Industrious, proud, and resilient the Vietnamese are quick to laugh and are welcoming to foreigners. Their deep respect for tradition, family and the state reflects core Confucian principles. There seems to be a mix of being open to globalisation whilst the impact of communism remains strong. Traditionally, Vietnamese life has revolved around family, fields and faith, with the rhythm of rural existence continuing for centuries at the same pace.
