Introduction

Hello everybody!

We are Cam Van Suong and Nguyen Hong Ngoc, students of Hanoi University of Languages and International Studies - Vietnam National University. For a very long time, we have shared the same idea that one day we can introduce to friends all over the world the distinctive and charming beauty of Vietnamese Culture. Have you ever read the sentence: Each one is a book if you know how to read? Our knowledge about Vietnamese Culture is as limited as a book in an enormous library, but we still want to try our best to bridge the culture gaps and make Vietnam closer to all of you . It's our love and our passion for the country where we were born and grow up. We just want to caress every moment when the youth still belong to us and devote as much as possible to our beloved Vietnam. This blog just have been set up and seems very superficial. We are going to tell you about the most common knowledge of Vietnamese culture through each entry.

Visit our blog and please don't forget that the factor that we need most is the support from everyone.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us
