When I was in Vietnam to meet my wife's family I had some interesting experiences just walking around the touristy areas. I must look a bit slavic, as several times some vendor would come up to me and start speaking Russian trying to sell me something. But as soon as I would say "Not Russian, Canadian" they would get excited and switch to English, and immediately rant about how much they hate Russians. They're tolerated because of the amount of money they bring in, but any local I've spoken with in that area want nothing to do with them aside from the money
