Vietnam<\/a> has a rich history<\/a>, which is filled with a lot of interest<\/a>ing events and historically significant achievements. Going to this country, you should first try to get to know its deep culture and life unique<\/a> even for this part of the vast continent. Let's try together to get to know this unique country better, and dwell on the most interesting facts<\/a> that not everyone knows about.<\/p>\n

Hello from Paris<\/a><\/h2>\n

It is no secret to anyone that the Vietnam<\/a>ese state was under the influence of the French colonialist<\/a>s for a long time. This could not but affect some local habits. For example, there is no bread as such. Instead, anyone can purchase a French baguette, which outwardly differs only in smaller sizes.<\/p>\n

This is the main component of local sandwiches, which, in addition to the French loaf, include a delicious filling of assorted fried meat, fish, vegetables and even scrambled eggs. Having tried this type of fast food, you will conditionally note one more reason to return to this distant Asian country.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Transport<\/a> in Vietnam<\/a><\/h2>\n

When you first find yourself on the streets of Vietnamese cities<\/a> and villages, the first thing that catches your eye is the almost complete absence of car<\/a>s. There are very few of them here due to the fact that the government has set a huge export tax on this type of transport. Few Vietnamese, exclusively from the wealthy class, can afford this luxury. But mopeds and bicycles on the streets – “a dime a dozen”.<\/p>\n

\"Interesting<\/a><\/p>\n

But the attitude towards pedestrians in Vietnam is surprising. This is almost the only country in the entire hemisphere where a pedestrian does not have not only advantages<\/a> on the road, but is not even perceived as a road user. Although, crossing the road even in the bus<\/a>iest place will not be difficult. One has only to slowly start moving to the opposite side<\/a> of the street, as you will notice that all mopeds and bicycles will diligently go around you.<\/p>\n

\"Interesting<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, do not be afraid of the orchestra of signals that break out of the horns of passing vehicles. I don't know how true this is, but there is an opinion that the local traffic rules even have a rule that says that every maneuver must be accompanied by a sound signal.<\/p>\n

A little about the economy<\/h2>\n

Vietnam is one of the top five rice exporters. Growing rice in this country is a very painstaking work. Peasants do not use agricultural machinery, almost all the work is done manually.<\/p>\n

\"Interesting<\/a><\/p>\n

Also in Vietnam you can enjoy even the most exotic types<\/a> of strong drinks. This is due to the complete absence of excise taxes on foreign-made alcohol. Even the most elite cognac or a bottle of wine will cost you almost nothing. In this regard, the country can only be compared with a huge Duty Free.<\/p>\n

\"Interesting<\/a><\/p>\n

Another national treasure of the country is simply an excellent selection of coffees. You can appreciate its taste in local cafes. Although many tour<\/a>ists who decide to buy a few packages home complain that they slipped a fake. Or maybe just the Vietnamese know the secret of making this drink?<\/p>\n

\"Interesting<\/a><\/p>\n

But the most important wealth of Vietnam can rightfully be called first-class silk paintings. Some of the masters' works are valued at simply colossal sums, up to several hundred Russian rubles! Experts consider such purchases to be the most profitable<\/a> investments of capital. After all, the cost of such paintings is constantly growing. Here is such a “Vietnamese golden sand”.<\/p>\n
