Here are a few interesting facts about Vietnam that you probably did not know before reading this!

 

Motorbike is the main way of transportation.

 

In most countries, cars and public transportation is the most common way to get around, but not here.

There are more than forty-five million registered motorbikes in the country, which means that half of the population own their own motorbike!

 

That is also one of the reasons for the slightly “chaotic” traffic, which is not so chaotic once you get a hang of it.

The roads are filled with motorbikes, which can be intimidating when you try to cross the road. But Vietnamese traffic etiquette is that you just walk, and the vehicles will move to the side. 

 

White skin is a beauty standard in Vietnam

 

Just like in many other Asian countries, the thought of white skin as pure and beautiful is something that lies deep within the Vietnamese beauty standards.

Women and men try to avoid the sun, if possible, in order to avoid getting a tan. Today, many beauty products sold also have a whitening effect. 

 

It is the second largest coffee producing nation in the World

 

Vietnamese coffee is delicious, and traditionally it is served and made as in the picture below.

Did you know that Vietnam is the second largest coffee producing nation? Only Brazil produces more coffee annually! 

 

Flag of Vietnam

 

The Vietnamese flag was designed in 1940 and was used in the uprise against the French.

The star in the middle symbolizes the five main classes of the society, which are intellectuals, farmers, workers, businesspeople, and military personnel.
