Although there are numerous Vietnamese restaurants in Japan that serve pho, the authentic and robust flavor of traditional Vietnamese street pho is often lacking. This can be attributed to a limited availability of necessary ingredients and differing culinary preferences among Japanese patrons. Tomoyuki expressed his observation of the shared cultural values between the Japanese and Vietnamese people. He highlighted the significance of “pho” in Vietnamese culture and stated that it is a well-known and beloved dish among all Japanese individuals. One possible reason for the widespread popularity of pho among the Japanese is the close affinity they have for rice, which is a staple in their daily diet. Moreover, pho noodles, a key ingredient in pho dishes, are created from rice, further accentuating its appeal to the Japanese palate. Some notable attractions of this cuisine include its reputation for being nutritious and its mild flavors, which set it apart from other cuisines. Additio...

Inna Hengari – Namibia Inna Hengari – Namibia During my visit to Vietnam, I was greatly impressed by the country’s development and infrastructure. The well-built roads, impressive architecture, and efficient transportation system in Hanoi are a testament to Vietnam’s progress. The hardworking nature of the Vietnamese people is evident in their efforts to build a prosperous future for their communities. As Namibians, we can learn from their example and work together to develop our own country. However, Namibia faces a significant challenge in terms of digital transformation – unemployment. Without jobs, young people struggle to afford basic necessities like mobile phones and internet access, let alone engage in digital transformation. One solution that we are considering is government support for young people to gain access to the internet and technology.
