EMPHASIS WAS PLACED ON SHARING THE CULTURE OF COMMUNIST NATIONS. BY THE 1990'S VIETNAM HAS SEEN A GREATER RE EXPOSURE TO ASIA. ANCESTOR
VENERATION AND RESPECT FOR COMMUNITY AND FAMILY VALUES AND HANDICRAFTS ARE IMPORTANT TO VIETNAMESE AS DRAGONS, TURTLES, LOTUSES AND BAMBOO.
HUMAN CHESS IS PLAYED BY PEOPLE IN AN OUTDOOR FIELD. THE SQUARES ARE IN THE GRASS. IT IS LIKE CHINESE CHESS. THEY HAVE CANNONS AND GUARDS.
THE VIETNAM HAVE MANY LANGUAGES AND THEIR VILLAGE OR COUNTRY ARE IMPORTANT. KINSHIP PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN VIETNAM. UNLIKE WESTERN CULTURE, VIETNAM CULTURES VALUE CLAN OVER FAMILY AND CHINESE FAMILY OVER CLAN.
THEIR WEDDINGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT EVENTS IN WHICH THEY CELEBRATE EASTERN ELEMENTS, IN THE PAST MARRIAGES WERE ARRANGED BY PARENTS AND EXTENDED FAMILY. THEY HAVE 2 MAIN CEREMONIES. THE BETROTHAL CEREMONY IS BEFORE THE WEDDING AND HER FAMILY.GETS BOXES, THE PRESENTS ARE NUTS, LEAVES, CAKE, FRUIT AND DOLLARS. THE PRESENTS ARE COVERED WITH PAPER ON CLOTH. FOR THE WEDDING CEREMONY

I TASTED THEIR CORN AND A RICE DISH, WITH SOME OTHER FISH SALAD. I BEGAN TO GET FULL. THEN THEY HAD WATERMELON AND VARIOUS MELONS. IT WAS AN ALL YOU CAN EAT RESTAURANT. SOME FOLKS ATE ONLY FISH AND ICE CREAM ONE CHINESE LADY SAID SHE HAD TO WORK 6 DAYS A WEEK.

EATING AT AN EASTERN INDIAN RESTAURANT
AT AN EASTERN INDIAN RESTAURANT I EXPERIENCED BELLY DANCERS AND OTHERS OF EASTERN INDIANS ENJOYING SPICY FOODS AND WHITE RICE WITH FORK AND CHICKEN. THEY DO NOT EAT BEEF. HOWEVER, I HAVE HEARD THEY HAD GREAT FOOD. ANOTHER EASTERN INDIAN RESTAURANT WAS BETTER. BOTH HAD SPICY FOOD, BUT VERY DIFFERENT SPICES. IT ALSO HAD SLIGHTLY LARGER PORTIONS. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS CLEANER BUT LACKED BELLY DANCERS. THEY HAD INTERESTING DESERTS.
CHINESE CULTURE
THE CHINESE CULTURE IS THE WORLD'S OLDEST CULTURE. THEY HAVE 56 DISTINCT ETHNIC GROUPS AND HAN CHINESE ARE THE LARGEST GROUP. THE HAN HAVE THE REGIONAL TRADITIONS. EACH REGION HAS THREE ANCESTRAL ITEMS. THEY HAVE CHINESE PROVERBS SUCH AS THE WIND.
EACH DISTRICT COVERS A LARGE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA AND IS DIVIDED INTO SUBCULTURES. ANCIENT CITIES HAVE SPECIFIC DISTRICTS.
DIFFERENT PERIODS HISTORY WERE ORGANIZED INTO HIERARCHICAL SYSTEM OF C;LASSES. THE VALUES WERE FROM TAOISM AND CONFUCIANISM IS THE OFFICIAL HISTORY OF IMPERIAL CHINA AND WAS ENTRY INTO BUREAUCRACY.
EXAMINATIONS AND A CULTURE OF MERIT REMAIN VALUED IN CHINA TODAY. DURING THE 20TH CENTURY THEY'RE EXPERIMENTING WITH ALL NEW SYSTEMS FOR ORGANIZATIONS. THEY HAVE MANY DIALECTS IN REGIONS.
CHINESE RELIGION WORSHIPS A SUPREME GOD. SHANG DI IN VARIOUS DYNASTIES IS REVELED. MUCH OF THEIR CULTURE WAS BASED ON THE NOTION THAT A SPIRITUAL WORLD EXISTS. THEY HAVE A BLURRED LINE BETWEEN MYTH, RELIGION AND OTHER PHENOMENON. THEY HAVE MANY DEITIES - LIKE BUDDHA. THEY HAVE OTHER CO0NVEPTS. ALONG WITH THE BELIEF THAT THERE IS SOMETHING HOLY AND SOMETHING EVIL. SOME FORTUNE TELLING RITUALS ARE IN USE TODAY AFTER 1000'S OF YEARS. THE ERA OF ZHOU DYNASTY IS OFTEN PART OF CHINESE CULTURAL DYNASTY.
THEY HAVE A WRITTEN MANY INTELLECTUAL STUDIES COVERED WITH SUBJECTS SUCH AS ASTROLOGY, CALENDERS, CONSTELLATIONS AND POETRY. CHINESE CONCEPTS SUCH AS YIN AND YANG AND PILLARS OF DESTINY IN RELATION WERE HEAVEN AND EARTH. THEY WERE THEORIZED IN DYNAMIC PERIODS.
BY THE 20TH CENTURY MILLIONS HERE WERE ILLITERATE. TODAY THEY HAVE MANY DIFFERENT DIALECTS AMONG THE REGION. PEOPLE FROM VARIOUS REGIONS DON'T UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER.
CHINESE MUSIC DATES BACK TO WHEN THEIR CIVILIZATION STARTED. ARTIFACTS OF WELL DOCUMENTED CHINESE MUSIC WAS FOR ZHOU DYNASTY 1122 B.C. THEY USED MANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS INTEGRAL TO CHINESE CULTURE. SUCH AS THE OCARINA, A CERAMIC OR BONE INSTRUMENT FOR WIND. ZITHER WITH A MOVABLE BRIDGE, A FLUTE, FIDDLE, AND MANY OTHERS.

