Hello and welcome to VOV’s Letter Box, our weekly feature dedicated to listeners throughout the world. We are Mai Phuong and Ngoc Huyen.

(VOVworld) - Ashik Eqbal Tokon of Bangladesh shared his feelings after viewing VOV’s photo reportage of Long Bien bridge in Hanoi:“While walking on the bridge, I see many villagers and hawkers opening their shops beside the path. Fresh vegetables - cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes - smell as if I’m in my country. While noticing farmers farming under the bridge, I imagine I’m on the bridge of Jamuna in Bangladesh. A train comes along the middle of the bridge and I notice the engine of this locomotive is not like ours. Then I know I’m on the bridge of Long Bien,”

A: This week, we continued to receive a lot of letters from our listeners from all over the world. Most of the listeners wrote that they especially liked our features about Tet traditions, customs and Tet celebrations among different ethnic minority groups in Vietnam.
