Speaking to a reporter from the Industry and Trade Newspaper, Maysa said that Vietnam is a country she had heard a lot about since she was a child. Growing up and learning about the history of Laos and Vietnam made her even more interested and curious about Vietnamese culture, country, and people.
“I’ve loved Vietnam since I was little. After finishing high school in Laos, I received a government scholarship, so I didn’t hesitate to choose Vietnam as my study destination. I also chose Quang Ninh University of Industry as my place of residence throughout my journey,” Maysa shared.

Along with that, the enthusiastic, kind, and open nature of the people made her feel love for Vietnam and a strong desire to stay there.
