Vietnam

The culture of Vietnam is a concoction of the cultures of China, neighbouring Cambodia and France. Although situated in the south-eastern part of Asia, Vietnam had been under Chinese rule, and hence its culture is very similar to that of China. It is mostly regarded to be a melting pot of the migrants from China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea due to this. The rulers in Vietnam then went on to acquire other parts of the Khmer regime, thus assimilating elements of Cambodian culture as well. The colonial influence of the French is also seen in Vietnam through the use of the Latin alphabet, rise of Catholicism and the prevalence of bread and pastries in food.
