I carry within me half of Vietnamese blood, but whenever I wear an ao dai and sing Vietnamese songs, I feel 100% Vietnamese.
I love wearing Ao Dai, so I have quite a few sets in my wardrobe. Each Ao Dai with a different design and color gives me different feelings when I wear them. The red Ao Dai is my first one, a gift from my grandfather who took me to buy it. It has a dragon pattern on it, which represents strength and makes me feel like I am flying when wearing it. This Ao Dai has a picture of a Tet painting with firecrackers and banh chung, making me feel like I am celebrating Tet with my grandparents at home.
I am also proud to know that "Ao Dai" is recorded in the Oxford dictionary. Ao Dai Vietnam is loved by many people around the world because it is beautiful, simple, and easy to wear for everyone. When I wear my Vietnamese Ao Dai abroad, I feel that no matter who I am and where I am, I am still a Vietnamese.
Wherever there is an Ao Dai, there is the homeland. I love the Vietnamese ao dai and want more Vietnamese people and international friends to love and wear it.
Oh, how beautiful the homeland is with the colored ao dai
No matter where it is, Paris, London, or the farthest regions
When you see the ao dai floating on the streets
You will see the soul of the homeland there, my dear.
