(Britain vs Vietnam) HOUSING I Housing in UK: Overview - Attitudes to houses In the past (according to figures in 1993) According to “Housing and Saving 1993, Technical Report and Tables” (1993) and “Savings in Britain” (1993) 81% of all respondents regarded owner-occupation as their ideal tenure compared with 12% for council renting and 4% for private venting Although young people in their late teens or early 20s may well be renting privately and be happy to continue in that tenure for a few more years, they would wish within a reasonable time to be owner-occupiers The overall result was that 85% of all adults expressed owner-occupation as being their expected tenure while 9% preferred council renting and just 1% private renting Surveys on housing satisfaction have shown that satisfaction is greatest in the owneroccupation sector where 94% were satisfied with their housing and an insignificant number said they were very dissatisfied Dissatisfaction is greatest in the council renting sector One would expect dissatisfaction to be related to variables such as income and type of house - At present time: Research in 1993 has forecast the trend in attitudes to housing in the UK Despite some changes in attitudes of people in the UK, the aspiration of owning a home would take up a significant proportion in housing Until now, almost everybody in Britain dreams of living in a detached house, that is, a house which is a separate building The saying, 'An Englishman's home is his castle' is well-known It illustrates the desire for privacy and the importance attached to ownership which seem to be at the heart of the British attitude to housing A large, detached house not only ensures privacy It is also a status symbol People in Britain want to own a "stately home" set in acres of garden Of course, such a house is an unrealistic dream for most people But even a small detached house, surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people Most people would be happy to live in a cottage, and if this is a thatched cottage, reminiscent of a pre-industrial age, so much the better Most people try to avoid living in blocks of flats Flats, they feel, provide the least amount of privacy In central London, flats are the cheapest kind of home The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else Only 20% of the country's households live in flats of any kind Private property and public property The image of a home as a castle implies a clear demarcation between private property and the public domain This is very clear in the case of a detached house Law and custom seem to support a clear separation between what is public and what is private For example, people have no general right to reserve the road directly outside their house for their own cars The castle puts limits on the domain of its owner as well as keeping out others It also limits responsibility It is comparatively rare, for example, for people to attempt to keep the bit of pavement outside their house clean and tidy To emphasize this clear division People prefer to live in houses a little bit set back from the road This way, they can have a front garden or yard as a kind of buffer zone between them and the world They can have low fences, walls or hedges around them The importance of “home” Despite the reverence they tend to feel for 'home, British people have little deep-rooted attachment to their house as an object or to the land on which it stands It is the abstract idea of 'home' which is important, not the building This will be sold when the time and price is right and its occupiers will move into some other house which they will then turn into 'home' - a home which they will love just as much as they did the previous one But the houses themselves are just investments An illustration of this lack of attachment to mere houses (as opposed to homes) is that two-thirds of all inherited houses are immediately sold by the people who inherit them even if these people have lived there themselves at some time in their lives Another is the fact that it is extremely rare for people to commission the building of their own houses, (Most houses are commissioned either by local government authorities for poorer people to live in - or, more frequently, by private companies known as 'property developers' who sell them on the open market Comparison Britain Private and This is very clear in the public case of a detached house property Law and custom seem to support a clear separation between what is public and what is private Vietnam In urban areas in Vietnam: + Flats are prevailing and chosen by dint of lack of land area and expensive living expenses + Public property is protected and managed by the government from security to cleaning However, people sometimes use public property for their own aim such as parking, selling In rural areas in Vietnam + The close between private and public property People comfortably use public and private poverty and protect the public city together by cleaning road, growing flowers It is believed that protecting public property is a great way to keep their private property safe The importance of home The British have little Vietnamese especially in rural areas tend deep- rooted attachment to live in a stable home for most of their to their house as they lives and rarely move to consider the houses In the past, houses showed the value and themselves as investment tradition of family They are meaningful things At present time, houses are also considered as assets and standard value of life Individuality and conformity Flats don’t give enough privacy and scope for the expression of individuality However, not everything about housing in