Vietnamese Entertainment?

Question

What are the most popular entertainments in Vietnam?

Answer 1

Karaoke is pretty much everywhere. (I was walking around in a quiet neighborhood yesterday afternoon and went by a house where a woman was practicing her singing with her karaoke machine. Several friends and acquaintances have such machines in their homes.)

Sitting and drinking tea or beer with friends (mainly men). Or meeting at cafes, ice cream parlors and coffee shops with friends.

Concerts and clubs are popular.

Movies are very popular.

I was surprised when a friend invited me to join her and her friends for ball room dancing - this is a small town in central VN. And the place was packed!!!

If you go to a mid-range to pricy restaurant, most of the clients are Vietnamese.

Going to the beach for a summer holiday. Going to important pagodas / temples on important holidays.

Doris has it right re kids and sports, but adults also participate in volley ball, badminton, etc.

Exercise - every morning if you go out early you will see Vietnamese exercising. I have friends in Phan Rang who go swimming for exercise every morning at 6AM, and the beaches are crowded with swimmers. Go to Hoan Kiem Lake, or actually anywhere in the morning and people are out exercising - either as groups doing martial arts, stretching, etc.

Answer 4

Traditional entertainment in Vietnam is hanging out at the coffee shop in the neighborhood. Even here in the states, every Vietnamese mall has to have couple coffee shops with music and mostly men hanging out just to check out women walking by.

We, Vietnamese people do love music. Depends on the region, the music may be different but we all listen to music. Movies is another form of entertainment.

Answer 5

Watching dramas, movies or gig. Tennis and karaoke. Drinking beer and chatting. Bowling and playing pool or just walking around shopping.
