“What I must say first is that David Beckham is so handsome,” a young lady said during the meeting with her idol.
“Now being a businessman and a brand ambassador, Beckham is just more gentle and elegant"
“Beckham is the focus of interest wherever he appears.”
The diehard fan was effusive in her praise for the Englishman.
“David Beckham is a perfect product of England’s football, and a smart man with a good reputation.”
At the meeting, Beckham remarked that Vietnam has
developed greatly since the last time he visited the country, but the
warmth and friendliness of the Vietnamese people remain unrivalled.
The ex-captain of the English national team also
expressed his wish to try Vietnamese street food, saying he believes it
is delicious.
Beckham said "he wanted to have a chance to walk
around the city and learn about local culture, adding he will bring his
whole family to travel to Vietnam in the future"

The
27-year-old gingerly climbed onto the horned beast in Vietnam - one of
the few countries in the world to block his social network site.

travelled with his Chinese-American girlfriend Priscilla Chan and a
group of friends, flying into Hanoi on December 22. They were seen visiting the Hoa Lo Prison Museum, known as the 'Hanoi Hilton' where American prisoners of war were held during the Vietnam War.
From there they were taken by helicopter to the popular tourist destination of Ha Long Bay where they spent the day on a cruise ship and rowed kayaks.
On Christmas Day the group flew to an eco-lodge in the northern mountain tourist hotspot of Sapa.
A local farmer helped control the buffalo as Zuckerberg slowly rode it, but Priscilla kept a low profile as they visited a village.

of youth. He reminded young people of carrying out their passion right
in their country, always remembering their country, always thanking for
what they had although everything were not good, believing and keeping
on striving for a brighter future.

dearest things, the last time when they take care of their relatives,
the last time they thank their relatives for giving them support. They
should be thankful for what they have if they fail the entrance exams to
universities or have no jobs. Whatever they do, they should do it with
all their heart.
