Hello Hive Cross Cuture !!!

Hi from Viet Nam, it's really cool to share the cultures on here with many people from worldwide so that we can exchange and learn from each other. Well, this is an ideal community and comes up with great topics. I'm impressive by the question of this week: 馃寧馃寧馃寧What is something people from other places might find strange about your country or culture?馃寧馃寧馃寧 by abundance.tribe@abundance.tribe. So far, I have not seen many my country-fellows on this platform so I'm one of the most Vietnamese active users here 馃槃. However, I'm not feeling alone since I have met many amazing & inspired people here.

I'm so glad to be here to share some strange things about Viet Nam. Honestly, I don't really regconize them as strange things to me as they are as parts of my dailyroutine 馃槂 I wouldn't have notice it if I hadn鈥檛 chit chat with my international friends and heard some fun stories & curious questions from them 馃ぃ.

  1. Many zeros of money 馃槅: I'm not sure it's strange but it's fun. Why do I come up with this first? Because many zeros of money actually; for example VND 10 000 and VND 100,000 are different. Everyone dream of being a millionaire, and here you are, living that dream in Viet Nam haha. The happiness is short as you will spend it quickly if you are confused of using the dong currency馃槂

  2. The country of street Ninjas馃ぃ: Why all women cover everything from head to feet?馃榿 How can they breath? 馃槀This was...super funny when I was once asked by a British friend when we drove scooter on street. Since Viet Nam is a tropical country and every partt in the country is hot and humid. Especially, Vietnamese Women are scary of getting tan so we just want to cover skin when going out. No matter how hot it is, their skin need to be protected. (okie 鈽猴笍 Ninjas 馃シ is everywhere in street Vietnam so don't ask your Vietnamese girlfriend this stupid question again..haha just kidding)

  3. Motorbike Skills: " If you don't own a motorbike, you are not a Vietnamese"馃ぃ That's why motorbike is the most popular transport in Viet Nam. The street in the city can be hectic, traffic jams but you will find some fun and adventure as well as witness some crazy ability of carrying many stuffs on a little bike 馃槅

    4.Street Crossing: It totally challenge to take a crosswalk here in Viet Nam 馃槂. I'm sorry, here like nobody cares or gives way if they see you cross the road 馃槡You need to challenge yourself combating against all the vehicles coming from every direction, otherwise you will just stand still and watch them pass by until midnight 馃檪. Lol Be courage and just walk straight ahead, you will pass it 馃

5.Napping after lunch (12pm-1:30pm): Taking a nap is just a habit and a cultural tradition for many Vietnamese people and we take it during lunch break so you don't be shocked when encountering people sleeping not only in the office but also on the street (like on the motorbikes 馃槈, intresting right?) .

Let's me think. What else? 馃How funny and interesting they are! If you know any, please share in comment. I believe there are still many weird and strange things out there.

I hope my post is useful. You might come across with many strange things when in Viet Nam but I'm sure you will love it. These things makes Vietnam unique. It's fascinating to learn how different people live from various nations.

Have a fabulous day and Thanks for viewing my post 馃槝馃槝馃槝
