Vietnamese are mostly Buddhist, but there are lots of Catholics due to the French missionaries during the colonial days. My family migrated to the US after the war and I was very young. I understand the language and can still speak it, but I agree, it is very tonal and sometimes it's hard for the native speakers to understand me when I speak it.

I hope Vietnamese leadership will reverse course on this and ban covid shots. Vietnam is a beautiful and l fell in love with the people. I was just a kid during the Vietnam war but became a reconstructive surgeon and

would do free cleft pallet surgeries in Vietnam and India through Interplast and operation smile. Like Dennis as much as I loved the people and food the heat and humidity were insane. I guess you just get used to it.
