loss of face?

having spent almost 2 years in Vietnam I can say I have some knowledge about the ubiquitous face value of one person in here.

This one deals with outrage in public which is considered loss of face. Embarassement largely needs to be avoided at all time.

However I get amazed by the sheer public outrages you can see but also on the web.There fore what we read about the general warnings on how to deal with loss of face..well it’s not always that way…

I have seen this scene numerous times and it amazes me that people don’t intervene.But then what can I say we in Holland also have this moral problem.. better to look away then be sorry for your life??

Food in Saigon

is probaly less appaling then some of the Hanoi food.Trust me I like most of the food but some it raises my neck hairs.

what I found though for the Indo food lovers some kue lapis and wingko babat version here in Vietnam.

hic hic as my gf would say after eating some bun nuong(grilled beef)
