Attending a Countryside Wedding in Southern Vietnam

Image
We have all attended a wedding at some point in our lives. The celebration of a union between two individuals is a special moment, celebrated in various locations such as churches, venues, and gardens all around the world. In Vietnam, weddings follow a similar structure, but there is something unique and enchanting about countryside weddings. Unlike other countries, Vietnamese weddings are often divided into several sections and can span over weeks or even months. The legal aspects of a wedding must be completed at a government office in the hometown of one of the partners. In the case of a wedding between a foreigner and a Vietnamese person in Vietnam, the paperwork is done in the hometown of the Vietnamese partner. However, if both individuals are Vietnamese, one of them must obtain a single certificate from their hometown and bring it to the hometown of the other partner to complete the marriage paperwork. This process can take weeks or months to complete and is often done well be...

Vietnamese artist achieves silver medal in international manga awards

Nachi’s work has stood out among 587 other artists from around the world, even though it’s just a one-shot comic. Inspired by her passion for astronomy, the story revolves around the daily lives of celestial bodies such as the Sun, Earth, Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter. These celestial bodies work together to protect and sustain life on Earth. “I enjoy learning about astronomy, but I’m not very good at math, so my dream of working for NASA is nearly impossible. That’s why I try to tell stories about this topic from my own perspective and imagination,” she said. Through meticulous illustrations and giving planets and stars human-like qualities, Nachi hopes to bring astronomy closer to people in a simpler way. The series will consist of three chapters, with the first one set to be released next year. “I didn’t expect much from my work, so I am extremely happy and honored to have received this award,” she told Tuoi Tre newspaper. The Japan International Manga Award, established in ...

Ronaldo joins Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr until 2025

Ronaldo departed Old Trafford last month following an explosive television interview in which the 37-year-old forward said he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect their Dutch manager Erik ten Hag. Al Nassr issued a statement saying the five-time Ballon D’or winner will join on a deal until 2025 but did not disclose any financial details. Ronaldo’s contract has been estimated by media to be worth more than 200 million euros ($214.04 million). “I am fortunate that I have won everything I set out to win in European football and feel now that this is the right moment to share my experience in Asia,” Ronaldo said in the statement. “I am looking forward to joining my new team mates and together with them help the Club to achieve success.” Ronaldo will arrive in Saudi Arabia with a vast collection of club honours after a glittering spell at Spanish giants Real Madrid from 2009-18 where he won two LaLiga titles, two Spanish Cups, four Champions League titles and three Cl...

The Uniqueness of The Waterfalls at Song Cliff

Image
In the forest of An Ninh Dong commune, Tuy An, Phu Yen province, there are all kinds of disc-shaped rock formations. These rock formations are quite rare. Here lie the Song Cliff – Hom Cliff waterfalls. These are actually two relatively small waterfalls, located on the same stream, about 1.5km apart in An Linh commune. They are near the western mountainous area of the Tuy An district. The waterfall in Hom Cliff is quite low, but a bit higher than the one in Song Cliff, probably about 15 meters. The stone formation here is made up of countless small stone pillars lined up side by side. In the second half of June, during the dry season, the Song Cliff – Hom Cliff waterfalls will be dried up. It is not until the second half of the year will visitors be able to see the two waterfalls once more. Photo: Travel.vn In the dry season, the stream is just a rocky outcrop, sometimes there are a few puddles of water between the rocks. The stone pillars lined up together to form the w...
