The architecture is stunning and historically and culturally meaningful as well. I learned a lot about Chu Van An here today and I learned that he is one of 4 people in Vietnam recognized by UNESCO. I feel particularly inspired today by Vietnam's teachers, Vietnam's students, Vietnam's long and rich history and tradition. I wish all of Vietnam's teachers a happy Teacher's Day!"
