Vietnam, the full name of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is located in the east of Indochina Peninsula, bordering China in the north, Laos and Cambodia in the west, and the South China Sea in the East and south. It is a country with rich tourism resources. It is a blend of Oriental mystery and French romance, so Vietnam has become an ideal resort for many people. But if you want to have a good time in Vietnam, you must not forget these ten things.
1、 A unique way of crossing the road frog crossing the river
In Vietnam, it is very important to learn how to cross the road correctly, because it is likely to affect your life. Remember! When crossing the road, you must not wander, look around, stop, or look at the map. In short, everything that has nothing to do with walking can not be synchronized with crossing the road. When crossing the road, you just walk, and the pace must be stable.
2、 Vietnamese expressions of dog and cat meat
If you don't like to eat dog or cat, it's important to learn the Vietnamese expression of these two words. Th t ch stands for dog meat and th t Mo stands for cat meat. Although the Vietnamese government promulgated a law forbidding the sale and eating of cat meat in 1997, in recent years, Vietnam has smuggled a lot of cats from China and Laos, all over the streets. Remember, if the restaurant staff recommends exotic food to you, you should keep an eye on it. Otherwise, the exotic food waiting for you is the cat meat you don't like.
3、 Easy to confuse Vietnamese currency
A large number of denominations with different values make Vietnamese currency easy to be confused. Only by remembering the denomination of these currencies can you not spend 100 yuan as 10 yuan. The unit of currency in Vietnam is the Dong, one yuan is about 3505 Dong. Here's a small suggestion: when you arrive in Vietnam, you can record the denomination of the currency according to the color of the currency. For example, the blue currency is equivalent to 30 yuan.
4、 Correct pronunciation of Vietnamese national brand dishes
Learn the correct pronunciation of 'pho', a national brand dish in Vietnam, and you won't be hungry, because this dish is almost everywhere in Vietnam. This is a soup based on noodles. It's delicious. The pronunciation of this soup is' fuuh ', which is similar to the pronunciation of the first syllable of the English word' phenomenal ', but many people can easily pronounce it as' foe'.
5、 Bring seasonal items
In summer, Vietnam is hot and humid, so you don't have to wear jeans and other close fitting clothes. You can choose some thin clothes. In winter, it's quite cold in the north of Vietnam. You must take warm jacket and padded jacket. In addition, before you leave, you should listen to the weather forecast and take your rain gear with you in case of rainy season.
6、 Consult the price of private car, travel agency and tour guide
If there are only three people in your party, I suggest that you do not apply for group tour, but rent private cars instead. Because hiring a private car and a tour guide costs as much or less as a group. If you choose to rent a private car, you need to know the following information: departure time from the hotel, dining place, the number of attractions you can enjoy on the way, and the time to return to the hotel
7、 Beware of being blackmailed by taxi drivers
There are all kinds of taxis at Vietnam airport, but in order not to be blackmailed, you'd better book one directly from the hotel. You don't have to pay a toll when you take a bus, so if your driver asks you to pay a toll, you can refuse it directly. In addition, Vietnamese drivers do not pay much attention to traffic rules. When taking a car, you should always remind drivers not to talk on the phone when driving, because driving on the phone may lead to the driver taking the wrong lane and consuming more gasoline, which means you have to pay more for the bus. Most importantly, there are potential safety hazards when driving on the phone.
8、 The visa is valid for up to half a year
Remember! Your visa is valid for up to six months, that is, from the day you arrive in Vietnam, your visa is only valid for up to six months. If your passport is expired, it will cause you a lot of trouble.
9、 Access to visa
You can get a visa in three ways. The first way: you can send your passport to the local embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and you can get a visa in about a month. The second way: you can get a visa after you arrive in Vietnam, but this way requires you to obtain a letter of approval from the Vietnamese Immigration Bureau, and you must carry it with you. Third way: you can buy a visa from a registered agent for 380 yuan on the plane.
10、 Buy a local phone card
When you arrive in Vietnam, you should first buy a local phone card. If your phone bill is overdrawn, you can recharge it in a small shop on the side of the road. In Vietnam, you can still use some mobile applications (such as wechat). If you are connected to WiFi, you can still make free calls or send messages, but make sure that your data traffic is turned off, because even if you are connected to WiFi, some of your information still needs to be received through data traffic, which means that you are likely to overdraw the data traffic and cause a large loss of phone charges.
