SEA FESTIVAL IN VUNG TAU CITY!

VT city-my beloved hometown- is one of the most famous beach places  that attract the visitors in VN and the foreigners a lot. There are many interesting holidays in my province like the international kite holiday, World food festival and Sea festival, etc. However, Sea festival is the most common interesting festival in April every 4 years in VT. Because it only has once every 4 years, we - people in VT- take much time and effort to celebrate it with lots of fascinating activities during 1 week for preparation and 5 days for celebration.

One week before the Sea festival, we try to prepare carefully for this occasion. During one week, everybody join hands to make our province much more beautiful and attractive because it is the golden chance  to develop leisure industry in my hometown. First, every street is cleaned and decorated with the unique Flags of the festival, with many colorful flowers grown along the street and with many Diode lights on the trees. Second,  nearly 100 students from high schools and BRVT university volunteer to collect the garbage and clean along the beach during 3 days before the festival because beaches will take place most of activities in the festival . People, especially business people and tourist guides are also very busy to be well-prepared for the festival. While the traders try to think about the best strategy to attract the visitors and prepare the high quality products for the trade exhibition, the tourist guides also work very hard to plan interesting tours around BRVT province during 5 days for the visitors, especially for the foreigners. In 1 week, we- everybody in BRVT province- try our best to be well-prepare for the both important and interesting festival.

Thanks to the good preparation, 3 first days of the beach festival are very attractive with many activities. At the beginning of the festival, usually at 8 a.m on the third of April, the very big and fascinating Opening meeting which takes place in the main beach field - Behind Beach Field in VT -welcomes nearly 6000 visitors. In this meeting, visitors have information about the festival and enjoy the live show music from the Youth in BRVT and many famous singers in VN. At the end of the Open meeting, the organization announces the start of sculptural competition. This competition is usually taken part in by 40 teams coming from the art or architectural universities in VN and some Asian countries such as Laos, China, Japan,… With the topic of protecting our sea, each team has 3 days to complete the sculptural work by sand. While many visitors are interested in watching the sculptors' work or swimming nearby, others who like playing on the beach under the sun play some sea sports  in 2 first days. On the third day of the festival, people have chance to observe the Kite contest in the morning and afternoon. With the most beautiful, creative and highest flying Kites, 5 teams in 20 teams chosen by the observers will compete one another in the final day of the festival. In the evening, visitors are extremely excited about the Beauty contest and the concert on the beach. In 3 first days of Sea beach festival, I’m sure that the visitors will be very fun with these above activities.

2 days left of the holiday are very useful and unforgettable for the travelers. Very early in the forth morning, the trade exhibition starts; it is the time for commerce. In this exhibition, the visitors have chance to buy many beautiful souvenirs made from oyster skin and sea stone and unique products  like T-shirts, hats with the icon of the Sea festival in VT as well as the fresh or dried seafood. The goal of this exhibition is introducing the hand-made products of VT and donating for the poor in my province so that the price is always acceptable. Hence, the tip for the visitors is that they should buy souvenirs in this exhibition if they don’t want to waste time and money to buy outside. After that, they join in the final round Kite competition and they once again surprise with the professional skill of the players in flying the sky. At the sunset, the visitors will be satisfied with the Miss of the beauty contest who is chosen to become the representative for VT beach’s tours.  In the final day, the victory team of the sculptural competition is recorded; they together with the travelers talk about the meaning of product, advise everybody to protect our sea and take a photo with them. At the end of the fifth day, we - people in VT - will serve the visitors many kinds of delicious fresh seafood and bring them an unforgettable night with the impressive firework in Bach Dinh Mountain. Therefore, the 2 final days give the visitors the real happiness; we hope that the visitors will have a good time in VT from the beginning to the end.

Sea holiday is the most interesting chance for the visitors to relax and enjoy the sea in VT and the most meaningful chance for us to introduce our hometown and our leisure industry, to donate money for the poor. So, are you free in next April? Try once in VT, you will see how interesting our Sea holiday is!

The letter for the future Global citizens!!!!!!

Dear everybody,

I am very happy to write this letter for all of you-people around the world about the Global citizen’s qualities. Do you know who the Global citizen is? They are the ones who are ready to break their country border down to go to the world and join hands together to bring Peace, Happiness and Love for our own world. In order to become a good Global citizen, the one should have Global quality. According to the criteria of the Global citizen, we can classify the Global quality into three main qualities: Empathy, Responsibility and Equality. All my friends, I will tell you more about these three main categories of the Global quality.

The most important quality of the Global citizen is Empathy. Have you ever helped someone in need because of your empathy with them? I am sure the answer will be YES for most of us. However, I wondered how many of us had already helped the ones who were not the same country with us. Just a small number of us do that, right? While you and I hardly say “Yes”, the Global citizen will be always ready to help everybody in the world because of their empathy with everyone. The global citizen will not just work for their country or just open their heart with the one they know, they travel and help other people in other countries without thinking about their material benefits. Their empathy bring them the valuable spirit benefit is to share and to help the poor and suffered people because many people in our globe need our empathy such as the children need us to teach them some lessons, the poor need us to give them food and show them how to work for the food, the suffered people from the war need us to release their wound. Therefore, the Global citizens with their empathy helps others a lot. So, what do you think about that, my friends?

The second important quality is our responsibility with the world. The British author-Thomas Paine said that: “my country is the world and my religion is to do good”. That saying becomes the aim for the Global citizen. If you and I just think about our benefits, our country’s benefits because we love ourselves and our countries, the Global citizen will erase the border of their country and the world to do their responsibility with our own house-globe, with our own relatives-people around the world. For example, with the situation in Japan recently, while we felt very sorry for them but we do not have any help for them except for a little money to reduce their suffering, the global citizens are ready to travel to Japan to do their responsibility with Japanese people such as helping them to rebuild their country, sharing suffering with them because the Global citizens know Japan is the part of their own country-the world. Therefore, the global citizens are really become the leader of the world who have their responsibility with our own world. Are your ready to become a good leader of the world, my friends?  

The last but not less important quality of the Global citizen is Equality. Everyone, you and I, no matter what country we come from, what religion we belong to, what color our skin is and what social economic group we are in, we have the same rights and needs. With the same needs and rights, everyone from the Africa, through the Europe, across the America to the Asia receive the help from the Global citizen. They give us the same help, the same hope, the same happiness although you might be in Europe and I might come from Asia. The global citizen suddenly woke us up from the long sleep of distinguishing between the yellow skin people and other skins or between the white skin and order skins,…  They-the global citizen give us the chance to know although life is sometimes not fair among many countries, it is still good because they-the global citizens have made life much more equal day by day. The global citizens can be very equal with everybody in the world. How about you, friends?

Together with empathy, responsibility and equality, we can change the world, can make the world more beautiful and much more peaceful like the global citizens. Therefore, why don’t we join hands to build our globe up as a global citizen? I hope you and I will do our best to be the next global citizens. Write to me if you are ready, my friends!

Lovely,

Muipham.
