Interview with international student Michael (Son Hoang Kieu)
Today, Son Hoang Kieu, who likes to be called Michael, is going to tell us interesting facts about the Vietnamese culture, traditions, and food. We will talk about his personal life story, his associations with German culture, and the importance of culture in today‘s rapidly changing world. Thereby we may highlight some stereotypes and clichés about German and Vietnamese culture.
Michael is 20 years old, he grew up and lived in Vietnam for 19 years and came to Germany one year ago. He studies “Business Administration” at the Fachhochschule Südwestfalen in his first Bachelor semester and has connections to Paderborn through his engagement at the student initiative AIESEC Paderborn.
