Why do most people think Vietnamese always lie?

In fact not only Vietnamese tell lies. A lot other nationality tells lies and is cunning as well. Why so many lies? When one tells 1 lie, one has to tell 10 lies to cover the 1 lie. Than one have to tell 100 lies to cover the 10 lies. It is never ending.

I had this experience in Vietnam in April. As usual I was there to celebrate my baxa birthday. She invited some of her friends to the kara-oke at Cat Dang. She has a girl friend whose boyfriend is China man. This girl friend already used my baxa birthday as excuse to meet some one else. So the whole group (including me) gang up to put up a show when the China man turns up. My baxa birthday becomes my birthday. Her girl friend pass me the Ang Bao and congrats me. Throughout the 1hour plus, I think we put up a good show. Even when some friends leave early, they shake my hand and congrats me again.

So 1 lie leads to another and will lead to another…

I know my baxa do tell lies or will not say it when not asked. This also makes me think whether my baxa family did put up show for the past 2 years whenever I go HCMC visit them.

Anyway I did tell her that if she lie once, she will need to lie to me many times to cover it. She agrees that it will be very tiring, so she started to tell me a lot of things in which I some how feel uncomfortable with. This leads to money issue.
