Due to all respect, sir and ma'am, I myself feel a big honor to introduce a new website to you- place you might feel interested to pass by.
First of all, let me spend a little words to say about the owner of it, one who I adored since I was a child, until now when I grow up a little bit. One who I considered as a Teacher of Life even he has never directly taught me in a real classroom, but all of the lessons he gave me so far are still valuable and unchangeable; the lessons of How-to-Live and How-to-Love! It isn't overpraise to say such things since, say, he seemingly has even stronger affect in the whole progress of forming my own ego than anyone else including my parents or teachers I have ever met. Of course, just to some certain extents but it's true. He has such intensive impact in my life, both backward and onward.
He is more than a teacher. He is a writer.
And, his name is Nguyễn Nhật Ánh. And, the website of his is: http://www.quandodo.com
In case you were kind of literature-addicted style between 1980s-2000s, I'm sure you must know him. Nguyễn Nhật Ánh and his charisma began initially by a series of pupillage-based stories which were read mostly in the South of Vietnam, but no longer after became national-wise well-known. His literature was pure, simple but strong, and very touching which was based on tender sense of humour. His stories were simply nostalgia. Everlasting, tearful and gnawing nostalgia. The nostalgia of a man who always regrets about the far-gone never-return time. Just like me.
It could be me who was too naive that time to truly believe into his stories. But, if it wasn't because of those cute stories who oriented me to believe that the life was sweet, I wouldn't have become a person as I am at present. I always think that life is still great no matter how harsh you must to suffer through inevitable solitary and tristesse it brings into.
The website is named after a restaurant appeared on his story, which is entitled "Quán Gò đi lên". The story I rank myself as one of his 5 best ones. And along with passing by to discover the website, I would like to provide you a link address enables you to read the story: [link] After reading it, you could get to know the deeply meaning of the name Đo Đo. And in case you really like the story, don't forget to think of supporting the author by purchasing a real book which is prevailing available in every bookstores.
The website, with well-designed and classical ambiance, surprisingly, is not about author's literature but about unique cuisine comes from his native land. Be a eat-aholic? Why don't come to try, mates?

PS: sorry my foreign friends, this website is plain Vietnamese. No English version available. But if any of you planning to visit Vietnam someday, especially Saigon city, it's just a good place to try Vietnamese traditional cuisine. Are you drooling now? :P
Written under a theme song of Cô gái đến từ hôm qua, sung by Mỹ Tâm. A song named after a story of Nguyễn Nhật Ánh.
