In groups

One hundred years ago, Vietnam was under the occupation of France. I would have attended a French established school. Not only would I have been studying French, but I also would be involved in Hanoi Elegant for young females, which was very popular during that period of time. We would have to learn how to dress properly, how to cook and sew. The school would teach us proper manners of what were thought to be elegant by the European standard. As a child, I am certain that I would have many friends my age in my neighborhood and from school. We would play different traditional games after school hours such as “choi chuyen”, “o an quan”.
