Journey to Vietnam










Mr Nhan, Director of Southern Youth Centre invited me to join their Tet celebration last night. It was a 3-hour entertainment gala as an endless stream of seemingly popular Vietnamese singers and performances keep the excited crowd on their toes. Vietnamese love music and this was clearly reflected in the crowd's appetite for the repertoire of songs. But it was the Koreans who stole the show - more off stage than on stage. There was a group of visiting Korean students and their enthusiasm for Vietnamese songs and singers clearly overwhelmed that of the Vietnamese as they rocked, rolled and waved through the concert. The whole show ended with a fireworks display that enthralled the local crowds. A very entertaining night for me.
