LET'S NOT GO INTO POLITICS IN THIS THREAD, JUST A POLL AND WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST REGION IN VIETNAM?

My parents are saigon natives...

Mama is a BK '54, Dada is a Southern gentleman, me--born in Sai Gon. I would like to say Sai Gon is the best but that would be bias, I'm sure there are other places in Viet Nam that deserve my attention so I would like to say the whole country.

I'm from Saigon (haha not from Ho Chi Minh City).

I'm from Nha Trang.. anyone from Nha Trang??....

Da Nang rules Vietnam!

I am also from Sai Gon/Ho Chi Minh City.

anyone from Ha Noi?

Da Nang beach.

Sure it does!

Im from Phan Thiet ...any1 know where that is???

Phan Thiet is on DAI_VIET's map: it's east of Sai Gon and Bien Hoa.

im from prake rasey, kampuchea krom haha j/k. alright im from can tho. anh sinh ở khách sạn can tho.

no one's from west vietnam?

probably not, but i'll ask wildkhmerbuddha if he knows anyone there. I'm from Saigon too

Đà Lạt !

South Vietnam

It does! It's right at the center of Vietnam, the heart of Vietnam is in Da Nang.

LOL... no the heart of Vietnam is either Hanoi or Saigon. One is political and the other is economical. Don't over magnify Da Nang's significance... even though I think you want to... ahahaha

Hey, that's where I came from though. I love Da Nang more than any where else in this world.

LOL that was just a tease... but same thing goes for me, Saigon is my centre of the universe.

Nice pic. Are there more South Vietnamese girl around like that.

My mom says that's where they make fish sauce.

Anyway my mother was born in or near Saigon.

I think Phu Quoc island makes nuoc mam (fish sauce) more than anywhere else.

By the way, Cel, you're 14? Don't you have school?

I'm thirteen and sthe school day has ended. It's 3:46 now.

-Norm

i'm from west Vietnam! Long Xuyen baby!
i'll tell you it's a pretty charming city

Then why didn't you vote? Are there a lot of Khmers there? Or mostly Vietnamese?

i don't really know, since i left the country at the age of 6. But generally places like Tra Vinh, Can Tho, Soc Trang,,, have a lot of Khmers.

Da Nang

My mom is from Rach Gia my dad is from uhmm some where in the north... dunno

Woo hoo!

I'm from Hanoi, near Ho Hoan Kiem, what about u?

The south....the old Saigon.

Mum was from the North but lived in the south for most her childhood.

Good mix, best of both cultures. Do you speak southern or northern accent. Most south people can speak northern accent, no problem. It is much harder the other way.

delete

You like Northern better?!

My mum can speak like that lol, she speaks with a southern accent but if shes around too many people from the north, it slowly creeps back in.

Shes orginally from the north, my dad, around cental as well actually.

I'm from Vung Tau though

Well then it is not hard to sound Northern. Northern people are very poetic; they are smooth talkers alright. Probably how your father won your mother's heart. But southerners like to be plain and simple, just as the accent and a slight difference in language and vocab usage. Thus they tend to be seen more open and honest, without, the chinese language puts it nicely, guest's air (khach sao) (I think it is Chinese origin; I may be wrong)

delete

Some of them taking it too far by putting z in everything and it comes out too guest air. I think a little mix of both is very good and correct too.

It depends where they're from, there is not really a Central accent. People from Quang Tri sound a lot different than from Hue or Qui Nhon

delete

I'm from Nha Trang

I was from Qui Nhơn.

My Dad is Hue, my Mom is Southern, ..but my dad move to the South after he got release from the reeducational camp....and Sadec is my hometown...

SADEC baby.hehhe

Dad is from Quang Ngai and mom is from Hue. But I have more of the Da Nang accent?? lol

My mom is from Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh city as some would like to call it) and as for my dad...he's not Viet.

But anyways, my mom grew up in the country-side (where they still have a Southern accent) but after a few years, her family moved to Saigon because of my grandpa's job.

most of viet in usa are from the south

I am from Cholon South Vietnam.........
