The Hidden Charm

Xin chao ! シンチャオー Now you know how to greet in Vietnamese
Xin chao, I’m from Vietnam ! My name is Thai Phung (it sounds like “typhoon”)and you can call me Phung (フン)
I’ve been staying here in Japan for 1.5 months. This is my first time abroad, therefore everything is so strange to me, and I’m very eager and exciting to explore a whole new life! Thanks Kansai Gaidai a lot for offering me such a great chance (I luv ya ! )
Well, let me introduce something about my country. Hmm… what should I tell you…
Yeah, I will talk about… FOOD !!! ( I am 食いしん坊, but 花よりだんご, right? )
ベトナム料理と言ったら、フォを始め、春巻きやバインセオ、ブン,チェ、シオイ。。。など、いろいろなおいしいものがある。(My mouth is watering ! ) Most of the Vietnamese food is the mixture of noodle/rice, meat and vegetable, so it is not only delicious but also rich-nutrient. You can taste different flavor in your mouth, and it great 感じyo !

And because Vietnam is a tropical country, we have a thousand kinds of fruit throughout the year. Have you ever tried blue dragon fruit, lychee, guava, papaya, magostine, plum, star-fruit, or durian? Really you should try them all, I bet you will fall in love with them ! (They are all my favorites! ).
Some photos for you to view. Whenever you have a chance to visit Vietnam, remember to contact me, I will bring you around (be careful or you will get fat after the trip then! )
じゃ、またね!