Britain can show individuality Most houses are built by organization, not individuals so people can get similar to any house on the estate That is the reason why everybody wants to build an extension to their house or even garden shed to make a difference with other single houses Individual self- expression by: + Colour of front door and window frames + Design of front garden Comparison Britain Vietnam In the UK, whole streets, even neighborhoods are built the same because: Terraced housing was put together, it is literally identical to its neighbors and they have a small footprint and are cheap to maintain because of the commonality In detail, Vietnamese houses are quite different but on the whole, they all seem part of a total mess because the Vietnamese want to have their own house so they don’t want to design their house like anyone’s house Interiors: The importance of cosiness British houses have a reputation for being the coldest in Europe as they are old and not so well insulated Dometic comfort: importance of cosiness (an atmosphere which seems warm) over aesthetic concerns British people like the cosy atmosphere in their houses They not focus on the background of the house because they usually use cheap items, massproduced furniture and so on Tradition is part of cosiness (such as the open fire) which can be suggested by being surrounded by old items of furniture In the past, people used it to keep warm so it is the perfect traditional symbol of warmth Most older houses have two general living rooms: the front room for formal visits, the back room for family members and close friends However, most modern smaller ones have only one living room with two doors: the front door and the back door The back door is for family and close friends only Owning and renting: Most British people not ‘belong’ to a particular place, nor are they usually brought up in a long-established family house Wherever they are, they like to put down roots House prices are high => mortgage system by ‘building societies’ + About 70% of all the houses in Britain are occupied by their owners and almost all of these were bought with a mortgage + Almost all owned by people who have borrowed 80% of the price Mortgages are available from building societies, banks and other financial institutions The proportion of ‘owner-occupiers’ tends to increase more than ‘council tenants’ and ‘tenants from private landlords’ in numbers Housing associations, which are non-profit making, are now the main providers of additional low-cost housing for rent and for sale to those on low incomes and in the greatest housing need The housing association sector is expanding rapidly and providing homes for well over a million people Before the end of the 20th century, most working class people lived in rented accommodation This is the opposite of Vietnamese people Vietnamese people always want to own their own house This is because The British have little deep- rooted attachment to their house because house just is an object Vietnamese people always want to have a stable life, and they attach great importance to their home, their homeland Homelessness Homelessness is a condition of human beings that describe the individuals to reside without a permanent dwelling It is obvious that individuals who are homeless are not able to get and maintain a safe, regular, adequate and secure housing The main reason is a lack of affordable housing, poverty, unemployment or low wage earning, their income does not meet their needs Britain Vietnam － There were a quarter to a half a million homeless people in Britain Government street counts and estimates give a snapshot of the national situation The latest figures showed that 4,751 people slept rough across England on any given night in 2017 - a 15% increase compared to the previous year, and more than double the amount in 2010 － Last year 57,890 households were accepted as homeless in England In Scotland, 34,100 applications were assessed as homeless and in Wales 9,210 households were threatened with homelessness － There is no national figure for how many people are homeless across Vietnam This is because homelessness is recorded differently in each nation, and because many homeless people not show up in official statistics at all － However, according to the Human Rights Watch, there were approximately 23,000 homeless children in Vietnam in 2006 This is a complex issue that needs government measures both in the UK and in Vietnam II Compare types of house in Vietnam and UK Compare types of house in Vietnam and UK In Vietnam Rural house This type of house serves farmers’ families, which are often found in agricultural settlements in small rural villages Each small farmer family lives on a separate, closed campus City Villa Homes are surrounded by gardens and access to nature in many directions (3-4 directions), often built on the periphery of the city or alternately in large blocks far from the center Homes (adjacent block) The narrow plots are close together so that the main house is also block each other, only the ability to create garden in front and back The house only has one or two directions of natural contact Single apartment This type of house is sharing corridors and stairs Each family lives in a self contained apartment, located along a corridor or surrounded by a shared staircase It ranged from one to three floors, the other stacked up the other In UK In the UK, there are several typical house types such as flat, and houses, as you can see on the slide Besides, there are a few different types of houses cottages : it is a small, rather old house, commonly found in the countryside These sorts of houses can have