Hình ảnh
Nguyen Huynh Nhu, an 18-year-old student, is one of many with an eye on the future. Before even boarding the plane to Australia, she invested two months of her time in barista training at The Lovely Cup O’ Coffee in Ho Chi Minh City’s Binh Thanh District. This proactive step was taken in preparation for her hospitality course at Le Cordon Bleu, Australia. Nhu’s research revealed that being a barista in Australia offers a stable income and flexible work hours, ideal for students juggling studies and part-time work. But she also understood that it required more than just coffee-making skills. “It requires good communication skills, an understanding of customer needs, and the ability to work under pressure,” she shared with *Tuoi Tre News*.

By getting trained beforehand, Nhu hoped to gain a better grasp of the coffee culture and boost her confidence in her job s...

At an astonishing elevation of 5,883 meters above sea level, Umling La Pass stands as the highest motorable road on the planet. It presents an extraordinary challenge for adventurers and motorcyclists alike. Minh, an intrepid female motorcyclist from Vietnam, embarked on a daring journey to conquer this formidable pass.

This crucial step prepared her for the longer journeys ahead and the even higher altitudes she would encounter. During her acclimatization, Minh faced internal struggles, questioning ...

The Sporting Nation: Vietnam’s Quest for Athletic Excellence

Hình ảnh
While Vietnam has made strides in sports in recent years, its performance at major events like the Olympics and Asian Games remains modest. At the Olympics, Vietnam’s results have been inconsistent and on a downward trajectory. For instance, at the 2012 London Olympics, 18 Vietnamese athletes qualified, and the country took home one bronze medal in weightlifting. In contrast, at the 2016 Rio Olympics, 23 athletes participated, winning one gold and one silver medal in shooting, thanks to the impressive performance of Hoang Xuan Vinh. However, this success did not continue at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics or the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics, with Vietnam sending fewer athletes and failing to secure any medals. The nation’s performance at the Asian Games followed a similar pattern, with a gradual decline in gold medals from 2014 to 2022 (held in 2023 due to COVID-19).
