Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in

There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and
quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so
it is safer for young children.

However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because
there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to
find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means
that it is hard to find jobs.

In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the
whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young
people who have a career are better provided in the city.

HUNG KINK FESTIVAL

This festival celebrates the legendary birth of Vietnam’s first kings, the Hung Vuong. Details
of their origin remain sketchy, but the story has become rather embellished over the years: born from
the union of a mountain princess and a sea dragon, the Hung Vuong came from a hundred sons
hatched from a hundred eggs laid by said princess. Half the sons went back to the sea with their
father, while the rest stayed behind with their mother and learned to rule.

To remember the valiant sons of this lineage, people gather at the Hung Temple, located near
Viet Tri City in Phu Tho province, about 50 miles from Hanoi.

Festival goers light incense, make offerings, and beat bronze drums at the temple, then join a
temple fair, which includes entertainments like traditional Vietnamese operas and sword dances. This
holiday is traditionally celebrated on the tenth day of the third lunar month; as of 2007, the
Vietnamese government declared this to be a nationwide holiday.
