Hi there. I'm trying to learn more about Vietnamese culture and am falling short. Can you help me with some information? 
 Sure, I am happy to assist you with information about Vietnam culture. We should start with the fact that Vietnam is a country in South Asia. Vietnam's culture is centered around ancestral villages, which are called lang. All Vietnamese mark a common ancestral anniversary on the third lunar month, on the tenth day. So that's how they connect with their ancestry. 
 Interesting! Are there any other ancestral traditions that are celebrated there? 
 Yes, in fact there are. Another ancestral tradition has to do with their marriage ceremonies. They have elaborate ceremonies that are so popular that even ex-patriot Vietnamese celebrate weddings in their new countries. 
 That sounds beautiful. I think I've seen a these wedding traditions before. Is there anything else you can share about the culture? 
 Yes, there is. Like many other counties, in recent years, the influence of Western culture has become popular among the younger Vietnamese generations. 
 Sounds like a lot of their culture is preserved through their youth. I wonder, is there anything interesting about etymology that you can tell me? 
 I don't have information about the etymology, but I can tell you that the northern region of Vietnam is influenced by Chinese culture. The Buddist religion has a strong influence on its culture. 
 What else can you tell me about that? 
 So, for more than a thousand years, the northern part of Vietnam was under Chinese rule. So you can see how China has affected that area. 
 Yeah that's good to know I had no idea. Thank you so much for all of the information. This has been helpful. 
 You're very welcome. I hope you were able to answer some questions about Vietnam. Have a nice day!
