Top interesting about Vietnam tourism

Few days ago, i read an article 15 interesting things about Vietnam tourism of blogger Tara Vargas. She said:

“I traveled to Vietnam in 2007 and wanted to share with you the knowledge that I have been to Vietnam, especially the Saigon Tourist. My thoughts may be right, may be wrong but that’s the experience I want to share with you!”

The most of info that she shared are right, but few are not totally and i want to add few things. This’s not a rejection to her experiences, but I just want to add few things and explain them for more complete.

2. When the Vietnam tea or water, they always leave 5 to 10% of water in the cup while standing up. They never drank.

4. The Vietnam often bath in the morning, but they usually shower at night.

Dat Hoang: Not totally right, it’s not often, we almost don’t bath in the morning, just late afternoon or evening. 

5. These young teens love food, music, hairstyle, clothing style Korea.

Dat Hoang: Totally right, the Korean famous singers and actors are idols of Vietnam youth. We see they have a perfect beauty of the Easterner (although we also know that beauty is almost from cosmetic surgery).

6. Vietnamese people usually have a nap after lunch, at around 12-13h, then very quiet street and very little traffic jam occurs.

Dat Hoang: Too right, 12-13h is quietest period on the streets in daytime. 

7. The songs of Abba Happy New Year, Hotel California by the Eagles and Papa Paul Anka is popular karaoke songs.

Dat Hoang: I think it’s not right, 2 these songs are in default list but we rarely sing them. Really, i and my friends have never sung them when karaoke. 

8. The Vietnam helmet is not so safe when traveling, which is to avoid the traffic police fines.

Dat Hoang: This’s really a complex problem that agencies have been trying to remove. However for now, there’re many people have strictly observing this rule when travelling (me too :P). 

9. Few people in Vietnam respects lanes for pedestrians. We often pray when crossing the street or walking on the sidewalk.

Dat Hoang: That’s right, because there’re too many vehicles but the roads are narrow so too difficult to respect lanes for pedestrians (although we want to do it). If you worry about this, let’s visit the article: How to cross the streets in Vietnam?!

10. Every family here has 2 motorbikes and they leave them on the ground floor. Living room is also room for parking.

Dat Hoang: It’s right, the leaving motorbikes in living room maybe from 2 reasons: Narrowness of the houses in big cities while cost of parking in outside is too expensive and the architecture of our traditional house doesn’t have garage.
