WHEELS

4. Maybe it is the funniest thing in
Vietnamese people. It is also the most
discussed thing. The way they are driving
cars and riding motorbikes is crazy! And
they are not afraid of doing it!
In truth, they can transport domestic
animals, plants, electronic devices at top
speed! Just look at these pictures!

5. It surprises tourists
but it is absolutely normal
for Vietnamese people. They
are really calm and relaxed.

6. In Vietnam everything can be
transported on a motorbike.
It’s the most favorite and the
easiest way of transport for
everyone.
ALL MIGHTY MOTORBIKE!

7. Hey there’s enough place for all…10 of them!

8. FAMILY
LIFE

9. “A WIFE WITHOUT A HUSBAND IS
LIKE A BOAT WITHOUT A RUDDER”
Women are traditionally
dependent on men and are taught
that they have to obey three men
in their life. Firstly their father,
secondly their husband and finally
their oldest son.

10. “THE FATHER IS TO THE CHILD AS
THE ROOF IS TO THE HOUSE”
Disobeying parents is an
unacceptable breach of the
family doctrine. The children’s
obligation to their parents
extends to their care in their
old age. The responsibility even
transcends death when the
children are expected to carry
on their obligation through
ancestor worship and the
maintenance of ancestral tombs.
THE FAMILY IS
THE MAIN
SOCIALIZING
AGENT

11. “IF THE FATHER OR MOTHER
LACKS OR FAILS, CHILDREN
ARE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE FOR
BY AN AUNT OR UNCLE”
Relations between siblings
are determined by gender
and birth position. Members
of the extended family are
tied closely. It can extend
to aunts and uncles taking an
active interest in their
niece’s and nephew’s care.

13. FASHION
OBSESSIO
N

14. The most popular and widely-recognized Vietnamese
national costume is the Áo dài (au zai), which is worn
nowadays. Áo dài consists of a long gown with a slit on
both sides, worn over silk pants.

15. It is elegant in style and
comfortable to wear. Áo
dài is made compulsory
in many senior high
schools in Vietnam, and
some colleges. Some
female office workers
(receptionists,
secretaries, tour guides)
are also required to
wear Áo dài.

16. People in Vietnam wear mainly cotton clothes. Styles differ in
northern and southern Vietnam. In northern part of Vietnam
people wear sandals made of old tire rubber . In southern part
men and women normally wear western-styled clothing. In most
rural areas women wear loose shirts with skirts.

17. They have an amazing peculiarity to use the
pyjamas as street clothes !
If you see it you’ll probably be surprised.
But if you live in Vietnam for time soon
you’ll get used to this unusual local feature.
Apparently on a hot
sunny day these are
the best choices ever!

18. NATION
AL
CUISINE

19. Traditional Vietnamese
cooking is greatly
admired for its fresh
ingredients, minimal use
of oil, and heavy reliance
on herbs and vegetables.
Vietnamese food is
commonly ranked as one
of the healthiest cuisines
in the world.

20. Vietnam is a country that is criss-crossed with rivers and
streams, tributaries and deltas as well as being bounded by
the South China Sea. Fish and shellfish, both freshwater and
saltwater, are abundant and as a result really cheap.

21. Rice and rice noodles are basic
dishes in Vietnamese diet. It is
rather overpowering by Western
standards but mainly people have
Pho (rice noodle soup) as a typical
breakfast in Vietnam. Pho is
prepared not only in a sophisticated
manner but also in the technique
which is required to have sweet but
pure bouillon, soft but not
overcooked noodle, soft and sweet
smelling meat.

22. The best way to refresh oneself on
a hot tropical day is to have a nice
cup of green tea!
Traditionally, Vietnamese
tea drinking is considered a hobby
of the older. Tea drinking would
accompany aristocratic activities
such as composing poems or simply
appreciating nature.
