Hanoi (VNA) - Dishes not only demonstrate the skillfulness and resourcefulness of a
homemaker and special features of each locality, but also reflect the cultural identity of each nation. A country with
tropical agriculture, Vietnam is home to thousands of
unique farm produce that serve as ingredients for a myriad of dishes.
The Eastern land, as Hai Duong was formerly called, has long been famous for its specialities. Once coming here, visitors will never fail to buy Ke Sat dry pancake, Thanh Ha lychee, and especially “banh dau xanh” (mung bean cake) and “banh gai” (glutinous rice cake dyed black with a concoction of pinnate leave) of Ninh Giang township as present for their relatives back home. Those presents themselves can tell tourists about the land they have just visited and the skillfulness of local people since the specialities illustrate this land’s unique cultural identity that can be found nowhere else in Vietnam

Sofia Kappel stars as a young Swedish woman keen to break into the adult film industry in L.A. in Ninja Thyberg s feature debut.
A young woman arrives from a distant land in the capital of a certain entertainment industry and ascends the ladder of success, only to lose a bit of her soul on each rung of the climb. That, of course, is the plot of
Showgirls, but it s not like Paul Verhoeven, or anyone who s written a version of
Faust, ever patented the concept. This means Swedish writer-director Ninja Thyberg has room to put her own stamp on this classic rags-to-riches-to-nihilism-and-disillusion narrative arc with
