Today is the National Holiday of Vietnam, the day when Vietnam declared an independence from French colonization. Today in Hanoi is much quieter than normal days probably because everyone is spending time with her or his family at home.
I am quite proud of Vietnam when it comes to the topic of war. Vietnam protected its nation from France, China and the US, all of which had (even now) strong militaries. Not only this fact, but also the fact that Vietnam did not ask these nations for compensation is impressive.
Unlike Japan, Vietnam only pursued its independence and democracy. Even now, Vietnam is fighting against China over the territory of South China Sea. But today, let's just celebrate the independence of my another mother country. :)
