My Hometown
Good morning ! My name is Quang Ngoc. I come from Vu Ban district which is to the south of Nam Dinh. I am living with my parents and my sister, .In my free time , reading book and speaking English are my hobbies. Today I am here to tell you about my hometown.

Firstly,
Nam Dinh province is my home town. It is small but peaceful and beautiful and situated in the south of the Red River Delta. It is surrounding up by some others neighborhood province in the region such as Ha Nam, Thai Binh on the north and northeast, Ninh Binh on the west, the East Sea with 72km long coastlines.

Now let me take you to travel around Nam Dinh city first. The city is about 90 km southeast of Vietnam's capital, Hanoi. From Hanoi, it takes you an hour and a half to go there by a coach. If you are sick of cars, you can go by train. Nam Dinh railway-station is a big one in the North-South railway network, so it is very convenient for you to choose a trip.
Nam Dinh is a political, economic, cultural, commercial center of the Red delta. It used to be called the textile city and it was recognized as the first municipality last year

Traveling around Nam Dinh city is simple and convenient. There are many different vehicles you can use such as: bus, taxi, motorbike, “xích lô”, bicycle.
Two large rivers passing away Nam Dinh city are Red River and Đào River . The two rivers play an important role in river traffic and development of Nam Dinh in the long run.

Nam Dinh is famous for “phở”. Besides, you can enjoy many other specialties: gai cake, Ngự banana, Sìu Châu candy… If Hanoi has 36 old streets, Nam Dinh has also 40 ones , for example, Hàng Vàng, Hàng Bát, Hàng Nâu, Vải Màn… But now most of them don’t exist and trade traditional products like before. These small and old streets are on the bank of Đào River and contain peculiar pi'kju:ljə/riêng biệt shape which is related to 750-year-developing history of Nam Dinh city. Some streets still keep their

    Don Ganh is the cultural metaphor used to describe Vietnam. A don ganh is a pole which is usually made from bamboo with two baskets balancing perfectly on each side. It is able to be adjusted according to the strength of the worker. These are widely used by the merchants in Vietnam. The duality of the don ganh can be applied to Vietnam’s division between the North and South, individualism versus collectivism and harmony, change from the old to the new, life inside and outside the family, and inequality versus equality. The North of Vietnam is distinctly different from the South; from climate to food to dialect. Particularly, the influence of the French can be felt and observed strongly throughout “traditional” North Vietnam. Whereas, in the…

    Hanoi, the nation’s capital, lies on the banks of the Red River. It is not only the country’s political, cultural and educational capital but also the most important economic center in the North. Ho Chi Minh City, the new name for Saigon, lies just north of the Mekong Delta in the South, and is the largest city in Vietnam. The city, with a population of five million, functions as the country’s economic heart and business hub. Danang, in the central part of the country, is the third largest city and an important port.…

    Vietnam occupies approximately 127,243 square miles (329,560 square kilometers), an area roughly equivalent to New Mexico, and is situated between 8 and 24 degrees latitude and 102 and 110 degrees longitude. It borders China in the north, Laos in the northeast and center, and Cambodia in the southwest. Its 2,135 miles (3,444 kilometers) of coastline run from its border with Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand along the South China Sea to its border with China. The delineation of Vietnam's borders has been a focus of dispute in the post–1975 period, notably the ownership disputes with China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Malaysia over the Spratly Islands; and with China and Taiwan over the Paracel Islands. Recent progress has been made settling land border disputes with China and Cambodia. The Vietnamese culturally divide their country into three main regions, the north (Bac Bo), center (Trung Bo), and south (Nam Bo), with Hanoi, Hue, and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) serving as the main cities of each region. Hanoi, the site of the former capital of one of the country's earliest dynasties, has been the capital of the unified Vietnam since…

