About three months ago, when it was the start of autumn, my roommates and I decided to wake up at dawn to take a trip around Hanoi. Since we all had a day off, my friend, who is a morning person, found waking up early a piece of cake. However, I'm a heavy sleeper, so I found it a bit more challenging. My alarm went off at 3:00 a.m., and I could only manage to get out of bed after snoozing for 15 minutes. After nearly an hour of putting on makeup and getting dressed, we hit the road at 4:00 a.m. to our first destination, the flower market. We decided to ride our motorbikes so we could feel the fresh air, especially the crisp autumn chill. After reaching the market, we wandered around to see and experience the vibrant atmosphere of various flowers. We also bought a bunch of daisies and took some photos. After that, I recommended having a hearty breakfast. Having some bread and a full stomach made us feel better, although we were still a bit tired. We decided it was too early to go home, so we headed to a coffee shop for a morning coffee. The coffee shop had some small bookshelves, and reading a book while having coffee helped me to relax. However, at that point, both my friend and I fell asleep because we hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before. So we made the decision to go home and take a nap to recharge our energy. Anyway, it was an exciting experience because waking up at the crack of dawn gave me a unique chance to see a different side of Hanoi. It was quiet during the early hours, and there wasn't the usual hustle and bustle of peak hours.