either one or two storeys, with the second level usually being smaller than the ground level Bungalows: This type of home is quite unique It is a single-storey house and is also detached from other houses It is a shorter-looking house due to a lack of a second or third level However, occasionally, bungalows have a room or two based in the ‘roof’ Mansions: This house is the most expensive out of all the different types of houses in the UK This is usually a place full of rich residents The typical mansion consists of multiple large rooms, many floors and a huge garden, composed of many acres of land From the information we have had, it can be seen that the basic similarity is that the houses in the city are more comfort and spaciousness due to the smaller space in the countryside In addition, the type of housing in Vietnam and in the UK has a clear difference In the UK, maybe due to a better quality of life, the houses are mainly aimed at spaciousness, comfort and environmental friendliness, most of which have large or small premises In contrast, in Vietnam, rural areas tend to build houses more similar to those in the UK, with a very large yard and garden, sometimes with long alleys leading to the house depending on the terrain In major British cities, these types of houses are still maintained quite a lot, however, in big cities in Vietnam, apartments are the preferred type of apartment because of the crowded land, the demand for Land use is increasing, so apartments located in many high-rise buildings become more 10 common FOOD AND DRINK I Introduction As we can see, a wide and varied cuisine is developing in Britain today, no more we suffer under the image of grey boiled meat! After years of disparagement by various countries like Britain now has an enviable culinary reputation British food has always been multicultural, a pot pour of special styles Traditional British cuisine is substantial, yet simple and wholesome We have long believed in four meals a day British eating habits are very specific British cuisine is full of terrible-overcooked vegetables, greasy sausages and boring sandwiches Britain suffers - often unfairly from a reputation as a country where the food is bad Much has been written and said about dietary disasters such as "chip butties", or culinary calamities like "deep-fried chocolate bars" – reputedly popular in the northern parts of Britain In Britain there are a lot of traditional pubs which serve tasty meals at very good prices If you want to try something exotic, British supermarkets are full of diverse ingredients such as sauces, pasta, cheese, fruit and vegetables While Britain is not traditionally famed as one of the world's greatest gourmet nations, British food is often underrated More and more the British have to work hard and have no time to prepare their meals on their own They often chose fast food restaurants to have some snacks such as hamburgers or sandwiches If they decide to stay at home they prepare meals in microwave, which isn't quite healthy III Attitude to food 11 British food has no similar taste to others in the world It's not because British food has so many strange flavors that no one can adapt right away, yet the food has almost no taste at all We talk about vegetables For example, dishes related to vegetables are often cooked very soft and pale Eastern cuisine, represented by Vietnam, towards "aesthetic culinary concept", expressed by the habit of evaluating dishes by color, taste, form, dishes, and prioritizing palatability Vietnamese people cook using many ingredients with common and similar flavors Therefore, it can be seen that the characteristics of the dishes here are always very rich in flavor In the society - Typical British dishes are usually roasts that are already roasts that are not easily served in overcrowded places or in restaurants that require fast preparation Moreover, from the British point of view, food should be eaten hot, which is also a difficult thing to in crowded places The fact is people just want to eat up quickly and are not interested much in quality - It can be said that this have neither a "restaurant culture" nor a "coffee society" like Vietnam - Coffee in the UK is also “terrible” It's not that the British want it so bad like that, but they simply go to the coffee shop not to sit and sip, watch the cup of coffee drip and admire the scenery around They go to coffee shops just because they need coffee - Vietnam has had a "restaurant culture" and a "cafe society" for a long time - For Vietnamese people, from the agricultural lifestyle, eating is very important Because you have to eat to have the strength to work It's so important that Vietnamese people can't take the quality of meals lightly - Vietnamese people love their own style of enjoying coffee People enjoy coffee while working, when meeting discussing with partners, when chatting with friends and relatives Coffee plays a big role in the life and work of each Vietnamese 12 - More and more Britons are cutting down on meat in their daily meals, and the movement has even been named flexible vegetarianism Flexible vegetarians are vegetarians who are mainly vegetarian but not completely cut meat out of the menu The number of Britons who eat less meat has increased by 2.2 million in the past two years and now makes up about half of the UK's population - In the Vietnamese concept, vegetarianism is to avoid killing karma, to cultivate compassion, to love all species is also to love and cultivate oneself Vegetables are traditional vegetarian food and cannot be absent from all meals Eating out Britain Vietnam - In Britain, going out for a meal is almost always done to mark an