well... many ppl out there just hate vnmese to the max except the ppl on this thread.
I guess we all hold the same perception before we got there. Before i made my first trip to VN in 2002, i hold the same idea. `War-torn country' `rundown' etc are all that was on my mind before going. But after going there a few times, my perception changed. One thing is their upbringing is very much different from us, thus they hold very different ideas on variety of issues.
