Vietnam is a very exotic country for us and if you ask an average person on the street about it, you won't find out anything special about it. This place, located almost literally at the other end of the world, is extremely interesting for us, because its climate and culture are historically free from the influences that shaped our society, and modern Vietnam is constantly defending itself against globalism that means that every tourist resort anywhere the globe is almost the same. There you can find villages away from the hustle and bustle, where you can rest in peace and bustling large cities. Noteworthy is the history of Vietnam, whose traces can be found at every turn.
In Vietnam you can find traces of really many religions. Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism and Hinduism are among the most popular. Vietnamese Buddhism is characterized by emphasizing the social aspect of man as an individual, which is part of the community created in a natural way. Confucianism is not as common as it was a few hundred years ago, but in Vietnamese culture it is easy to find its remains - for example respecting the elderly, paying great attention to knowledge and artistic activity, and reverence to ancestors. Taoism focuses on seeking happiness and longevity, and a small percentage of the population profess it, as does Hinduism. Christianity came to Vietnam around the 15th century and about 10% of Vietnamese profess it.
The climate of Vietnam varies greatly from region to region. Thanks to this, you can visit the country at any time of the year! Of course, you must adapt the tour plan to the temperatures and rainfall in your area. In the north, average annual temperatures are lower and there are 4 seasons, and in the south the climate is tropical, hot and there are dry and rainy seasons. You will find more information HERE.
Describing Vietnamese cuisine is a real challenge, because Vietnam really has a few flagship dishes that everyone knows and loves, but they are made differently in almost every city! For example pho soup - wonderfully filling, strong, meat broth with noodles, meat and ... that's it. In the north (Hanoi is the capital of pho!) It is served with herbs in a soup, and you can season it with lime, chilli or garlic. In the south, you'll get herbs in a large basket and choose which and how much you want to eat.
Salty and sour flavors reign in the north, and chillies are scarcely used, spicy flavors dominate in the center, and the sweetness breaks in the south. Below are some of the region's most popular dishes that are worth trying.
Często pytacie nas co warto przywieźć znajomym z Wietnamu, dlatego poniżej załączamy listę najbardziej popularnych pomysłów!
Z Wietnamem kojarzą się na pewno stożkowe kapelusze – non la, jak i niedroga odzież – poza night marketami warto zajrzeć do krawców w Hoi An! W każdej części Wietnamu znajdziesz ręczne wyroby – od ceramiki, poprzez biżuterię, aż po popularne figurki różnego kształtu. Pamiętaj, że antyki i produkty pochodzenia zwierzęcego (szczególnie wszelkiego rodzaju skóry, rogi) podlegają zawsze specjalnym przepisom! Na pewno trafisz również na stoiska z winem ryżowym, jednak tu sugerujemy wybieranie butelek bez węży w środku – może pojawić się problem z wwozem takiej pamiątki do UE. Polecamy rozejrzeć się za odrobiną sztuki – obrazy, stare plakaty znajdziesz tu w dobrej cenie i długo będą przypominać Ci o wspaniałych wakacjach.
Dobrym pomysłem na prezent z Wietnamu są również produkty spożywcze. O ile z hermetycznie pakowanymi orzechami, kawą, herbatą czy przyprawami nie ma najmniejszego problemu – o tyle w kwestii świeżych produktów sprawdź aktualne przepisy, ponieważ w 2019 roku zostały one zaostrzone.
In Vietnam it is not difficult to move. Within the city, it is worth using taxis (Grab is the local equivalent of Uber, you can order a driver with a scooter or car), preferably on scooters - this avoids standing in traffic jams. The rail network is not very extensive and takes a long time due to stops at each station from north to south, so it is better to use buses (tickets can be bought at any office on site) or domestic flights (they help save a lot of time, and frequent promotions of local airlines allow you to hunt for a ticket at a good price).
