And in other country, you can also find a least one man who is a heavy drunken, or violent husband. And there must be someone who get used to using bad language all the time.

I just want to say that you shouldn't conclue such bad things about vietnamese because those bad ones you met were just the minority. You shouldn't put all the things in the same bag, and supose that they are the same.

greencat!
i agree with u.i think the things rose listed is only a minority.It like the idiom "con sâu bỏ rầu nồi canh" of vietnamese.So we shouldn't consider it as habits of Vietnamese

hi Rose,
sorry to hear that u experienced so many bad things in the time u were here. as u know, the insult u got from that uneducated man cant count anything. it can be explained that he was jealous of you or might be drank as well.
sometimes, people do sth foolish, for they are human. its inenvitable that u might be overwhelmed by your men emotions. thats why everyone is not perfect both physical and mental.
therefore, someone might get the wrong idea about people with different identity and culture. men tend to form a stereotype in their mind to judge others. it might be a way for u to adapt to a new culture when u know sth about people behavior in a certain culture. however, its not always true, for sure. to judge or get to know sb, i think u should find a way to know him from his outside to his inside.

I've heard about this book. For me, I had some experience about this. Let me tell you. When I was in VN, I drove the motorcycle brand name is Wave Alpha which was imported from Thailand at that time and there were very few of them at that time. When I drove it on the street of Ly Thuong Kiet, one gentle man saw me and “hated” me. He did throw out the water from his mouth to my face and said in a bad language “D.M may, cho may bo cai thoi chay xe xin”. Oh god, I did not know what has happened to him? I did not know him and I did not do anything wrong. Another example is I used to wear hat when I was out and drove the motorcycle. If it was a windy day, then I lost my hat. Some days when I did a U-turn to pick up my hat on a street, two young gentle men was driving a Honda and laughing at me: “Your hat was with me, if you wanted it then followed me.” It was a terrible day for me. The hat was not costly and it was not belong to them. Why they took it? These are only the few things I can tell right now.

There are so many things to list about the bad habit of Vietnamese men. I can tell you some:
1) Say bad language when they open their mouth even they are well-educated and live in big cities.
2) Steal things from other people which any reasons. (both genders)
3) Drink too much alcohol and beer without stopping and become a drunker then drive motorcycle very fast.
4) Beat their wives and children with any reasons.
5) Etc…
Rose.

Dear Rosele,
I cannot feel sorry for you with what you experienced in VN. Is there something wrong with you, guy? You called the brutes "gentle" and "well educated" when they humiliated and robbed you? For me, I think they are just scums. With what they did, it is not habits but criminals

hey Hung,
cant u just show a little sympathy for what Rose experienced?
u know an educated person like Rose cant use any street language to describe those bad guys is normal. sometimes people in a certain community may not be influenced by the language. it means that though u are live in the bad community, u wont be affected with bad behavior or language if u are a determined person.
anyway, i think the bad behavior is resulted from the lack of education.

It depends on what kinda behavior we're talking about here also. A well-educated person wouldn't cuss, but he might do other things just as bad as cussing, or even worse. :roll:

Exactly. A well-educated person is more danger mind when he/she turns bad.

More than that, I'm confuse that they said the vietnamese students need tutor to teach at home.
I never think it's happening because all my Vietnamese friends are cool and execellent students at highschool, Vietnamese students're always in a top ten of school. This is a first time I heard Vietnamese students are stupid and need tutor...
I always see the Vietnamese is tutor to other students....
Moreover, the people around me have a good education, they finish college university and they have a job with high salary. I really don't understand what they said ???


TO haliepepu: even if we know the Vn is ugly. we can't change if the government don't want to change. ANd that change will spend a lot of time to make a new face for Vietnam ...

I think the government is only the instructors, and the fact vietnam can change or not depends on the consciousness of vietnamese.

WOw, I can not understand what the hell you are discussing about. You should think of changing yourself in a beeter way before thinking of changing the others. Sax, you must get to know where you did originate from.
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
