Vietnam has a population of over 89 million people and its capital is Hanoi. The traditional Vietnamese dress for women is the ao dai. The main religions in Vietnam are Buddhism, Christianity, and Cao Dai. Vietnamese art, architecture, and musical instruments like the dan tranh zither and dan ty ba guitar reflect Chinese influences.

Vietnam has a traditional meal consisting of rice, vegetables, and fish. Rice is the most important part of the Vietnamese diet and is present at every meal. Vegetables are usually boiled simply without oil or fat for health. Fish is eaten frequently because Vietnam has many water sources like rivers that provide freshwater fish which are high in protein but low in fat unlike meat. The traditional Vietnamese meal focuses on simple, light dishes that are well-suited to the tropical climate. Today's Vietnamese cuisine still resembles these traditional meals.

The Cold War began between the US and Soviet Union after WWII due to ideological differences that led to tensions. The two superpowers used threats of force, propaganda, and aid to weaker nations to gain influence during the conflict. The origins of the Cold War stemmed from a lack of trust between the allies and disagreements over the post-war structure of Europe. Notable events that escalated tensions included the Marshall Plan, Truman Doctrine, Berlin Airlift, Korean War, and the Soviet launch of Sputnik, which spurred an American response to regain technological superiority.
Russia's political history began with the Mongol Invasion in the 13th century, where forces of Genghis Khan took control of Moscow and established Tatar rule over Russia that lasted until 1480. During this time, Russia was isolated from developments in Western Europe. In the 16th century, Ivan the Terrible began expanding Russian territory but died with no heir, plunging Russia into civil war. The Romanov Dynasty was established in 1613 and worked to modernize Russia along Western European lines under Peter the Great in the early 18th century. However, periods of reform were often followed by repression, as under Catherine the Great in the late 18th century. Russian territory continued expanding eastward and southward during this period

The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Soviet Union. It describes the Soviet Union's rapid expansion in the early 20th century and involvement in World War I and World War II, which led to territorial losses. Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in the 1980s aimed to save the Soviet system but unleashed demands for more change. The collapse of other Eastern Bloc nations and opening of the Berlin Wall in 1989 weakened the Soviet Union. By 1991, independence movements had dissolved the Soviet Union into independent republics, bringing a peaceful end to the Cold War.

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”

tied closely. It can extend
to aunts and uncles taking an
active interest in their
niece’s and nephew’s care.

national costume is the Áo dài (au zai), which is worn

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!
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.
