November 20th is the National Teacher day in Vietnam. On this day, students of all ages will gather together to visit their teachers with flowers and presents. This practice is to show the traditional respect for teacher which is considered the noblest of all jobs in Vietnam. It is really interesting and inspiring to observe small, 10 or even 5-6 year old pupil carrying bunches of flowers with expecting faces for their turn. As the level of study moves up, this practice takes a rather more commercial sense. Yet, the beautiful meaning of it remains as ever.
