Does anyone know where I could find free graphics for the computer that have an Asian theme? I'm specifically looking for backgrounds that I could write over the top of. I'd love to have Vietnamese specifically, but Chinese would be good too
Thanks!

I suggest that you should go to the store asking direct to a salemguy, he probably know better than us in here.

What do you mean graphics for the computer that you could write on top of? You mean pictures that can be used to print out on paper to be letterheads?
If you're just looking for pictures with Vietnamese themes, some keywords to search for include (in Viet without and with accent marks and respective English...be sure to put them in quotes):
Clothings:
Ao dai
Áo dài
Vietnamese long dress
Non la
Nón lá
conical hat
Cities:
Saigon
Sài Gòn
Hanoi
Hà Nội
Huế
Da Lat
Đà Lạt
Nha Trang
Sceneries/Landmarks:
Chua Huong
Chùa Hương
Ha Long
Hạ Long
Thang Long
Ho Tay
Hồ Tay
Ho Guom
Hồ Gươm
Any other suggestions, guys?

Yeah I'm looking for like wallpaper. Okay I guess I should just tell you what I'm doing. We're making our own wedding invitations, and I was trying to find computer wall paper or something that had an asian theme to it like bamboo swaying in the background, or maybe set back Chinese characters etc.
Something that I could use for a backdrop, but I'd have to type the text over it. I did a search for Asian Wallpaper, computer graphics etc but everything I kept pulling up was about sex. It was really weird. Type in Asian wallpaper in google and see what kind of gross things you pop up lol.

Still looking? Check out Tranqui Sea's thread about Vietnamese Art:
