Vietnam is one of the most attractive countries in Southeast Asia. It is not surprising that the peculiarities of the life of the local people are unique. What national peculiarities of Vietnam should tourists know?
The nuances of the behavior of the Vietnamese
Vietnamese are accustomed to being friendly, sociable and can talk very loudly, which reminds Moroccans. At the same time, people are simple in nature, so it is extremely easy to establish contact.
Vietnamese in the southern regions wear masks on their faces. The fact is that local residents are afraid of contracting any disease, trying to protect themselves to the maximum.
Unfortunately, the Vietnamese have no idea what the queue really is. For this reason, they are ready to get ahead of other people, even if they stand much longer. Such actions are conditioned by the habit of survival and the ability to act as quickly as possible.
Prepare for the fact that the Vietnamese may listen carefully and even nod their heads, but not really understand you. In this regard, what needs to be said needs to be translated into Vietnamese. All of the above-mentioned features of the mentality are manifested in the behavior of local residents.
The nuances of cleanliness and hygiene
- The cleaning of any hotels turns out to be poor. In most cases, it is common practice to remove only hair and small debris on the floor. Try to wear slippers at all times.
- In every hotel complex, there is a risk of encountering ants. In addition, no one seeks to fight these insects. In addition, they do not fight with rats on the streets.
- Dirty water is discharged directly into the street, so there is an unpleasant smell.
- In many Vietnamese cities, the sidewalk is loose. You should try to step only on those tiles that are stable, because this approach will allow you to be as safe as possible.
- It is customary to chop ice for making drinks on the asphalt itself, so squeamish people should refuse to add ice. However, drinks without ice are about double the price.
- On the sidewalk it is customary to dry noodles, cabbage leaves.
If you are not a big supporter of cleanliness and do not suffer from special disgust, you can safely go to Vietnam and get to know this unusual country with a truly rich culture.
