Vietnam oddities

Everything on a motorbike. Amazing what they would carry. I even saw a motorbike pulling a cart with a 2 cows in it. A diff with over 200 ducks.
In Hue they would take their shoes off to enter a shop
They use a 24letters latin alphabet that a Portuguese missionary created in the 17th century to translate the Bible in Vietnamise. The French adapted it to write the Vietnamese language. They use 5 tones (accents) as they call them incl. the ? over a vowel. For example: pho with a ? is the soup they eat, but pho without means road.
They spell coffee Ca Phe (2 words).
They have amazing traffic lights that show the number of minutes remaining in red or green. Very helpful to driversLæs mere
