Please do not mess with Vietnamese people if you do not want to become fish sauce

Important

Hi,

We, the useless-countryfacts community has decided to make a joint call on this topic, as this isn’t a political problem anymore, it’s a humanitarian one.

The war in Yemen has brought heavy consequences to the population, the biggest one: lack of resources. Cholera hit the country ten days after the sewersystem gave out, and the lack of food and medical assistance led to 80% of the people in great need of  humanitarian assistance and protection.

Out of 30.5 million Yemenis, 20 million are being haunted by hunger every day.

We want to change at least something, by showing you options for donation, as this is very very important and not overseeable anymore.

The UNHCR is providing the citizens with protection, humanitarian relief, medical supplies and more. Please consider donating, and if you can’t then please please reblog this.

Thank you.

One of the major cultural points that unify the Sinosphere is the historical usage of chopsticks. China started using chopsticks and then spread it to the neighboring countries of Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Vietnam would inevitably be the first to be spread to since it was part of China for centuries.

Every culture has their own pantheon of deities, but also ghosts and demons. Vietnam is no exception. Here are just a few of them.

Bonus:

Quỷ Một Giò: one-legged demon

Xà Niêng: a human-turned gibbon after getting lost in the forest

Hồ Li Tinh or Cửu Vĩ Hồ: nine-tailed fox

Quỷ Nhập Tràng: a zombie created when its corpse was not properly wrapped and a black cat jumped over it

Ghost of betel and areca garden

Danang Golden Bridge Vietnam. 🇻🇳

A pair of giant hands lift the ribbon-like Golden Bridge up in the air above Vietnam’s Trường Sơn Mountains. The shimmering structure emerges from the trees of Thien Thai garden in Ba Na Hills. Set more than 1400m above sea level, the bridge incorporates eight spans and extends 150m-long.
