I grew up in London which now days seems to be a central hub more many people, religions and cultures even though people know every little about the diverse ways of life. in 2009 i saved up like a stingy child so i could go travelling in 2010 to gather a greater understanding of the cultures i stumbled upon in London.
I lived on a ground floor flat with an old cat Dillon, I didn’t really know my neighbours as I rarely saw them but from their appearance I could tell they were Asian. Dillon used to spend the majority of his time in the flat sleeping and then one day he was very interested in waiting by the banisters for something, this was a bit odd I thought until I realised he was waiting to be fed by somebody.
I soon found out the people above were feeding him which got me talking to them in the first place, I was very interested in these reserved people so which changed my whole outlook on Vietnamese people. It wasn’t long before I realised how calm peaceful they are which inspired me to go on Vietnam Holidays so I could grasp a better understanding of the peoples reserved culture.
I discovered a new world in Vietnam and absolutely loved it, the country is so very different from the UK and way of life was generally alien to me. On my trip I spent most of my time in the northern regions of Vietnam which were extremely mountainous but i enjoyed the journeys to secluded villages. The Vietnamese people never in seem to be in a rush or look stressed as they live their lives at a relaxed pace and seem to understand more about their world then western society do. The people have impregnable customs and morals particularly towards visitors as I was made most welcomed by the villages I visited even though there was a superior language barrier.
I really enjoyed my journey to Vietnam and I will certainly head back next year as I felt I barely touched the basics of their culture.
