Fascinating insights into an amazing culture

I am perhaps not the obvious demographic for this book - although perhaps, on second thoughts, I am the ideal! But as somebody who has worked and traveled extensively in Vietnam, I found this fascinating. It lifts the lid on what, for many Westerners, would seem odd or unusual customs; it provides context, explanation, and insights that not only make sense but are really easy to follow. I loved the explanation of culture and history and how that has led to the customs. There are some important toips on what to do and what not to do as well.
So, if you are traveling to Vietnam or even just interested to learn more because you have a lot of the Vietnamese diaspora in your neighborhood this is an invaluable resource

Great book with an impressive range of information

A long time ago I had a friend that went on holiday to Vietnam and he never wanted to come home. Since then I have met a few people who have fallen in love with it, so this book caught my attention. And it didn’t disappoint - I felt like I finally had the chance to go there.

It’s hard not to to be impressed with the centre that family and ancestry has in day-to-day life and the teachings of Buddhism. It’s such a beautiful way of life. The tips here on how to greet elders and then the other cultural things we should keep in mind so that we provide the respect when and where it’s due.

The book, of course, covers it's long history but it also provides almost everything you would need to know to either vacation or to live and work there. It’s a complete guide that includes everyday phrases , etiquette, food, customs and even festivals. It also tells us about the meaning of our body language, how to dress, greet and how and when to use informal name titles and how to bow or when to shake a hand. I really enjoyed it, loved 'meeting' the people and hope to get there soon!
