In Vietnam, we have a custom where we always inform our parents when we go out or come back home.
For example, I say 'Con ra ngoài chút' when I'm stepping out and 'Con đi học về' when I return.
This habit reflects our respect for our family and keeps us connected.
When foreign friends visit, they sometimes find this communication a bit formal, but it feels very warm and meaningful to us.
It’s a way of showing love and care, making sure everyone knows where we are and what we’re doing.
