[Vnbiz] Cultural shocks - What facts about Vietnam that shocked you?

[Shane Wall]

Hi Nhung - long time no see!
If you go to www.vietnamletters.ning.com, you will see some short blogs 
that I have started writing. These are my own personal observations of 
"living in VN as a foreigner". The articles are supposed to be a little 
'quirky' and humorous, but they are also based on actual events/situations.

Feel free to use any of them, but I would ask for a published 
acknowledgment (the copyright is mine).

Cheers,

Shane
