I was born in Ha Noi, the capital of Viet Nam. Ha Noi is famous for its natural beauty, with 
lots of rivers and lakes. There are many historical places to visit in Ha Noi. The Literature 
Temple (Van Mieu – QuocTuGiam) is the country’s first ever historical university. 
Teenagers often come here to pray for high results in their upcoming examinations. As 
Viet Nam is a Buddhism-oriented nation, its capital has also been the centre of Buddhism 
for centuries. In Ha Noi alone, there are about 600 temples and pagodas. It also has a big 
church in the city centre, a popular place for the few Christians living here. With a 
population of nearly eight million, the city is quite crowded. However, the public 
transportation is not adequate, so visitors find it hard to safely cross the roads. The city is 
packed with universities and enterprises, making it the top destination for higher education 
students and labour workers. Many people from rural areas reside in Ha Noi so that they 
can get well paid jobs. This makes the city become more crowded than ever before.

may not know how to deal with. Many boys feel obsessed with their voice or appearance. 
Girls feel annoyed with unwanted spots on their faces.

strong, they can perform well. If not, they suffer from endless stress.
