When you think of Vietnam, what pops in your mind?

Question

Ok, so ex: when you think of Japan, you think of sushi. When you think of Korea, you think of kimchi. So I'm wondering what you think of when you think of Vietnam. Anything like food or events. Whatever, and be nice cuz I'm Vietnamese!

Answer 1

I think of my sister-in-law from there who now live in american and how sweet she is and my nephew =)

Answer 2

A government which is NOT entirely for the people.  A government which exploits its people, embezzles their money and oppresses those who stand up against them.

A race of intelligent, diligent and hospitable yet in the case of the homeland, lack of opportunity for many people.

Answer 3

Beutiful nature & friendly people.

Answer 4

The children and their descendants that American soldiers and the American government abandoned.

Answer 5

MY COUNTRY! I think of awesome food and my family.

Answer 6

Today I think of my wife and her family.  Before I met her the first thing I thought about was our (Americas) failures there.  I still think about that obviously.  History will not be kind to our Country regarding Viet Nam.

Answer 7

pho and tet and the big celebrations

Answer 8

I'm half vietnameese but was raised completely american (dont even speak the language).  Its funny cause my mom was all about the "Im an ammerican girl now" thing when she moved here and didnt speak to me or cook vietnameese food.  Since she is getting older now she is getting back to her roots and is always harrasing the old ladies at the Vien Dong (store) about how to cook something!  I do think of values and respect, that is the one vietnameese thing my mom taught me!  Unlike a lot of americans who run around cussing their parents, strangers, etc.

Answer 9

Food=Pho (rice noodle)

Liquid=Cafe sua da'

Fashion=Ao Dai

Transportation=Motor Bike...China is capital city of the world

                                                  world of motor bike.

Technology=#1 in the world of pirated  software.

Just to name a few for you..

Answer 10

The Vietnamese have great food actually, Pho and chicken curry is awesome. But what really struck me about Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam is how friendly and kind the people were there. That is what I remember mostly. Very friendly people, with good morals, and very kind. I have Vietnamese friends here in the US from TSC which is a catholic organization and I can say the exact same things about them. Very sweet people.
