My grandfather often took me to school in the mornings when I was a little girl. We usually left earlier and stopped by a bakery near my school. He ordered cakes and milk for me while choosing a cup of black coffee with filter for him. When eating my food, I loved counting the drops of coffee falling down through the filter, wondering how they tasted. Once, when my grandfather was buying a magazine, I surreptitiously dipped a finger in the cup of coffee. Bitter! It was the first time I tasted it and couldn’t understand why the drink that many adults love was so bitter. That time I felt like I would never like coffee.

VIETNAMESE TRADITION IN THE ART OF BAMBOO<br />
The Naman Retreat resort stands out from other luxurious resorts in Vietnam due to its masterful bamboo and<br />
stone architectural design. Natural materials have been put to use in creating an amazing work reflecting the rustic<br />
traditional beauty of Vietnamese culture.<br />
As an investment by Empire Group, Naman Retreat is situated on one of the 6 most beautiful beaches in the world<br />
voted by Forbes. The resort is designed by the talented architect, Vo Trong Nghia, who is well-known for creating<br />
green spaces and bringing natural elements into his works.<br />
“It was a challenge to express the spirit of bamboo in the architectural design of Naman Retreat. This is the reason<br />
why I’m so glad that Naman Retreat is so highly evaluated by both domestic and international experts”, said the<br />
architect. Apart from its cultural meaning, bamboo is the architectural symbol at Naman Retreat. The strength of<br />
this material contributes to the beauty of the domes, evoking Vietnam’s past since bamboo is considered a symbol of<br />
Vietnamese resilience.
