Things I’ve ONLY seen in Vietnam 😮

The ancestors: Who the f*** keep sending me fake money!!

[linhdanbui]

As a vietnamese i can confirm that it is true but the reason your head touches the roof on the bus is because you are way to tall, us vietnamese are quite short.

Burning incense paper is quite common practice in many Asian countries

That “fake money” is more like “afterlife money”. It’s a common tradition in china as well where you burn money during somebody’s funeral or anniversary. It also extends to other things like “fake cars” or “fake houses”. You also burn incense sticks to send across any message or wishes that you may have. Its also common to place a warm meal near the grave for the person to eat in the afterlife.

Fun fact: after the Vietnam War, they kept the guns left behind. There’s about 1 million M16s in storage, and they actually modified a lot of them.

Fun fact: The reason the boats are bowl shaped is because the tax on importing bowls is lower than the tax on importing boats, so they just made them bowl shaped to classify them as bowls 😂

Just a minor thing: I don’t think everyone offer the gods wine. In south of Vietnam where i live it is only 3 cups and mostly tea. Guess gods around here is more health focus. 😅 At least as far as I concern most of the places I been visit so far that is how it goes.

Guys the fake money is a form of real money in the after life, the money cant be used here but can be used there

Vietnam didn't wanted to become communist, but it was only the communist who supported Vietnam independence.

[PrinceRightyI]

Vietnam is like a chillest communist country, nobody even think it's communist. 😂

[brokenordinance]

Vietnam is a gorgeous country with an extremely welcoming populace from what I’ve seen. Even after all the hardship they’ve been through, they’re still extremely friendly and open to foreigners.

I have a communist flag at home, Hammer and Sickle posters and a picture of all the Soviet Presidents.

[RovinTan]

thats not the kitchen god, thats the god of the land. and the kitchen god you spoke about is technically the stove god who protects againts kitchen fires.

[vmvengsub]

Native Vietnamese here. Those buses are truly nightmarish.

[swecreations]

I absolutely love the idea of those buses, wish you could have those here.

[yuzen]

For those military kids who saw the Communist flag and started screaming, North Vietnam was socialist and supported by the USSR. Very similar to the Korean War, where the north was controlled by socialists and the south was controlled by capitalists. The communist flag is represented by the USSR, but dosent always mean it.

*Bro goes to a communist country*
Bro;- "THERE'S COMMUNIST FLAGS ALL OVER"
😂

[Khenxhin]

Vietnam when a person speaks English:😊👍

America when a bush starts speaking Vietnamese:💀

[valeriepvi]

Beautiful nature, country rich in traditions and etnic groups ; genuinely kind and delicate people; huge varieties of fresh seasonal fruits and vegs and lovely food - that is the most important about Vietnam! Everything else are just details.

[kuroshin]

Come to Communist country and ask: "Why are so much communist flags?"
