Re: Vietnamese web aesthetics

Hello Evan,

Technically, Vietnamese Websites are often characterized by
1) lots of Macromedia Flash
2) breaking down even comparable small images into even smaller ones
(see e.g. http://www.mekongautovn.com)
3) lots of bells and whistles - although download speeds are very low.
4) a dominance of .asp and few .php

In terms of style, I am not so sure.
Maybe somebody from our website WG has an idea.

Cheers,
Stefan
