Try http://www.vietnameseartwork.com Knock yourself out. The two people who run this business are a mixed couple (Vietnamese wife/American husband), and they seem to go out of their way to be fair to the Vietnamese artists who supply their business.

Vietnam is known for corruption and oppression of their own people and ethnic minorities.
Pho, y'alls noodle soup is pretty good.

Please read the original posting on page one before answering.
How about the vietnamese dolls.
There are three versions designating each region, North, Central and South. I'm not sure if you could find them outside of Vietnam. The dolls from the above thread didn't look that great.
How about a Vietnamese cookbook, or a "cyclo" made of aluminum foil/Coke can.
pho?
Ao Dai ..........................................
