tell me something abt vietnam culture n life style of ppl there?

Answer 1

Any short explanation of cultural characterstics would do you a dis-service. It would also be a mistake not to distinguish between north, south and central, or even urban and rural lifestyles since it is developing rapidly. What they all seem to share is a strong sense of collective self, centered on family, so much so that I believe that strongly embedded westerners are somewhat limited in seeing the depth and meaning of this. Particularly given that the language does not distinguish between "I" and "You" or "he/she" like English or any other western language. As a result, instead of "you" people are referred to as brother/sister, mother/father, son/daughter and so on. When referring to yourself, you refer to yourself as mother/daughter and so on when speaking with another person. If you buy yourself a English to Vietnamese dictionary, it will link "I" with "toi", but if you ask a native spealker how often they refer to themselves like this, you will find it is rarely.

Anyhow, this is one small part of an answer to your huge question.
