Etiquette Guidelines
Vietnamese are generally tolerant and easy going citizens. Please try to avoid political discussion and remember that the national hero "Uncle" Ho Chi Minh enjoys near divine stature and any impertinence shown to his name or memory can be extremely offensive.

• Do not point with your feet
• In the company of monks or elders, never cross your legs
• Do not touch people on the head or upper body
• Do not shake hands with monks or nuns as people in general rarely shake hands; rather, smile and nod
