RE: Interview: @elvielins’s Vietnam story – Join contest to win some Steem Basic Income shares and 5 SBD
I must admit that I do not know of Vietnam another face that is not the one that the American films show about the war of the 60s. The human losses left pain and mourning in many homes. Socialism to our day has failed to show that it is a balanced and fair ideology. It is the opposite: a misfortune that destroys societies and ruins countries. It is the enrichment of few and the poverty of many. Venezuela is a clear example of the failure of socialism in the 21st century.
Today, I am the victim of a petty ideology that has only brought misery to my country. And I can feel in my soul, the anguish of the Vietnamese of those days.
I like to know, that they have a treasure like Halong Bay, where they can be disconnected from sorrows.
@thaishps, when I was in Hanoi City, the very first day, me and my husband walk out from the Hotel. We stayed at the OLD QUARTER. In this area, there is a LAKE OF THE RESTRORED SWORD During the walk, we met few children want to to talk to us. These children will share story about Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam. I am so surprise that these kids were taught well. Unlike other kids in big city, know so much about latest of Iphones and lates games.. But Vietnamese kids are different, they are more to local history and they share it with the tourists. So I could tell you that they are day by day.. embracing us.. tourist or foreigner in Vietnam. That will make them disconnected from pain.. I encourage everyone to go.. Only when you are there.... with the kids, you feel it.
@thaishps Thanks for sharing your honest thought with us. I just want to say that we all are getting better, day by day. Keep your faith! From Vietnam with Love to Venezuela! <3 I would suggest you to watch Kong Skull island, I know it's a fictional movie. And @elvielins visited that venue they made the movie too. The reason not to watch a fictional movie, but the story behind it was inspiring, just to show that how are open to new opportunity, let the history stay aside little bit and connect to the world.
Such an excellent observation @elvielins, THANK YOU! We are still trying to improve everyday!
