên khá quen với sự làm phiền của báo chí nên trả lời phỏng vấn rất chuyên nghiệp. Ông vừa vẽ vừa nói chuyện, có lúc phải hét lên để át tiếng ồn của xe cộ bên ngoài. Cửa hàng bé tí, chỉ đủ cho hai người xoay sở, thêm đồng chí Quang mang máy ảnh vào khiến nhân vật cứ phải loay hoay tìm chỗ đứng.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;Lúc gợi ý theo ông về nhà chụp ảnh, ông Nguyên có vẻ rất suy nghĩ. "Cần hỏi gì cô cậu cứ hỏi ở đây, tôi chưa đưa phóng viên về nhà bao giờ". Uốn lưỡi mãi ông cũng đồng ý với lý do "chúng cháu muốn chụp lại không gian sống của một nghệ nhân đích thực làm nghề truyền thống trong phố cổ".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;Ông Nguyên tiếp khách rất nhiệt tình, lôi hết đồ cổ, kỷ vật cũ ra khoe. Quang bấm máy lia lịa, ông càng khoái, nói liền 4h đồng hồ không nghỉ. Lúc về còn hẹn: "có ảnh đẹp nhớ gửi để tớ vẽ làm truyền thần".&lt;br /&gt;Về, học được của ông hai kinh nghiệm quý: một là lúc ốm thì ăn cơm gạo lứt muối vừng, đảm bảo hai ngày khỏe ngay (cái này chưa thử, nên không chịu trách nhiệm về lời giới thiệu). Một nữa là sẽ cố vấn cho ông bà già cách chồng 8 cái chiếu lên nhau thay cho đệm. Đảm bảo vẫn ấm sực mà không hề đau lưng.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-5630153832181504339?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/5630153832181504339/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=5630153832181504339' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/5630153832181504339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/5630153832181504339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2008/11/ngh-truyn-thn-h-ni.html' title='Nghề truyền thần ở Hà Nội'/><author><name>Hanh Do</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09933610788481004441</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-252559647351144087</id><published>2008-11-27T18:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T18:17:02.289-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hazel Thompson The Park'/><title type='text'>Hanoi Traffic</title><content type='html'>&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/traffic02-799984.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_0705-799491.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_0705-799485.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today Thanh and I started our first day working together documenting a dance crew called SLICK. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We met them in Lenin Plaza park yesterday evening.  In the evenings the park starts to buzz with life. All kind of characters use the park..Hip Hop dancers, tap dancers, skate boarders, runners, food sellers to kids playing on electric toy cars. Its a hub for communities and sub cultures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So today we met up with two of the dancers Chi and Tiep and spent the afternoon with them as they went to check on their new dance outfits being made for a competition they are entering in a few weeks. The tailors was small with about 10 people busily working away, but no one seemed to bothered by my presence or the fact I was photographing them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the tailors we joined them for dinner at&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; a trendy teenage hangout called 'Spagetti Bar'.  Both Thanh and I felt old in the environment.  It was relaxed and Chi and Tiep happily chatted, appearing very comfortable with the camera and Thanh's questions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then after dinner we made our way back to Lenin Plaza to meet SLICK for their evening practice. We only had to walk a mile or so, but it was rush hour and the streets were extremley busy.  I was quite overwhelmed by the volume of traffic, as I have never seen so many motorbikes squeezed in one place. People were riding in any space available to keep moving, including the pedestrian pavement.  It was quite daunting at first, to be walking along and have 20 bikes coming straight at you. Crossing the street was even more of adrenalin rush. Up to 50 bikes will manoeuvre around you as you cross. Thanh seeing that I was nevous by this prospect, coached me just to walk slowly to avoid getting hit.  So I followed his lead, held my breath and safetly got to the otherside.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/traffic01-707692.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/traffic01-707678.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-252559647351144087?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/252559647351144087/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=252559647351144087' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/252559647351144087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/252559647351144087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2008/11/ist-day-taking-photographs-in-hanoi.html' title='Hanoi Traffic'/><author><name>Hazel Thompson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04555726202294690001</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-4674214169090352474</id><published>2008-11-27T09:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T09:49:53.559-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tuong Linh'/><title type='text'>"Accidents"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_0334%5B1%5D-749869"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/IMG_0334%5B1%5D-749479" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dave said that we had so many &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"accidents"&lt;/span&gt; that afternoon going out shooting just because we happened to meet lots of interesting people by surprise.&lt;br /&gt;We chose 3 places to shoot: Lam's coffee shop, The Arts School and L'espace - the French Cultural Center. On our way to the exhibit, we took a stroll around the lake area. It was such a beautiful day. We encountered a group of policemen around the government buildings but they were so keen on us that we couldn't take any photos of them.

So we went to Lenin plaza on Tuesday evening. We saw Chi there. She was practicing dance with friends. It turned out they were preparing for a dance competition that will take place in a couple of days. They have a dance group, too. And she is the one who knows English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yesterday we followed her and Tiep, the leader of the group to a tailor shop to see their new clothes. The tiny place was so crowded with young ppl. Almost all wanted skinny trousers. Except the hip hop dancers who ordered baggy shorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we went to a cool bar (everybody at the workshop asked us where THAT bar is) where they usually hang out. After bolognese, carbonara and two pizzas we headed to Lenin plaza again. Time to dance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found out that Chi goes to the same school as I did when I was at young. Small world, isn't it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-4141848204330276953?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/4141848204330276953/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=4141848204330276953' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/4141848204330276953'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/4141848204330276953'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2008/11/chi.html' title='Chi'/><author><name>Thành</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03536680222368095558</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851928883878220665.post-292367189887847271</id><published>2008-11-27T03:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T04:18:01.374-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='D J Clark'/><title type='text'>Son</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035178-743189.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035178-743185.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;When I started this project I was keen to avoid what I saw were popular visualisations of Vietnam. I had spoken of lawyers in the workshop to try and get the group to look beyond the poor and eccentric characters in Hanoi. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Linh&lt;/span&gt; had clearly got it and and found a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;fascinating&lt;/span&gt; story to follow. We met Son in the afternoon and went with him to the art school he longed to join. We had talked of mixing fiction and fact but as I spoke to Son it soon became clear there was no need for much &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;imagination&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035468-765667.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/uploaded_images/DJC0035468-765528.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Son was quiet at first but as the day unfolded he opened up and we found much in common. He &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;surprised&lt;/span&gt; me with his knowledge of English football and his love for sport. While waiting for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;exhibit&lt;/span&gt; to start he took me on a tour of the old city. This was my first outing in Hanoi and I enjoyed the warm evening and soft light on the old buildings around the city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the exhibition in the evening Son looked lost at first but slowly built up courage to approach the gathering crowd. In the mix he pointed out artists he liked and disliked and spoke of the day he held his first exhibition. It was almost dark in the gallery and I struggled to get a frame, but I could feel the story was strong. Linh and me will continue in more depth when I return.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/4851928883878220665-292367189887847271?l=www.britishcouncilworkshops.org%2Fhanoi%2Fblog.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/292367189887847271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4851928883878220665&amp;postID=292367189887847271' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/292367189887847271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4851928883878220665/posts/default/292367189887847271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.britishcouncilworkshops.org/hanoi/2008/11/son.html' title='Son'/><author><name>D J Clark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02159361001766180861</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
