MY FAMILY CULTURE

Through out the process in order to accomplish the family tree project, I have been learning a lot about my own history, about my hometown, my family culture, things that were so familiar to my life but I never knew the past of its. As the project has been done, I realized the family culture, traditional beliefs are really important that became a part of my life. The one question that I asked my mom and receiving in her answer a very surprise: “Mom, what is our hometown famous, traditional food?”

My hometown was in the north of Vietnam, where is Hai Phong, a port city. “Speaking of Hai phong, people thought of its very special, popular food through out the country, that is what we called Banh da cua.” my mum gently explained it. That was a huge blow to me. I ate it every week, I enjoyed it. The brownish noodle, with simple ingredients that could be found anywhere, and the tasty sauce combined together form a unique bond that being well-known, adored not only by Vietnamese people from the three regions of the country but also the foreigners.

I also learned diverse things from others friends’ presentations. For example, I learned about Korean traditional clothing from my classmate Roy, or either the sacred belief of Harvest in many Asian countries. I also knew the special ceremony for children were born of Baptism from one of my friends in different class while we were sharing information.

Discovered a hometown’s food that stands out for the Vietnamese culture, I shall feel quite please and interesting. I found that this project, not only an assignments from class to do for grade, but also helped me to understand more about my family’s exclusive culture. Last but not least, this project, basically led us to understand about our friends better, through the process of sharing family’s culture somehow proved it.
