My good
friend Mok Kar Yan usually sends me wonderful postcards from her journeys. And
this postcard she sent me while she was travelling 7 days in Vietnam. Vietnam
was fun and she tried so many things like parasailing and snorkeling. So great!
So, let's discover a mysterious exotic country Vietnam!
Location: Southeast Asia
Capital: Hanoi
Population: 89,571,130
Official language: Vietnamese
National anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SceSkkRtC2s
In the western world, the word "Vietnam" is
almost always associated with the word "War". However, Vietnam has
more than 1,000 years of recorded history, it is astonishingly exotic and
utterly incredible. Vietnam's people and economy were devastated because of
decolonization and decades of war, but today the country is already recovering.
The signature on the card means:
Utilize various sources of foods, develop the home pig breeding to contribute
to the animal husbandry to become the major production.
The first stamp - the bridge Chùa cầu.
It was constructed by the Japanese trading community in
1593 to connect them with the Chinese area on the other side of a small stream. The second stamp - The One Pillar Pagoda (a replica
of 1950-1960) is a historic Buddhist temple in Hanoi. The temple was built by
Emperor Lý Thái Tông, who ruled from 1028 to 1054. The Emperor built the temple
in gratitude for the son.
Thanks a lot for the card, Kar Kar!
