The traditional dress "Ao Dai" gets more common when you go to the southern parts of the country. In Saigon it is very common. I think the commies forbid it after the war for some years and it hasn´t made a comeback on the north to the extend of the south.

I´ve heard many people complain about the Vietnamese: that they are impolite, rude, cold but I have quite the opposite experiences. I´ve always found the people to be friendly, smiling and helpful.

Can't believe they thought OMY was Steven Seagal, Seagal is much bigger
migrant, are you joking?
If you don't know him, OMY is 6'4" and goes about 365 lbs. He's been known to rumble right over obnoxious tailors blocking the sidewalk. :thumb:
Just joking, I don't know either!! But at the time I was reading the forum a Seagal movie was on, a current one where his stomach is larger than some of the people he's fighting.

:cheers:
