Why is it that Vietnamese people never seem to cut the hair that grows out of moles on their face?

Question

I was on holiday in Vietnam, and everywhere I went I could see people with moles and hair that was several centimeters growing out of it. Why don't they cut it?

Answer 1

Ewww....thats really gross...and I have no idea because I never noticed before! Thanks for the mental images that will haunt me for the rest of my life! Ewwwwwwww!

Answer 2

Answer 3

They think its lucky, but when we talk to them... it really is all we see! So to us.. not so lucky

Answer 4

David, you are exaggerating. Shame on you.

Answer 5

ewww i have a mole on the side of my face, we call it a beuty mark its like a marilyn monroe mole, but there are no noticealb rnhairs

Answer 6

Because they consider cutting the hair will bring you BAD LUCK. The hair itself does not mean lucky but if you remove it, it's extremely bad luck...Just some superstition

Answer 7

they do not cut that hair because they believe they are "rich hair" (the hair make money). I have one on my face. it is too long but I have no money....

Answer 8

I think it's cause they are short.
