As a result, both my childhood and my father's childhood were related to games and activities on the beaches such as fishing, swimming and playing volleyball. Furthermore, In my childhood, i liked playing Vietnamese traditional games such as " Tha Dieu", " Nam Muoi " and my father also liked playing these games in his childhood. Finally, neither i nor my father knew much about things that relate to computers or the Internet.

On the other hand, there are some differences between my childhood and my father's childhood. First of all, my father was during war time but my childhood was not.
