WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE? LIVING IN A BIG CITY OR IN THE COUNTRY? WHY?

 It's my honor to stand here presenting about my choice between living in a city or in a countryside. Although I was grown up in a countryside, I prefer living in an urban area. At the age of 22, like other young people, I'm fascinated with the glory of the magnificent city. I was attracted to the grandeur of building, the fantastic public transport system and the modern infrastructure for the first time I came to HCM city. They're things that I can't find in my hometown.  In addition, one of the most important things that make me choose living in the city is the medical care and service.

WHAT CITY WOULD YOU LIKE TO VISIT IN THE FUTURE?

 WHAT CITY WOULD YOU LIKE TO VISIT IN THE FUTURE? Actually, I have a myriad of destination on my must-visit list. However, if I have an opportunity to choose one, I'll pick Hanoi- the capital of Vietnam. I think that the reason make my desire to visit this city is my own curiosity. I want to see myself what have made Hanoi the timelessly tourist attraction that enchants thousands of tourists come to this city. I wonder that Hanoi and HCM city are both centers of economy and commerce but ancient towns are still present in Hanoi whereas we only see the modern house architecture and grandeur of buildings in HCM city. I'd like to contemplate the hoary beauty of ancient houses that still retain their beauty in the 19th century. Moreover, I want to taste the flavor of our northern area. Hanoi is renowned for yummy street food vendors. Watching the food reviews on Youtube always make me feel mouthwatering. I've tried some dishes like kebab rice noodles, rolled Pho, rice noodleswit...
