Statement Explanation
Traffic Because traffic in Vietnam
culture is very crowded, many
foreigners are overwhelmed
when they see this scene
Eat dog Dog meat can be
meat considered a culture of
many people, and some
places in Vietnam still eat
dog meat.
Eat blood After killing animals to cook
soup dishes, Vietnamese people
use the animal blood to
make another dish, beating
it up with chopsticks and
adding a little spice to it.
Littering Littering indiscriminately is
a hard habit of Vietnamese
people, accompanied by a
poor consciousness. They
always litter in public places
and don't respect each
other's sense.
Customs Some customs in Vietnam
are different from other
countries, making visitors
here feel quite surprised
and unusual
Example
I once saw 2 foreigners
crossing the street, they were
very confused when there were
many cars on the street and did
not know how to cross the road.
I saw 2 foreigners walking, and
they saw a stall selling dog
meat. After that, they were
really shocked and they
wondered why, that dog is so
pitiful to be like that.
My neighbor made blood soup
with duck blood on New Year's
Eve. He added things like
peanuts and onions, which I
didn't dare to eat.
When a foreigner came to
Vietnam, they were shocked to
see that all the untidy garbage
bags were littered on the street.
Besides, in a public place they
also suffer.
Many tourists when coming to
Sapa in Vietnam for tourism feel
amazed with the custom of
capturing wives. Many people
are shocked to see the actions
people pull, violently clashing. It
was envisioned as kidnapping.
Solution
- Try to cross the street slowly
- Wait for the red light and then cross the
street
- Propaganda not to eat dog meat. But
today, Vietnam has a lot of places that
propagate no kindness to dog meat.
- Many articles have been written about
food poisoning caused by eating blood
soup.
- Together with the people, propagandize
not to throw garbage indiscriminately
- Organize garbage collection activities.
-  Before coming to travel, you should learn
about the customs here in advance and
understand it well to avoid having negative
thoughts.
- Prepare well mentally and try to look in a
positive direction
