An interesting fact I forgot to mention on the Canada Day post - last year 9200 people ran in the Terry Fox Run in Ho Chi Minh city.
So a couple Vietnamese myths to dispel. The majority of the students here have either never tried or do not enjoy eating dog so it is very uncommon. Dogs are actually kept as pets here as back home and I have seen several different breeds.
The designer surgical type masks people wear around here, especially by women, have nothing to do with pollution or sickness. It is so they will not tan as lighter skin is desired here. They also wear socks, sweatshirts and sometimes gloves while biking for the same reason.
