Visiting Uncle Ho in Buenos Aires

The flight from Vietnam to Buenos Aires (capital of Argentina) is considered one of the longest in the world with more than 32 hours of flight time each way, not including connecting and transfer time. When completing this round trip flight, you can be proud of your health and endurance.

Buenos Aires is known by many different names, but the most popular is the "Paris of the South". Seen from above, the city seems to be covered in a cool green color, the green patches interwoven with large architectural blocks neatly planned by the French since the 19th century.

French-style cuisine and fine wines will captivate any wine connoisseur. Countless cultural and architectural features similar to European society are present in the heart of this South American region, surprising visitors with the blend of a very European space (France) and a generous Latin American spirit (Argentina).

Both Argentina and France share a slow lifestyle. In Buenos Aires and Paris, you will rarely see people walking on the busy streets, sandwiches in hand, rushing to a meeting place. For people here, eating is a pleasure and is never rushed. In particular, enjoying coffee has become a typical cultural feature of both countries.

When in Buenos Aires, one of the must-see places for tourists is the Recoleta Cemetery - one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world. This is the city's first public cemetery, built in 1822. The unique and orderly architectural style makes this building stand out. Walking in the strangely beautiful cemetery gives me a magical feeling rather than the fear of a horror movie.

The cemetery park is also the final resting place of many famous people, including Argentina's First Lady Eva "Evita" Perón. She is a national symbol of the dream of freedom, happiness and equality for all genders, and is the idolized character in the famous song "Don't cry for me, Argentina" performed by legendary singer Madonna.

A very meaningful destination for Vietnamese tourists is the Ho Chi Minh Monument right in the heart of the capital. The Ho Chi Minh Monument was solemnly inaugurated on August 30, 2012, symbolizing the friendship between the people of Vietnam and Argentina. I was fortunate to spend the last minutes of my journey offering flowers and commemorating him, ending the trip with indescribable emotions and a heart full of profound contemplation.
