The Ho Chi Minh City Youth Culture House will host an evening of Australian culture and entertainment on April 19 as part of its annual The gioi trong tam tay (The world within reach) program.
During the event, titled “Australia – A cultural voyage,” visitors will be treated to a host of interesting and educational Australian activities including performances on the Didgeridoo (a traditional wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia); karaoke contests; quizzes; and hip-hop dance presentations.
The cultural exchange will also feature unique Australian food specialties for visitors to sample such as barbequed kangaroo, ostrich and sheep dishes.
In addition, guest Vietnamese speakers who have either studied or worked in Australia will discuss their experiences and give helpful information about studying and working in the country.
The upcoming Australian cultural exchange event will be the third of the program, after two similar events were held in 2009.
Entrance is free and tickets can be obtained from the HCMC Youth Culture House from 9-11am on April 16 and 17.
“Australia – A cultural voyage,” will take place from 7-9:30pm on April 19. The event is organized by the city’s Youth Culture House and Australian Consulate-General with support from the Vietnam Graduates from Australia Club, Huu Nghi II Restaurant and Study Link International.