occasion: a birthday, a reunion, an anniversary And they love going to restaurant for dinner out - In the U.K, you get what you’re given and if you don’t like it then you can jolly well go and eat somewhere else - In my view, in UK, people have the habit to eat fast food which contain a lot of fat and make them sometime fat or obese Those foods are the most popular in the UK Britain is eating out more frequently now, not just on special occasions as in the past The choice of restaurants has also 13 - It was usually the way to celebrate an important event in a family- anniversary, increased salary, etc Today, when the modern era has moved into numerous homes in cities of Vietnam, eating out has become a part of the lifestyle of wealthier families - As modern life leads to less time and interest for cooking, eating out is on the sharp increase Due to busy work time, consumers often choose fast food, so we cannot get a satisfying meal full of nutrition - These restaurants in Vietnam range from inexpensive fast-food diversified over the last few decades - Eating places which serve British food: pubs, ethnic restaurants, fish and chip shops • Pubs: are everywhere in cities and serve traditional meals like steak, Kidney pie and roast dinner places to expensive, formal places that serve elegant food in an elegant setting - Eating places which serve Vietnamese food: · In Vietnam, restaurants are one of the places where people can enjoy dishes from every corner in Vietnam and in the world as well There are two types of restaurants: traditional restaurants and modern ones · Street: Eating on the street is such a popular habit that Vietnamese people it usually Everywhere on the street we meet food stalls, street vendors Perhaps it is one of the reasons why Vietnamese streets are always crowded with sellers and buyers · Bar/ club: Generally speaking, pubs and bars are new types of eating have come into Vietnam recently Vietnamese people often use “local cafes” to refer to them · Markets: Going to market people not only buy what they like but also enjoy assorted dishes Food here is quite cheap With a little money, market-goers can enjoy the market’s flavour • Ethnic restaurants: are extremely popular in Great Britain You can find Greek, Chinese and Italian restaurants everywhere • Fast food outlets: more common, comfortable They offer quick meals at low prices, and are always full of young people • Fish and chip shop: also provide quick meals of fried fish and fried potatoes called chips You can eat in the shop or take it away 14 What British people eat? The first meal of the day in the morning is breakfast (usually eaten between about 7:30 and 9:00) Many people around the world seem to think Brits usually eat traditional Full English Breakfast (also known as fry up) for the first meal It is understandable because this is one of the most popular dishes of Britain The English fry up consists of back bacon, eggs (fried or scrambled), sausage, grilled tomato, fried mushrooms, fried black pudding, baked beans, toast, and, of course, a cup of tea or coffee These days, however, a typical English breakfast is more likely to be a bowl of cereal, for example, cornflakes or muesli with milk, or porridge (a mixture of oats, hot milk and sugar); a slice of toast; orange juice or a cup of coffee Many people have a tea-break at about 11:00 in the morning (a.k.a elevenses) Lunch is usually eaten between about 12:30 and 2:00 Many people eat a sandwich (also known as a butty or sarnie) Some people have a simple meal such as cheese and biscuits or soup and bread A ploughman's lunch is a traditional lunch for farmers: a bread roll, Cheddar cheese, Branston pickle and salad, perhaps with a pork pie A Sunday roast is a traditional meal eaten by a family at Sunday lunchtime The Sunday roast traditionally includes roast potatoes accompanying a roasted joint of meat such as roast beef, lamb, and assorted vegetables Pudding and gravy are often served as an accompaniment Tea-time is a small meal eaten in the late afternoon (usually between about 3:30 and 5:00) People may drink tea, and often eat biscuits, cakes or savory foods such as sandwiches, crumpets or tea-cakes High tea is a light meal eaten in the early evening (for example, o'clock) served with a pot of tea; this is popular in north England and Scotland Supper is the most common name for the meal eaten in the evening (usually between 7:00 and 8:30) A typical British meal for dinner is meat and two veg This is a meat dish served together on the same plate with two types of vegetable, one of which is often a type of potato There are also five traditional British meal for dinner, they include Roast beef, Fish and chips, Pie and chips, Shepherd's pie, and Toad in the hole Firstly, Roast beef is served with roasted vegetables, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, and covered in gravy Secondly, Fish and chips is possibly the most popular and identifiable English dish The fish is usually cod or haddock which is deep fried in 15 batter, and served with chips and mushy peas Thirdly, Pie and chips includes popular pies which are steak and kidney or steak and ale, and it is served with chips Fourthly, Shepherd's pie is made from minced lamb covered with mashed potato with cheese on the top, and served with steamed vegetables Lastly, Toad in the hole is made from sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, served with gravy and roast vegetables As mentioned above, British people like to eat out Most towns have an Indian restaurant, serving foods such as curry and chicken tikka masala Chinese restaurants are also very common; popular dishes include sweet and sour pork