For my post I found ten interesting facts about Vietnam that caught my eye. Maybe some of you had seen these before but for me these just surprise me how different the rest of the world is. As I’ve mentioned before I’ve never journeyed farther than North America so I’m already starting to find a little culture shock just when researching the different places we are going. Hope someone else finds these interesting as I did.
1. Vietnam is the largest exporter of cashews in the world, and the second largest exporter of rice.
2. Instead of bells, traditional gongs are used to call the Vietnamese children to school.
3. Although Vietnam is a developing country, it has a literacy rate of 94%.
4. Among all developing countries, Vietnam has one of the lowest unemployment rates.
5. You can find a B52 American Bomber Wreck in Vietnam’s West Lake.
6. An estimated ten million motor bikes travel on the roads of Vietnam every day.
7. Ruou ran (snake wine), a Vietnamese specialty of rice wine with a pickled snake inside, allegedly can cure any sickness.
8. The most common surname in Vietnam is Nguyen.
9. The Vietnamese keep potbelly pigs as pets.
10.The Vietnamese language has six different tones. A change in tone changes the meaning of the word. This makes their language somewhat difficult to learn.

I was really shocked when I first went in 2014 when I found out about their traffic rules. Apparently, anything goes. Here’s a youtube link I think you need to watch to get what I’m talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4phFYiMGCIY
The first five I didn’t know about and I’m especially surprised about the B52 Bomber still in their West Lake…
