Vietnamese cultural day takes place in Sydney

In his opening remarks, UAVS-NSW President Dang Dinh Hung said it provides an opportunity for Vietnamese young generation and expats living in Australia to explore the country’s culture, nature and people.

The cultural day is among a series of events to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam-Australia diplomatic relations next year, he noted.

More than 200 visitors, most of whom are Vietnamese university students in NSW and expats, showed up at the event which featured a wide range of activities, such as making “to he” – toy figurines made of rice dough, painting on “non la” – Vietnamese conical hat, writing calligraphy and an exhibition of Dong Ho folk paintings.

They were also offered a chance to join a number of folk games and enjoy Vietnamese traditional food and beverage, like “goi cuon” (fresh rolls), “banh mi,” “ca phe sua da” (iced coffee) and “tra dao” (peach tea).  Iced coffee and peach tea were among the most favourite among the youngsters.

The event was designed following a traditional market in Vietnam in the final days of the year when Tet, Vietnam’s traditional New Year, is near.

The Philippines took an early lead in Tuesday’s game thanks to a penalty awarded in the 11th minute after Vietnamese goalkeeper Tran Thi Kim Thanh fouled a Philippine striker in the box. Vietnam struggled to create scoring opportunities before finding an equalizer in the 41st minute, when goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel failed to catch a cross from defender Nguyen Thi My Anh and let Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy net on the rebound.
