I enjoyed listening to Dr. Du speak. It was very interesting to hear the different perspectives that people in Vietnam have according to education, family, and relationships. They really have an emphasis on family. Their family continuously lives with them in the same house until death. It really puts things in perspective of how important relationships among family members are. Also, he explained to us the differences in relationships. They do not have a "Valentine's Day" because they do not believe that they should buy expensive gifts to say 'I love you.' One should always show to their loved one that they love them.
Overall, it was hard to understand Dr. Du, but it was very interesting to hear what he had to say and the differences in culture between the United States and Vietnam.
