History, Vietnamese culture and people habbits.

The rich history of Vietnam, provide a lot of rituals and habbits that make of vietnamese people a very particular one and, also give them lots of architectonic structures and the traditional Pagodas. They have a very rich language, poetry, festivals and religions. One of their most popular festivals turns around rice, the base of their meals. All that festivals include fantastic and traditional clothes, very bright and colourful, a lot of meditation, believes and a clear religious part. Colombia has all that rich culture too, obviously in their own way. We have many different types of sub-cultures, natives and traditions. Representative festivals and exotic meals.
