A little thing about my business in Vietnam

It is often said that Viet Nam is a little China. In my opinion, most people who say these words have never been to Vietnam, and their understanding of Vietnam is limited to simple information in the news media or word of mouth from China people. Either exaggerate the facts of Vietnam or belittle Vietnam too much. Although I haven't lived and worked in Vietnam for a long time, it's been a while. Whenever I see that the topic about Vietnam on the Internet is full of inaccurate or inaccurate content, I really want to write some of my own understanding and feelings for communication.

Vietnam and China are separated only by a strip of water. In ancient times, most of Vietnam was attached to China or belonged to China. After Qin unified the six countries, in 2 14 BC, it sent troops across Lingnan, occupied today's Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian, and conquered the local Baiyue tribe. The Qin Dynasty immigrated a lot in this area and established three counties, in which the northern part of Vietnam (Luoyue) was under the management of Xiang County. I don't want to write too much about the specific historical changes, but I have caught a lot online. Vietnam still uses the county administrative unit. The administrative unit below the famous Ho Chi Minh City is the county, which is equivalent to our district level.

20 16 In early May, my partner and I flew to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam by China Southern Airlines. Johor Bahru International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City is quite modern, but it is smaller than I expected, but its geographical location is excellent. Located in Xinping County, Ho Chi Minh City, about15km away from the city center.

My partner Jeremy and I took a taxi to the hotel. Along the way, just like in the ocean of motorcycles, few cars drive slowly on narrow roads. There are three or four-story buildings on both sides of the road, with different heights and uneven planning!

? "Why is this place so bad?" I said with a frown.

? "Come on, get used to it! When I first came here, I was as unaccustomed as you. If only there were a few more! " Jeremy said disapprovingly.

? "Will there be business in this place?" I muttered to myself. . .

I wouldn't have come if Jeremy hadn't tried to seduce me with Vietnamese beauty. Thinking about thinking about the line of sight, I turned to the beautiful woman sitting on the motorcycle next to the car. Vietnam is located in the south of the Tropic of Cancer, with high temperature and rainy weather and a tropical monsoon climate. The average annual temperature is about 24℃, and the average annual rainfall is 65,438+0,500 ~ 000 mm Ho Chi Minh City is rainy and humid, but it is sultry when the sun shines. Therefore, most girls need to wear masks and sun hats when they go out, and they all like to wear tight skirts, and their bodies are graceful. Although I can't see their faces, they have made people think.

"Here we are. Fuck, what are you thinking?" Deep in thought, I was suddenly punched hard by Jeremy and pulled my thoughts back.

"I'm going, I'm looking at beautiful women!" It's a little depressing to be beaten by him suddenly. It's not good to see beautiful women in such a broken place!

I got off the bus and looked up at what Jeremy called a four-star hotel. Can this be called a fucking four-star hotel? Can any budget hotel in China exceed this four-star rating? But soon I felt different.

Just as we were about to carry our luggage up the hotel steps, a man quickly stepped down from the door, smiled and nodded to us, and then carried our luggage in. When we arrived at the door, a doorman opened the door for us. After entering the hotel lobby, I really saw the face of the hotel. Although the door is simple, the decoration inside is not simple at all. The Cantonese decoration style looks like entering the back garden of a big family in ancient China, with small rockeries, fountains, mahogany tables and chairs, and even a few red lanterns hanging, which is refreshing and quiet, as if two worlds are separated by a door.

After checking in, the doorman who helped us with our luggage also came to the room to help us put our luggage away. He politely greeted us and was ready to leave. At this time, Jeremy stopped him, gave him 50,000 Vietnamese dong and thanked him. Then the boy in the back door thanked him again and again, closed the door and left.

"I went, I didn't expect you to be quite a gentleman!" I smiled and joked:

"This is not China. It's easy to tip here. "

50,000 VND is almost 15 RMB, neither more nor less.

"When did tipping become popular in Vietnam?" I asked him puzzled.

"Probably a habit formed after French rule! But you don't have to give it, but if you give it, it will be much more convenient to do things in the future. " He explained to me.

Generally speaking, the same is true. In addition, Americans also had a brief rule during World War II, so these factors probably contributed to the concept of tipping.

Then I remembered Jeremy's phone.

I began to look at the room. The four-star room is very small. Two beds occupy more than half of the room. There is only room for a small set of tables and chairs. The cabinet is close to the door, with large glass windows and no openable windows. What makes me a heavy smoker? But even if there is, there is no way to smoke, non-smoking room! The bathroom area of the whole room accounts for about 1/3, and there is a big bathtub where you can take a comfortable bath. Generally speaking, the room is small, but it is well decorated.

When I was still looking at the room, Jeremy smiled cunningly and said to me, "Jackie, I'll take you to have a flower meal tonight." ,

? "What flower rice? A corpse feast? " I asked curiously.

? "I will know when I go, but I can't say it clearly now."

? When I was in China, I heard him tell me something here, especially some flowers and rice. I'm curious, since I'm here, I must go and see it! What kind of flower rice is it?
