    When I saw the first picture and before I scrolled down to see the text below and the other picture, I thought the same thing: a copy of Thales Coast Watcher 100. Viettel is doing some serious work on radars, a lot of activity in that area,

    Right, talking about the Vietnamese alphabet and history and not knowing about chu nom sounds illiterate to me.

    A whole 1.5 months eating banh canh ca loc is not a little thing man, the DNA of the ca loc fish includes all the hidden knowledge of Vietnamese history, so after eating it for 1.5 months, you get a massive infusion of that knowledge and you become enlightened on Vietnamese history, imagine what...

    Not just banh canh ca loc, he spent 1.5 months in Danang and hangs out with overseas Viets of chinese origin, so he's an expert on Vietnam and Vietnamese history now. Wow, awesome!!!! Maybe he can also teach me about Spanish history.

    As I understand, many Vietnamese of chinese origin were living in Vietnam and after the 1979 war, many were expelled from Vietnam. Typical Vietnamese would not be speaking cantonese unless they are of chinese origin.

    Viet members can say better but I think is not that simple, this is what I read: "Sometime during the 10th century the Vietnamese adapted the Chinese script to write their own language and called their script 'Chữ-nôm' (southern script). The earliest known example of writing in the Chữ-nôm...

    I'm not a Viet and there are many issues here that would be much better answered by the Viet members, but as living in Vietnam I know a few things and to pretend to deny that lots of Viet people don't like / hate chinese only shows a shallow understanding of Vietnam. Its very unusual to talk...

    Of course they were influenced by China and by far, but to say that they don't know their history or that they only know their history from French translations or that much of their history was fabricated by the French and Americans is totally wrong.

    That's ok, I only know about the Vietnamese people of today and when I talked to them, most of them say they hate chinese and they give the reasons that I mentioned, so I was explaining that. Its better if there is less hate, that's for sure. Hey, aren't you the one that said: "I understand...

    Who said hate propelled by the French? I said that the new writing system was imposed by the French, they did away with the old vietnamese writing system and replaced it with the current one. How you change that to hate propelled by the French? I'm not promoting hate, but rather explaining why...

    I can't say for sure since I haven't seen those specific historical records that you mentioned, but I think what you call chinese language is actually the old Vietnamese writing system, which is not chinese, but actually Vietnamese, but it looks similar to chinese. The current writing system was...

    I know, most people understand that. It will take time to change that situation and a lot also has to do with the government enforcing the laws and rules, something that they are not doing much of unless there is some benefit to them. Example: People pee in the streets all the time, there are...

    Very true in many ways, typical Vietnamese people are quite nice and kind, but there are plenty of bad ruthless people and they prey on whoever is at hand. Lots of tricky people everywhere trying to rip you off and they are very visible to tourists such as tricky taxi drivers with fixed meters...