and aromatic duck Many people like Italian pizza and pasta dishes Fast food restaurants often serve beef burgers or fried chicken British people enjoy eating snacks between meals These include sweets and crisps In comparison, Vietnamese food is known to be both healthy and robust in flavor Vietnamese food is more various, flavorful than British food The main ingredients used in Vietnamese food are rice and its derivatives, fish sauce and vegetables The foods in Northern Vietnam are often less spicy than those in other regions, which is not bold in any certain taste but subtly combining different flavors including salty, spicy, bitter, sweet, and sour Vietnam Central, by contrast, is especially well-known for spicy food Being the former capital of the last dynasty of Vietnam, Hue often produces colorful decorative food considerably influenced by the ancient Vietnamese royal cuisine In Southern Vietnam, foods are likely to be more vibrant and flavorful, especially sweeter than those in the northern and central regions Typical Vietnamese breakfasts usually have Pho, Rice Vermicelli, Glass noodles, sticky rice, Vietnamese bread, rice flour steamed rolls, porridge, balut, and Vietnamese banh While it may be common for Westerners to grab a quick bite and call it lunch, for many Vietnamese, lunchtime is a special time of the day Vietnamese can have a family meal or eat out for lunch Some of common lunch dishes is Rice and side dishes, Com ga xoi mo (chicken rice), Cha ca la vong, Banh xeo (Sizzling cake), Bun dau mam tom (Vermicelli, fried tofu and shrimp paste), Bun cha (Vermicelli and grilled pork), etc Vietnamese dinner usually has a family meal A typical meal for the average Vietnamese family would include: Cooked white rice; main dishes to eat with rice, for instance, seafood, meat, tofu; sauteed, boiled or raw fresh green vegetables; a clear broth with vegetables and often meat or seafood or other kinds of soup; dipping sauces and condiments depending on the main dishes, such as fish sauce, tamarind sauce, soy sauce, mixed of salt and pepper with lime juice or mixed of salt and chili; 16 small dish of relishes, such as pickled eggplant, pickled white cabbage and pickled papaya; desserts, for example fresh fruits, drinks or sweets III Drink Alcohol & Pubs * Alcohol Over the last century, the overall amount of alcohol consumed per person in the UK has risen and fallen repeatedly Since reaching a peak in the mid-2000s, consumption has been falling steadily – especially among young people Today, average consumption per adult is about 9.7 litres of pure alcohol per year – or about 18 units a week - Attitude of people with alcohol: The attitude to alcohol in Britain is ambivalent On the one hand, it is accepted and welcomed as an integral part of British culture The local pub plays an important role in almost every neighbourhood and pubs, it should be noted, are predominantly for the drinking of beer and spirits The nearest pub is commonly referred to as 'the local' and people who go there often are known as 'regulars' Even getting drunk to a certain extent is acceptable As long as being drunk doesn't lead to violence, there's nothing to be ashamed of On the other hand, the puritan tradition has led to the widespread view that drinking is something potentially dangerous which should therefore be restricted, in terms of both who can it and where it can be done Most people, including regular drinkers, consider that it would be wrong to give a child even half a glass of beer For many people, drinking is confined to pubs - For most of the twentieth century, pubs operated under strict laws which limited their opening hours These have recently been relaxed Moreover, many more types of shops now sell alcohol than previously However, this lessening of the negative attitude to alcohol has been balanced by increasing concerns about its impact on health and safety - By law: People cannot be served in pubs until the age of eighteen and they are not even allowed inside one (unless it has a special children's certificate) until they are fourteen There are government-sponsored guidelines which state the maximum amount of alcohol it is advisable for people to drink in a week without endangering 17 their health Although millions of people pay little attention to these, the general feeling that alcohol can be bad for you has increased Moreover, the laws against drinking and driving have been strengthened and are fairly strictly observed - Who is drinking? Around 20% of the population don’t drink at all – and this figure is increasing among young people in particular Among those who drink, patterns of consumption vary enormously: + Higher earners are more likely to drink than those on lower incomes + Older people are more likely to drink regularly + Men are more likely to ‘binge drink’ than women (though this is less the case among the young) Most of the alcohol sold in the UK is bought by people who drink heavily Indeed, the very heaviest drinkers – who make just 4% of the population - consume around 30% of all the alcohol sold in the UK It has recently been estimated that about a quarter of the profits made by the alcohol industry arise from these very heavy drinkers While youth drinking has been falling steadily, consumption among older people has not changed at the same rate People aged 55-64 are more likely than anyone else to drink at higher risk levels, and are least likely not to drink at all Drinking patterns also vary by gender Historically, men have consumed more than women and this remains the case today However, the difference between genders has narrowed considerably in recent years, so that among younger drinkers