It feels like I've been in Dalat for a few days but it seems like I have to leave this city. A very warm and peaceful city, a place where I can clear my mind. A city that is actually warm because of the tranquility it provides, the friendly people and the quiet streets because the residents have an interesting lifestyle.
Tonight I have to leave Dalat city and I had time to reflect on the hotel balcony to look around. It turns out that this place really makes you miss its natural beauty. Before leaving to go back to Ho Chi Minh, I had time to eat at my favorite place here several times and also sat in the park to enjoy a glass of Vietnamese coffee.
This afternoon I also stopped by several places that I think are very mandatory to visit in Dalat city, such as a house that is actually not abandoned, but has an interesting visual. On a small road and quite far from the center of Dalat city, but this house has a high artistic value.
Why did that happen? Just because looking at this house from the outside, you can see several paintings lined up and arranged on the roof of someone's house. In fact, Dalat city can rain 3 to 5 times a day. Can the painting weather by itself? Or is it intentionally made to make the artistic value different from other paintings? I don't know for sure the intention behind it all.
But believe me, there are many people who stop by just to take pictures in front of the house. It looks like an empty house but I'm sure it's a home base for a painter and property owner. I saw the word 'Dalat' on a mural that was part of the house.
Then after walking in the evening in Dalat city, I returned to my hotel. I saw that there were no stars in the sky that night. Indeed, Dalat city is very prone to rain, not a single star accompanied me at that time. I was a little sad but I knew that this city was more than that. Meanwhile, I had to pack some clothes to return to Ho Chi Minh city.
I took a sleeper bus to return to Ho Chi Minh. The reason is because the price is cheap. I don't know why sleeper buses in Vietnam are cheaper and easier than those in other countries, but there were no toilets on the bus. So you have to hold back the urge to pee during the trip. However, service and cleanliness are a priority even though they can't speak English well.
My advice, it's better to book tickets at the bus counter rather than from the app. The reason is the price is much cheaper 30-40% from the app. I got a round trip ticket from Ho Chi Minh to Dalat and vice versa.
The bus counter is so comfortable, there are many seats to wait for the bus to leave and get ready for the trip.
Call me Isdarmady, because I have a full name that is very long, namely Isdarmady Syahputra Ritonga. I am a head of the family who work as Farmers Vegetables Hydroponic and Consultant Hydroponics, sometimes I also sell coffee from various regions in Indonesia.
I have expertise dispensing coffee with a variety of techniques and tools brewing, because I have the desire to make a coffee shop with hydroponics as centerpieces. Help me realize that dream.

From the top view, it looked like the paintings were sitting on the roof. I got confused about that at first hehee... Wouldn't they be damaged easily if they sit outside the whole day? Perhaps they are just for decoration, not for selling. It really makes you feel sad when you have become attached to a place but you have to leave that place. You still have chance to return and feel the tranquility of Dalat City.
but now the studio closed permanent, thats sad story :(
