Hi Rogerlz, Very Happy
Vietnamese is completely different from Chinese and Japanese because Vietnamse use alphabet with accent to write like French.
I think that it's hard for foreigners to learn, but I saw that many foreigners spoke Vietnamese fluently. If you are interested in Vietnamese, you'll speak it very well.Besides, you'll find that Vietnamese culture is really interesting.
Do you want to try once???????? Razz

If possible, it's better to learn Vietnamese here in Vietnam.
There are so many motorbikes in Vietnam. Vietnamese thinks that it's useful to ride motorbikes in the street because they are small and convenient.
Have you ever image a floating market? It's very interested. Especially, Vietnamese is really friendly and kind
Vietnamese food is very delicious especially "PHO". Have u ever heard this food? it's really well-known all over the world.

Ho Chi Minh City is also called SaiGon. It has existed for 300 years. Ho Chi Minh is also a national hero's name in my country.
My city is really dynamic. It is the economic center of my country. There is an area of foreigners nearly my house. I think that if you visit Vietnam, you will not miss this place because most of foreigners know this place when they come to Vietnam.
Besides there are so many places for entertainment such as clubs, restaurants, parks, cinema, shops, especially coffee shops for the young...
As I told you, Vietnamese is really kind and friendly. We are willing to help you. For example, if you are sad, we are glad to share your emotions.
Hey, why don't you tell me something about Costa Rica. I knew your country when I watched football. Razz

Our traditional food is the "Gallo Pinto" (rice whith beans), the casados (is a plate with a lot of things: beans, rice, chicken or fish, or anything that you want) I don't know how to explain this dish!!!! hahaha also there are a lot of things.....

Hi Rogerlz,
I will be willing to be a tour guide for you when you visit Vietnam. And I will remember to invite you to eat Pho. Don't worry about that. Razz
Oh, I love beach so much. I used to hear that American countries have so many beutiful beaches and Costa Rica is one of them. I used to watch them on TV.
I had a chance to taste "Gallo Pinto" once in a restaurant in Vietnam. It is very good. Very Happy
Rogerlz, how about the people in your country?

The people in CR are very nice... their are very sociable, and because the country is to small, the people are very united, the people lives very close to another peopleo, so there are a lot of interaction between the people!!!!

The beach in CR are exelent, the ambient of the party, etc.....
