Dear Participants,

Our warmest welcome to all of you at the 39^th International Physics Olympiad in Vietnam!

As we will be celebrating a cultural show for all participants on that day, we hope that you will prepare your traditional costume and perform a short item representing your culture and people. This is an excellent opportunity to introduce your culture to friends from all over the world.  A variety of cultural dress would make the performances more interesting and impressive.

We are looking forward to your participation at this cultural show!

Thank you.
