Ah I know him,the german guy is a leftist. Always ready for a revolution ha ha ha.

When the vietnamese want to go out, they ask "want drinking a coffee?". Coffee becomes a slang for going out and hanging around.

How is it written in Vietnamese "want drinking a coffee?". Singapore "drink coffee" is also used in nearly the same way but its really going & have coffee. Its also a metaphor for being investigated by police, government, or tax authorities. Something like, " Police invite you to go drink coffee".

That's interesting, Hong Kong friends say the same about "ICAC invites you for a coffee".

Ha ha ha I know that is the Asian way: drinking tea and relax. Vietnam is probably the only country in Asia that has very strong coffee culture. Very much similar to Europe.

Lots of cafe houses at every corner in every city of Vietnam. People go there for coffee. Not tea.

In my humble opinion Vietnam is not the only in asia that has very strong coffee culture, many country in asia has strong coffee culture long before europe colonial era in asia such as, in Arabian peninsula cultures.

In Indonesia, coffee is part of our culture, finding coffee cafe/shop is very easy when you visit cities in Indonesia, from traditional one to the modern one. We have several kind of one of the best coffee in the world, from the cheapest to one of the most expensive coffee in the world.

Every region has its own coffee-drinking culture to offer. Locals in East Java are accustomed to drinking coffee using saucers. They like to sip their coffee from the saucer, so as to cool down the hot liquid.

In Yogyakarta and Central Java, kopi tubruk is very popular. The term, literally meaning '€œcollision coffee'€, is derived from the coffee-making process itself '€“ the collision of coffee powder, sugar and hot water into a hot beverage. It is actually '€œmud'€ coffee that blends ingredients from several regions, mostly Java and Bali.

On Sumatra Island, Lintong and Mandheling are among the most popular variants. They come from the traditional Arabica variant cultivated in North Sumatra. Going to South Sumatra, you can sample a nice Lampung Robusta.

In Aceh, coffee is an inseparable part of everyday life. In the province'€™s capital, Banda Aceh, coffee shops can be found in almost every corner of the city serving Aceh Gayo '€“ the local Arabica coffee harvested from plantations in the highlands of Central Aceh.

Bali has quite a few good coffee beans worth a sip. Here on the famous Island of Gods, coffee is also used as part of a religious ritual, presented as a sesajen (offering).

Going to Toraja, South Sulawesi, you will find excellent Arabica coffee grown in highland plantations. Let'€™s not forget the famous kopi luwak, the most coveted civet coffee grown in Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi.

For most of Indonesians living in rural areas, part of the coffee-drinking tradition is to serve the drink, as a choice over tea usually, to guests. Warung are still a popular venue as coffee hangouts among rural people.

'€œHanging out in a coffee shop is now an urban lifestyle. Coffee shops are meeting points for youngsters to hang out and even executives to have business discussions. So, the businesses are outdoing each other presenting not only their rich variants on the menu, but also the atmosphere.

Google Translate have it as "Do not drink coffee", wtf. But I get to hear its voice read out. Thks. I guess they don't want to give coffee bad connotations as its one of your cash cow.

Too bad.
We should plant a lot in our southern part.
It's not easy. To grow cafe plants you need to fulfill three conditions.

A good fertil ground, mild climate, not too hot, not too cold, enough rains.

Just joking, you know. I don't think coffee is a daily necessary. In the soutern part, it's better to plant rubber or fruits.
