cbrodzky Here is a small sampling of odd Vietnamese habits that I’ve observed while here:
1) They put big blocks of ice in all their drinks, including beer.
2) They wear socks with their flip flops.
3) Since they use small bowls to eat their food (versus big plates like we do back home), they dump the food they don’t eat on the table.
4) When you’re at the restaurant or cafe looking at the menu, the waiter/waitress will wait at your table until you’re ready to order.
5) They burn big piles of garbage and leaves ALL the time.
