Okay So this is actually quite different than what we talked about is that the rudeness I think a lot of people think within Asian countries there's maybe some like level of rudeness or no concept of personal space which I think more so is about China

Matt Tran:
China as it was Okay It's worse it's very terrible out there I mean people do not give a fuck but out here at least there is some some respect to it so yeah I'll say that
Niall Mackay:
So make What one reason would you use to persuade someone to come to Vietnam One What's something you hear about Vietnam That's not true
Myke Nguyen:
uh there's a lot of people have perception that we don't have five star hotels that we don't have the proper city proper facilities to host uh big events uh or conferences or exposed uh when we actually do Um so I see a lot of people who do business come here and they're shocked They're like wow I didn't know you had a convention center or I didn't know You had a five star hotel that meets the same standard as you know international standard
Niall Mackay:

Flattened What's something you hear about Vietnam that's not true?:
What's something you hear about Vietnam That's not true I would say first off that you're I wouldn't of course this is coming from a place of privilege I don't really leave district one Benton or district two that much but My perception of a third old country is different than what people call when they say a third world country I'm like once I get the WiFi's really good here and it's comfortable It's not violent I remember growing up in DC I would turn on the TV and it'd be like oh shooting a blue high school shooting here shooting here shooting there And then they go to commercial break and then they'll be like okay well more shootings just like how many more shootings are they gonna have I've never felt scared for my life out here you know And when people think third world country they're thinking like Ooh that and this is like you know just trees are desert everywhere Like no this is a very nice comfortable place and everyone is friendly and it can get dangerous But you better that's you asking for it I remember the most dangerous thing I ever saw was like I think it was like world cup time or something It was a bunch of drunk British guys in a bar and ho and they slapped the staff or something and they oh my God like 10 workers came outta nowhere and have cattle prods you know like the electricity thing they use on cows They just I got warned with that when I first came in Vietnamese people love weapons and I've seen it on one online videos They will grab anything and they will use it Right But it not it provoked Well yeah I mean yeah not unprovoked like just walking about with weapons It's normally something has has escalated the situation but yeah they will grab anything Right That's what I realized even though I'm really big this is just like a defensive this is me I'm like the American military all these nukes these nukes right here I don't want to ever use them And I hold them so that people never approached me Cause I don't know how to fight self deterrence Deterrence is deterrence
