Chu Van An Secondary School students learn to play the keyboard with the Chilean Ambassador to Vietnam.

At the exchange, the Ambassador taught the students to play the song "Si Vas Para Chile" (If you go to Chile), one of the most popular Chilean songs. It is about a conversation between a Chilean living abroad and a tourist who is about to visit Chile. The Chilean man asks the traveler to visit the woman he loves to express his love from afar. He shows the way to her house, describing the willow trees by the stream, the Andes, and the townspeople of Las Condes.

The song's closing line is one of Chile's most popular sayings: "You will see how they treat a friend in Chile when he is a foreigner" (Y verás como quieren en Chile al amigo cuando es forastero), refers to the friendliness of the Chilean people towards foreigners