DIFFERENT CLASSES HAD VARIOUS CLOTHES- YELLOW OR RED AND IT IS RESERVED FOR THE EMPEROR OR HIGH SOCIAL CLASSES. MANY SYMBOLS AS THE PHOENIX WERE DECORATIVE AS WELL AS ECONOMIC. DURING THE QING DYNASTY THERE WAS A DRAMATIC SHIFT IN CLOTHING OCCURRED. THEY USE MANY SYMBOLS SUCH AS A PHOENIX.
THEIR ARCHITECTURE IS OVER 2000 YEARS OLD. IT HAS BEEN A HALLMARK OF THEIR CULTURE. THEY LIKE SYMMETRY AND A SENSE OF GREATNESS TO THEIR PALACES.

MY DAY AT PETALUMA FAIR
I DECIDED TO GO PETALUMA AND TAKE A DAY OFF. IT WAS AN INTERESTING FAIR AND IT WAS COLD AND WINDY COMPARED TO SANTA ROSA. THEY HAD A SPECIAL DOG ACT WHERE 12 DOGS CAUGHT FRISBEES THROWN IN THE AIR. IT WAS NOT CROWDED THAT DAY. THEY HAD A MAP OF THE GROUNDS AND I HAD TO ASK ABOUT TO FIND CERTAIN SPECIAL AGRICULTURAL FAIR EXHIBITS. ONE WAS A KENESTHETIC AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT WHERE YOU J=HAS TO GUESS WHAT THE VEGETABLE WAS IN THE BOX BY FEELING IT. THIS LADY LIKED MY NATIVE AMERICAN HIKES TOO! I SAW SO MANY NATIVES WITH TATTOOS! ONE GUY FROM PERU HAD BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, YET HE KNEW NO ENGLISH!
THEY HAD A LARGE ART DAY AND GUITARS EXHIBIT. SOME WERE HAND STITCHING THEIR QUILTS! I SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL. ONE BOOTH WAS SELLING NATIVE INDIAN JEWELRY. THE MAN KNEW HE WAS PART CHEROKEE. I TOLD HIS WIFE SHE WAS PART NATIVE TOO.
THERE WAS A STRANGE CHEESE CONTEST. IT WAS OK AS WE TASTED SOME OF THE ENTRIES. IT TOOK ME MUCH TIME WALKING TO FIND THE CONTESTS AND SHOWS. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE THE EXHIBITS WITH VECTORS. I HAD A SPIDER BITE THAT I THOUGHT WAS A TICK. I ASKED THEM WHAT TO DO WITH HOUSEHOLD SPIDERS, THEY SAID YOU COULD USE PESTICIDES. I SAID I'D JUST KILL THEM.
I WATCHED A 4HEVENT AND THEN I WATCHED A PYGMY GOAT JUDGING CONTEST. I HAD NEVER SEEN PYGMY GOATS. SOME OF THE KIDS WERE TRYING TO CONTROL THESE ANIMALS.
SOME FOLKS CLAPPED AS THEY WON RIBBONS. WAY DOWN BY THE COWS I FINALLY GOT AN ICE CREAM FOR FREE! THEY HAD AUTOMATED MILKING MACHINES. SOME KIDS KNEW THE DAIRY QUEEN. A CLOWN DROVE A FUNNY MOBIL.
THEY HAD A VENDOR SHOWCASE ALL KINDS OF STRANGE SALESPEOPLE. ONE GUY TRIED TO PUT ELECTRODES ON MY BACK AS A MASSAGE- I WAS TOO SENSITIVE TO THAT. ANOTHER DEMO WAS LIKE A ROCK AND ROLL MACHINE THAT VIBRATED TOO ROUGH.
THEY HAD A REALLY SOFT BED AND IT SANK SO LOW I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WOULD SLEEP IN IT. SOME INDIANS WERE EATING SO MUCH JUNK FOOD, AND FEW FOLKS WERE MY AGE... MOSTLY OLDER FOLKS WERE HERE AS IT WAS SENIOR DAY.
I WENT BACK TO A CHEF DEMO THAT HAD A GAL SAY TO BUY GOOD FOOD FROM FARMERS MARKETS AS THE VEGIS ARE GOOD FOR A LONGER TIME..IT WAS WEIRD HOW SHE MADE A STRANGE WATERMELON SALAD WITH BASIL AND OLIVES! SOME KIDS WERE RIDING AN EXPENSIVE PONY RIDE FOR $7.OO DOLLARS. I WENT TO THE PETTING ZOO WHICH WAS FUN AND SAW THE BABY WALLABY!
THEY HAD A LARGE ART DAY AND GUITARS EXHIBIT. SOME WERE HAND STITCHING THEIR QUILTS! I SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL. ONE BOOTH WAS SELLING NATIVE INDIAN JEWELRY. THE MAN KNEW HE WAS PART CHEROKEE. I TOLD HIS WIFE SHE WAS PART NATIVE TOO.
