国际机构的职员出差或旅游前会收到有关部门的提示，注意入乡随俗，尊重当地文化。联合国机构曾介绍过到美国、中国、日本、法国等地的注意事项，今天说说去越南的16点提示。
 

 
 
到越南的“一般性文化注意事项”有6点：
（1）When invited to a home, bringing a gift of flowers, fruit or tea would be appreciated but not expected （接受邀请去主人家做客时，如果带类似鲜花、水果或者茶之类的礼物，主人会很高兴，但不是必不可少的。）.
 
（2）Usually a gift will not be opened in front of the giver （一般来说，收礼者不会当着送礼者的面打开礼物）.
 
（3）Do not feel uncomfortable if there are long periods of silence between you and your hosts. The Vietnamese consider silence an appreciated form of communication and a way of enjoying the company of others（如果在做客时与主人之间出现沉默状态不必感到尴尬，越南人认为沉默是值得欣赏的一种交流方式，享受他人的陪伴）.

（6）Christmas is not a public holiday, but it is widely celebrated by Vietnam's Catholic population. Cards and gifts are widely given, but not expected（圣诞节不是公众节日，但越南的天主教徒教人口会进行广泛庆祝。可以送贺卡和礼物，但不是必不可少）.
 
“商务文化注意事项”有10点：
 
（1）It is customary in Vietnam to shake hands (using both hands) upon greeting and before leaving, though some Vietnamese women may be inclined to bow their head rather than shake hands（在越南，见面和分别时用双手握手致意很普遍，但部分越南妇女在打招呼时习惯颌首而不是握手）.
 
（2）A slight bow of the head while shaking hands may be used to show respect（握手时可以轻微垂首表示尊重）.
