Hi everyone, thanks to @galenkp's contest, I got to know this community. This is my first time posting here. I'm Loan, from Vietnam. Nice to connect with everyone here.
I really like the taste of coffee, but I can't drink it. Or rather, I'm bound to quit coffee because even if I only used a small amount, I still got drunk. I don't know how to make coffee, and I don't have any interesting stories related to coffee. Today, I want to share with you about a special cafe shop in our country. And the values in life thought that I have received since knowing it.

The name of this cafe is “the cafe of youth”. A few days ago, my younger sister recommended it to me. She told me her experiences about the trip to this place. I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to go there yet, so the pictures in this post are the ones I took from the cafe's fan page and will leave the source. Through my sister's words, I feel the human values that this cafe has brought to society. I call it the cafe of happiness, of kindness, and I want to spread this kindness to everyone.
Here are a few features of “the cafe of youth”.
"The cafe of youth" is located in Da Lat city, Lam Dong province, Vietnam. This is a project of young people for the dumb and the deaf. "The cafe of young" was built to help these people have work to do, experience, have joy and faith in life, have the opportunity to interact and integrate with everyone and with society.
The cafe is renovated from an old house, with a simple, cute wooden gate and no door because the cafe house always welcomes everyone even when there is no owner or staff in the cafe. They are not afraid to lose anything in the shop because this is a cafe born based on the humanity and belief of the project owner in a good and meaningful life.

Inside the cafe is a strange and peaceful scene. People come here to find peace. The poetic beauty of the cafe is like a sedative to help people forget all the fatigue and worries of daily life. This is the space of plants, flowers, lovely decorations, and cute staff.

Talking about the staff here, they are all deaf and mute people, although they can't speak or hear, they can listen to guests with all their heart, and you can communicate with them with understanding and love. There are many lovely handmade items made by deaf and dumb people here, including soaps, essential oils, souvenirs, etc., all displayed in a neat and orderly manner.

They also have their own farm to grow flowers and vegetables. The harvested products will be displayed in the cafe to sell to visitors.

The drinks and food here are all well-reviewed on travel websites, and I have not seen any complaints about the quality.

Ordering drinks and purchases here is also special. Drinks in the bar do not have a specific price. It is paid with the heart of each guest. The owner gives the guest the right to evaluate the value they receive here. Immersed in this happiness colorfully space, I'm sure that what you get is priceless.

In this cafe, people call each other family, and the cafe is their home. There is no distinction between the owner and the employee, and there is no superiority or loss. They eat together, rest together, play together and live a simple life but extremely warm and happy.

Here, there is a small table, on which there are paper and pens. After enjoying tea and visit around. The traveler will often write a few lines on a piece of paper and sticks it on the wall at a corner of the shop before leaving.

This is a great coffee shop, right? What a perfect place! From the scenery, the flowers, to the people. When the pandemic is over, this will be the place I want to go. I'd love to be immersed in that poetic scene, to interact with deaf-mute employees, to feel their efforts and happiness. If you ever visit my country, I hope you'll drop by "The cafe of youth" in Da Lat. I'm sure that it will be an interesting and meaningful experience.
After knowing about the cafe, I love this life even more. Thanks to it, I knew there are still so many kind things and kind people in the world around us. There are still places where the value of money cannot reach because the love and care between people and the happiness that people spread to each other are bigger than all.
In the past and present, have you ever complained about your fate incessantly? Have you ever hating your life? Have you ever wondered why you still can't find happiness? After reading this article, I believe you have found the answer. The reality, happiness always exists around us, and it hides in the simplest things. You know, in this world, there are many people fighting diseases and epidemics to regain their lives. Many people fleeing because of war, bombs, bullets, and they even don't have a good meal. And there are many people who don’t have a healthy body, but they still live and work like deaf-mute employees at this "the cafe of youth." Then we, who are sitting here, sipping coffee and chatting together in this community, should feel that we are luckier and happier than all. Everyone's life is like a cup of coffee, has both bitter and sweet tastes, but in the end, just feeling it with love will feel rich and warm. We should stop complaining about everything that happens around us because every incident has its arrangement. This life has meaning or not depends on the way you treat those around you and with yourself. Come on, let's start a new day with a taste of your favorite coffee, then work hard and live a meaningful life.
This is my entry for #coffeecontest by @Galenkp. Thanks to this contest and the @Cinnamoncupcoffee community, I have the opportunity to share this special coffee shop and spread good and kind things with everyone.
