The Beauty and Uniqueness of Vietnamese Coffee Through the Eyes of International Friends
Coffee is more than just a drink in Vietnam—it is a cultural treasure, a daily ritual, and a way of life. For generations, coffee has been an essential part of Vietnamese identity, woven deeply into the rhythms of cities and villages alike. While coffee is consumed all around the world, Vietnamese coffee carries a distinctive character, style, and flavor that international visitors often find unforgettable. The story of Vietnamese coffee is not simply about the beans or the brewing method, but also about the atmosphere, the people, and the culture that surrounds every cup.

Small Habits, Big Changes: How Tiny Daily Actions Shape a Better Life
When people think about self-improvement, they often picture sweeping transformations—quitting their job to follow a passion, moving to a new city, or reinventing themselves entirely. These dramatic shifts make for inspiring stories, but in reality, change is rarely about grand gestures. More often, it is the quiet accumulation of small habits that truly reshapes a life.

Alone in the Crowd: Why Modern Life Makes Us Lonelier Than Ever
Walk into a bustling café on a weekday afternoon, and you’ll notice something curious. Every table is occupied, every seat filled, and yet the air feels oddly quiet. Heads are bowed, not in conversation but over glowing screens. Friends sit together, each absorbed in their own digital worlds. Strangers occupy the same space, but rarely share a word. We are surrounded by people, yet many of us feel profoundly alone.

Logging Out to Tune In: What I Learned From a Day Without Social Media
It started as a challenge. I had been scrolling endlessly, switching from Instagram to Twitter to TikTok without even realizing it. Hours slipped away, and though I had “seen” hundreds of posts, I felt strangely empty. My attention was fractured, my thoughts scattered, and my mood increasingly restless. That was when I decided: for just one day, I would log out of every social media app and see what happened.

Artificial Intelligence and Creative Work: Are You the Driver or the Passenger?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant promise whispered in labs or tech conferences. It has entered our homes, offices, and even our hobbies. AI now writes essays, creates illustrations, generates music, and edits videos. Perhaps most strikingly, it has entered the sacred territory of human creativity—an area once believed to be uniquely human. For some, this is thrilling: a world where machines free us from tedious tasks so we can focus on what truly matters. For others, it is unsettling: will AI eventually replace artists, writers, musicians, and other creators, stripping away their livelihoods and diminishing the value of human imagination?

Sailing Through Dreams: A Journey in Hạ Long Bay
There are places that exist in photographs and postcards, and then there are places that feel like stepping into a dream. Hạ Long Bay, located in Quảng Ninh Province in northern Vietnam, is one of those magical destinations. With thousands of limestone karsts rising dramatically from emerald waters, the bay is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also a symbol of Vietnam’s natural beauty.

The Village That Taught Me How to Breathe Again
Most of the world knows Vietnam through travel magazines, war documentaries, or postcard-like images of Ha Long Bay and lanterns in Hoi An. But Vietnam, for me, is not just about breathtaking landscapes or famous tourist spots. It is about a small, quiet village tucked away in the northern countryside—a place that taught me the meaning of stillness, patience, and peace.

Because of a Small Promise
For three years of high school, I had worked like a buffalo plowing through endless fields of words and formulas. Nights stretched until two or three in the morning, my eyes drooping shut, my body ready to collapse. My hand trembled from the cold as I forced myself to solve yet another difficult math problem. The rainy season of senior year dragged on; muddy village roads were flooded, my thin raincoat clung to my skin, my lips turned pale from the chill—yet I kept whispering chemistry formulas under my breath.

Hanoi: Where Time Walks Beside You
The First Glimpse The moment I stepped out of the train station in Hanoi, I was greeted by a city that seemed to breathe with both chaos and charm. The streets buzzed with motorbikes weaving like schools of fish, their horns creating a rhythm that was strangely musical once you stopped resisting it. Vendors sat on low plastic stools, steam rising from bowls of phở that perfumed the air with star anise and cinnamon.

My sister
After his old schoolmate's birthday night, Ji returned home drunk and low. In his mind he was still aware that the lights had not been turned off, that his house was still awake, not asleep to wait for him to come back.

3-2-1...END
This is a true story, about me, and about a past love. I don't think I have enough sharp sentences to tell you a good story. The only thing I'm thinking about is to write something, to feel like I actually existed there.

F U - THE Warm Son!
Write to your friend - Lim! I have the feeling that, when we're young, who do we like is going to like that person for whatever reason? When we love someone, we love no matter what! Can you give up your parents (in movies or meetings), exchange a lot of things... to be with the people you love, and of course people have to love you too? The most beautiful relationships of my youth, from my personal point of view, are mostly unilateral, silent...
