Hi everyone,
It rained all day on last Saturday because of the impact of Typhoon No. 9, but my close friends still decided to go to Que Trung commune, Nong Son district, where a friend's family lives there. This area is a mountain so the mobile wave is very weak. By the time we arrived, it was already dark. My friend and I were in a panic about no phone signal, so we decided to drive up a distance of nearly 7 km to have a temporary phone signal to solve some work. It is true that modern life makes us very dependent on technology, just lack of internet Wi-Fi or phone signal, feeling deprived and disconnected from the outside world.

In the evening, the space is quiet; we light a fire to warm up and gather together to have dinner and drink wine, yeast in the body plus the cold winter of the mountains, no traffic, Trinh music from the loudspeaker which my friend bring up makes the emotions abundant, returning to your own self. The emotional senses are pushed to the extreme, happiness mixed with worries.

The next morning, we visited the relics of the Madam Thu Bon and Gieng Ba (well of Madam Thu Bon), lit an incense stick to show our respect to Madam. According to folklore, she was a Cham female general, full of talent, having fought many battles. She chose this place as a place to live and a base for the army. From then on, she protected the villagers from many tragedies and in gratitude to her, the villagers built a temple which is Dinh Ba today.

Every year from the 10th to the 12th of the 2nd lunar month, there is the Madam Thu Bon festival with the use of many ancient games; this is a big traditional festival with colors of folk beliefs dating back many generations. The festival is recognized as a cultural heritage national intangible culture, plays an important role in the spiritual life of the people here.
After visiting and taking pictures, we returned to Da Nang. On the way, if you pay attention along the way, you will see a very large dam. I guess if it is sunny, the scenery here will be very beautiful but due to the flood season, we did not stop in but continued to return. On the way we stopped at Que Son chicken noodle restaurant which is delicious. At this time, it continued to rain due to the influence of storm No. 9 on the East Sea. Sitting in the car, my friend played Bolero music, the soft sound made me fall asleep for a while until I got home, ending a rainy weekend but also full of laughter.
