“It is said that when you come to Vietnam, you will understand a lot in just a few minutes, but the rest you have to experience in reality” (quoted from "The Quiet American", Graham Greene).

He shared: “I have not been to Vietnam for the past 20 years, and so I decided to choose this place as the next destination of the program”. Vietnam is now so attractive.
