Friendship Without Borders: A view on Russia

Before coming to Russia, I imagined being able to exchange knowledge and study Russian culture. It was exciting, but I never expected that studying abroad would bring me so much unique and unforgettable experience.

Right after moving into the dormitory, I realized that I was surrounded by friends from all over the world. They represent different cultures, but they all are full of energy and enthusiasm, just like me. Every conversation, every meeting, and our walks together made my life here incredibly fascinating. This is not just an experience; these are real memories that will stay with me for a lifetime.

When people in Vietnam speak of Russia, the first thing that comes to mind for most is the legendary brown bears. This image has almost become an inseparable symbol of the country. My friends and family often joke that every Russian man can wrestle a bear – at least for 30 seconds! Although this is just a joke, there is a grain of truth in it: Russia, in the eyes of the Vietnamese, is a country of strength, resilience, and at the same time incredible friendliness.

In the end, my student years in Russia gave me not only valuable knowledge but also many unforgettable encounters and strong international friendship. I am sure that everyone who studied in Russia holds warm memories of this country in their hearts, just like I do, and will always remember it.
