What I have learned about myself/culture/or someone else ?

Because of the project, I can learn many things about me when I was young, my family, my country and something about my friends.

Vietnam is a beautiful country and has many special things. It has 3 regions: North, Mid and South. My family is from the South. And I love Vietnamese food so much because it very delicious and copious. From the North, my favorite food is Com. From the Mid I love almost all of food (For ex: Bun Bo, Cha, Banh Nam,...). And the South is Banh Beo, Banh Xeo,... In Tet we have Banh Chung, it's a square glutinous rice cake (filled with green bean paste and fat pork) and Banh Tet is the same but it has a different shape from Banh Chung. Let's talk about the clothes, here are some traditional clothes of Vietnam: Ao Dai, Ao Tu Than, Ao Ba Ba, when the women wear them, they will make the women more pretty. At the local school we can stay at home in some traditional holidays of Vietnam.

In class, some friends that come from other country such as Minami and Kristine. I knew something about American and Japanese. Such as I knew how to say "hello" in Japanese. It's kon'nichiwa. And knew where are their countries on the map. From my family side, my mom told me about my grandfather at both sides when they went to war. She told me about her dad's gone when she were a little baby and her mom become mad when her mom lost my grandfather. That is one of many reasons make me hate war. And she told me that when she born me, Vietnam don't allow the people who work for state to born more than 2 children. I have 2 brothers. That means I'm the 3rd. She born me and the hospital where she worked punished her. The punishment was my mom must work for the hospital for 5 years and didn't receive one's salary. But mom hoped to get one baby girl so she accepted that punishment :) I know my family love me a lots and I love them too. I also love my home land is Vietnam.