    The name of the city where I spent my childhood is called Senec and it is the second largest town of historic Gemer region, lies 175 m above sea level somewhere in the heart of Europe. It is situated in the west part of Slovakia and it lies on the river Cierna Voda. The first written document concerning Senec dates back to 1332. The history of Senec is connected with an aristocratic family of the Drugeths from Italy. The Drugeths came to change Senec into the center of one of the largest feudal dominions in Slovakia. They ruled for 5 decades until new family from current Hungary took over the power the whole region. The Andrassys started to influence the history of Senec in the 19th century and that period was characterized by economic growth. With the first train in Senec in 1871 started also the development of trade and woodcutting. The construction of a plant for the production of textile and shoes, Chemlon, started the growth of Senec in the 20th century. Senec was gradually becoming also a center of chemical engineering industry. At present Senec is a district town with over 85 thousand people. Its life is rich in cultural and sport events. The most significant town monument is the renaissance Manor house, where the museum is now and gothic church. Near the Manor house there is an old park with an open-air museum of folk architecture. At the edge of the town there are small detached family houses. It is possible to see them from the style they were built that they are old, but also kept in a very good condition. As you travel towards the town center the houses are getting bigger, with beautiful wooden roofs, attics and terraces. The biggest houses are around the square in the center of the town, all decorated in renaissance and baroque style. But the most beautiful part of Senec is the gothic castle and it´s church. Senec is not only a historical city. It is also an important road, rail, air and river transport junction. Senec also houses the…

    The water from the Sedon River flows south to meet the Mekong, converging at a distinct point. Due to the difference in water composition, on sunny days it's striking to see where the milky caramel color of the Sedon joins the greyish-blue of the Mekong. With scenic views of the well-traversed waterways and lush foliage all around, the riverside restaurants along Road No.11 typify the heart and soul of southern Laos. Modest outdoor stalls with little more than plastic tables and chairs await customers. The idea is to do as the locals do--take pleasure in the leisurely pace of life, taste a variety of snacks ranging from spicy dips with sticky rice, crunchy rice cracker treats, to pho (noodle soup) or barbecued chicken, washed down with cold beer while watching the sunset on the horizon. With this in mind, time spent in the city of Pakse involve strolls through neighborhoods with colonial architecture, remnants from a period when the French used the city as an administrative center at the turn of the 20th century. Nowadays, new roads and bridges link the area with Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, making the provincial capital a hub of commerce. Despite its slowly increasing popularity as a transit point for travelers, Pakse remains uncrowded and is under no threat of being overrun anytime soon. Even if making an onward journey, a short stay in the city offers…

    Phnom Penh

    I was born in Kampong Cham Province and I have moved to live in Phnom Penh since I finished my high school. When I first came here in Phnom Penh, I felt very surprise and scare. The building and people were far different from my hometown. I got around Phnom Penh by motorbike for a first few days. I saw many high rise buildings; especially the city's French colonial buildings were beautiful. I saw some different kind of transportation that running on the road such as: modern car, Motorbikes, Motorbike-taxis (motodops), Taxis were available at a few locations, Tuk-tuks, and Cyclos. There transportations were in the great amount if compared to my province and it sometimes caused a very serious traffic jam and accidents. I also went to the Royal Palace which no photography was allowed inside the Silver Pagoda and some of the Palace buildings. You were expected to dress decently (no bare legs or shoulders). Beside this, I went to Wat Phnom. I liked the park there. It was a pleasant green space and a popular gathering place for locals. A few monkeys kept quarters there as well and will helped themselves to any drinks you leave unattended. After that I went to Independence and Liberation memorials. Impressive Buddhist-style Independence Memorial, commemorating the departure of the French in 1953, dominated the centre of the city. Nearby was the very ugly Stalin-style Liberation Memorial, marking the Vietnamese capture of the city in 1979. The area was especially popular on weekend nights with locals when the multi-colored fountains were activated and communal music was played. I took several pictures there and got some rest. I also went to Sorya shopping center which located at the south of the Central Market. It's on a North-South Street on the west side. It is currently Phnom Penh's main Western-style mall. It is air-conditioned and contains a range of cheap fast-food outlets as well as a well-stocked supermarket named Lucky Supermarket. You can do…