the amounts consumed is similar, in some cases, higher among young women * Pubs (Public houses) - Unique: This is not just because it is different in character from bars or cafes in other countries It is also because it is different from any other public place in Britain itself Without pubs, Britain would be a less sociable country - Nowadays, pubs have become less distinctive They used to serve almost nothing but beer and spirits These days, you can get wine, coffee and some hot food at most of them as well.This has helped to widen their appeal At one time, it was unusual for women to go to pubs.These days, only a few pubs exist where it is surprising for a woman to walk in - The difference of pubs: 18 + The pub is the only indoor place where the average person can comfortably meet strangers, and get into prolonged conversation with them The atmosphere in pubs is classless + There is no waiter service If you want something, you have to go and ask for it at the bar To British people, to be served at a table is discomforting It makes them feel they have to be on their best behaviour But because in pubs you have to go and enjoy your drinks yourself, it is more informal You can get up and walk around whenever you want, like being in your own house This 'home from home' atmosphere is enhanced by the relationship between customers and those who work in pubs It is also helped by the availability of pub games (most typically darts) and, frequently, a television + The idea of tradition: Each has its own name, proclaimed on a sign hanging outside, always with oldfashioned associations Many are called by the name of an aristocrat, a monarch, some traditional occupation, rural associations For the same reason, the person who runs a pub is referred to as the 'landlord' (always a man) - even though he is a tenant Nearly all pubs are owned by a brewery What people drink? (Britain vs Vietnam) Alcohol Britain Attitude Vietnam The attitude to alcohol is Attitudes ambivalent: negative: lean more towards the - Alcohol is accepted and - Vietnam is one of the largest alcoholic welcomed as an integral part beverage consuming countries in Asia of British culture - Drinking alcohol causes many health - The puritan tradition + the consequences and is a cause of traffic negative attitude to alcohol accidents 19 Place Types - Pubs - Expensive restaurants - Along the sidewalk or at every street corner - At home - Cafes, bars, restaurants, at home - Wine -Ruou nep, a liquor distilled from glutinous rice There were numerous variations: corn wine, sorghum wine… - Beer: + “Bitter”: draught, has no gas, a comparatively low - Wine is soaked with other ingredients with health benefits: wild honey, snake, alcoholic content ginseng + “Ales”: bottled beer, are - Fresh beer, bottled beer also available in most pubs + “Lager”: has gas in it People - People over 18 years old - The legal age in Vietnam is 18 years - Both men and women drink old Meaning people under 18 cannot but men still make up the buy or legally drink alcohol majority - Both men and women drink but men still make up the majority Meaning Relaxation entertainment and - Relaxation and entertainment - Rice liquor was one of the traditional offerings to deities and ancestors -Rice alcohol was also used therapeutically in Vietnamese traditional medicine * Some other popular drinks Tea Britain Vietnam 20 Tea drinking habit - Tea is one of the favorite drinks as a - Drinking tea is an integral part of British culture part of Vietnamese culture - The British are also very delicate in drinking tea, depending on the time of day they have different accompaniments and different "rituals" - Tea appears in almost every family and social activities - Tea is popularly sold in sidewalk shops - or street vendors - There is no specific time as long as it does not hurt the stomach and sleep Types and Black tea, white tea, green tea, Tea leaves and tea bags how to Oolong tea, yellow tea Green tea, tea marinated with drink Tea bags and Tea leaves flowers( lotus, daisy, rose, ) Drink tea with milk (popular), with Vietnamese people also mix tea with sugar, lemon, and ice lemon, or with sugar, cakes Source material Import tea leaves from India, Sri Vietnam has an area Lanka Vietnam as well England does specializing in tea cultivation, not grow tea Milk tea Another drink made from tea that British and Vietnamese young people like very much is milk tea The main ingredients of milk tea include tea, fruit or fruit flavor, tapioca pearls, syrup and milk However, the formula of milk tea is very diverse Coffee Britain Vietnam 21 Popularity Coffee culture has also continued to Coffee is more than just a boom, 80% of people who visit coffee drink in Vietnam; it’s a way shops so at least once a week, whilst of life 16% visit on a daily basis Types Ground coffee and single-serve coffee - Filter coffee (hot or iced), pods with sweetened condensed milk - There are also many strange drinks: egg coffee, coconut milk coffee Places Coffee shops, at home Coffee shops, every corner, at home, simple roadside stands 22 ... “Lager”: has gas in it People - People over 18 years old - The legal age in Vietnam is 18 years - Both men and women drink old Meaning people under 18 cannot but men still make up the buy or legally... years, they would wish within a reasonable time to be owner-occupiers The overall result was that 85 % of all adults expressed owner-occupation as being their expected tenure while 9% preferred council... almost all of these were bought with a mortgage + Almost all owned by people who have borrowed 80 % of the price Mortgages are available from building societies, banks and other financial institutions
