Phở ([fɤ˧˩˧] ( listen)) is a Vietnamese noodle soup, usually served with beef (phở bò) or chicken (phở gà). The soup includes noodles made from rice and is often served with Asian basil, mint leaves, lime, and bean sprouts that are added to the soup by the person who is dining. The dish is associated with the city of Hanoi, where the first phở restaurant opened in the 1920s.
Phở originated in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam. The specific place of origin appears to be southeast of Hanoi in Nam Dinh province, then a substantial textile market, where cooks sought to please both Vietnamese (with local rice noodles, of Oriental origin) and French tastes (cattle were beasts of burden before the French arrived, not usually a source of beef). It was first sold by vendors from large boxes, until the first phở restaurant opened in the 1920s in Hanoi.
The origin of the word was one subject of a seminar[which?] on phở held in Hanoi in 2003. Some[who?] believe the origin of the word to be Chinese fen (粉). In addition to rice noodles, many of the spices (such as star anise and cinnamon) are staples of Chinese cuisine.
Lately I've been thinking that I don't feel like I used to do.
I'm trying to keep my two feet on the ground.
Constantly surrounded everywhere I turn I'm hounded,
people stop and stare and look me up and down.
Now you shouldn't feel down from what everybody says
and don't let it bother you if anybody stares,
'cause you know that at times people can be cruel,
try to put you down make you feel like a fool.
But you got one shot now don't you ever stop,
keep your dreams high keep reachin' for the top,
'cause you know and I know if they had the chance
they'd be climbin' up on the stage trying to dance.
CHORUS
C'mon C'mon and get together.
Lets take a chance, it's now or never,
spread the word over the nation
that we are the new generation.
C'mon C'mon and get together.
Start living your life like it's forever.
Don't wanna stop if you're dreamin',
let everybody know what you're feeling.
Questions I can't answer got me going round in circles.
Make me feel as though I'm losing self control.
It's feeling like a dream to me. I've lost a touch of reality
deep inside I've searched with my soul.
Now it's good to keep searching and bettering yourself
but don't push too hard 'cause it's bad for your health.
And running round in circles will always get you dizzy.
And thinking too much that will make your head busy,
so just sit back and relax, you gotta chill.
I promise that all of your dreams will be fulfilled.
One day if you keep on looking you'll find,
you just gotta go with your heart and your mind.
