My Idea of the People
Wherever you live, you have an idea of the people we are living with. In France i would say they are hypocrites cartesian skeptic and immature people. That is hard but i can say whatever i want cause i am french and free (Double F).
But about the vietnamese it’s different, i will not say it’s better. Sometimes it’s worst than in France but sometimes better so let’s highlight the “good” and “bad” behavior.
Before i Start
We’re not perfect, and that is a fact. I’m not perfect, nobody’s perfect. So whenever we talk (about anything!) we are wrong because we’re not perfect (that is a fact). Perfect means you’re all, you know all and do all kind of things.
But let’s see humanity as a whole where human beings are not perfect, but if you take all the people of this planet and make 1 person with all the spirit, mind, experiences and souls of all those people. Well the guy that came out of that would still not be perfect in my opinion!
Yet, it’s by learning from our mistakes and observing the other people that we know where we are not good at.
And also it’s when we see the truth even if it is ugly awful that we evolve in some higher spiritual places. Life is a spiritual thing and i will always think that, but that’s another subject which i will not go into now.
So about the vietnamese people Hum Hum Hum
To understand the vietnamese people. You’ve to understand where they come from. SO who are those people?
Vietnamese fought for a thousand years against chinese oppression. They’ve been murdered, they’ve been to many wars, and there was never a time when the vietnamese people were actually ‘free’. They have been colonized by France, the Mongols, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Americans etc … and still! They ‘won’ all wars.
We can’t actually say they won, if they were colonized it means they lost somehow.
I think vietnamese are natural people. Like the chinese, they see money as a game, remember what i say here. Vietnamese people do not want your good feelings or friendship, they want your money.
I defy anyone that lives in Vietnam more than 2 years to tell I’m wrong.
They will try to deceive you or create a fake atmosphere whenever you’re about to buy something. If you go in Vietnam you got to negotiate! You have to low down the prices, they will not do that for you, you might love that game too but i don’t.
They are also like that with each other, not only with foreigners. So those people are sharks to each other, there weapon? The smile!
Here i talk about the smile again!
Vietnamese smiles, they are very smily, oh yeah! They smile a lot. It might look good at first. But you don’t know why they’re smiling, for instance if you go buy shirts and trousers at a little vietnamese shop in the Ben Thanh Market, they will smile! Because of your $$$!
Whenever they smile when you’re about to buy something, it’s for your Cash! It’s for your money!
You don’t need to buy gifts to vietnamese, just give them money. You can have any wives you want if you have money. You can have all drugs and all kinds of things here with money, you can corrupt the cops or even corrupt anyone for just a few dollars. This is the reality about Vietnam, they are all sharks trying to get on each other, and keep reading.
The Good Side of the Vietnamese People
This is not only in Vietnam that we live in a world of Sharks. The whole world is a world full of sharks or wolves (whatever concepts suits you best). All i’m trying to do here is to give you new concepts of something you’re not aware of (if you never been in Vietnam), and for the others that been here i’m trying to be as factual as possible.
Can you imagine those people greedy? Hunger of money. Or do you imagine them differently, like humans and friendly? What would be your idea of that?
One of the major problems (not really a problem) is that we can’t know what they think. We don’t know if they are smiling for this or for that till you deal with them and see by yourself.
But with my experience i’d say those ladies smiles are pure and not fake, they are not dollar thirsty bastards. But if you live in cities like Saigon and Hanoi (cause those pictures are taken in the far ass of Vietnam up in Sapa northern Vietnam), and you want to buy stuffs and all, you will see what i mean. BUT! (And keep reading)
They are no different than us
It’s not in Vietnam that you will find the most professional liars or deceivers of all time but in Europe or America.
I hope it was instructive for you. Sorry if it was shocking, it is not my intention.
