Amidst the sweltering summer days, people in Hanoi can’t wait for the evening to go out and enjoy the cool air everywhere. Every lake is crowded, every sidewalk is bustling, as people squeeze together to sip iced tea, lemon tea, and drink beer to beat the heat.
Among the most popular hangout spots in the capital, West Lake is the most favored location, thanks to its beautiful scenery, lively atmosphere, many delicious cafes, and interesting entertainment spots. However, visiting West Lake to admire the view isn’t always enjoyable, as one might sometimes encounter eye-catching scenes like this one.
At first glance, no one might notice much, but a closer look reveals something “off” right in the middle of the frame. A couple is kissing each other deeply, with the girl sitting on her boyfriend’s lap, holding his chin and kissing him “hungrily.” Even funnier, a single guy sitting at the next table is singing away like he’s heartbroken, making netizens laugh out loud.
Looking at the railing surrounding the lake, netizens confidently assert this is the section of Nhat Chieu street, as that area is filled with sidewalk cafes right by the lake, and the distant view showcases the sparkling city lights. It’s just a pity that the romantic scenery was ruined by this couple’s lack of decorum, causing a furious backlash from the public.
While it’s understood that couples have the right to express their affection for each other, to kiss so passionately in the midst of a crowd is indeed disheartening. Many netizens harshly criticized the couple, wondering why, with such passionate love, they didn’t choose to find a more private place, but instead boldly displayed their affection right in the street for public judgment?
The couple’s inappropriate actions have infuriated thousands of netizens, especially the singles who feel extremely “uncomfortable”. Surely the lonely guy next to them was singing while feeling quite miserable, truly a case of being unable to kiss enough while being unable to escape!
