So to begin with, today I would like to share with you about China, a country that I have wanted to visit for a long time. To give some background, as a Vietnamese person, China is considered a neighbor to us, as we are in the same region. We are both Eastern countries, so at some level, we share similar patterns in lifestyles, practices, and customs. In contrast, this country has its own beauty, for example, some distinguished places related to religion. This shares diverse beliefs and practices that, in my country, we do not have. Moreover, I would like to visit some developed areas that exhibit sophisticated technological devices such as flying cars or modern skyscrapers in big cities. Some of these have not appeared in Vietnam yet, so visiting China is also a chance for me to open my mind and gain a deeper understanding of the development progress of the world. That’s why I want to share with you about this country. This is not just for traveling and enjoying a holiday, but China is truly distinguished for its development and beauty in their lifestyle. To give some more detailed information, the local people there also share a similar lifestyle to some extent with the Vietnamese. I want to gain a deeper understanding, to witness and observe more, to explain some of our lifestyles.
