But the first generation of boat people also produced some famous HK people such as Tsui Hark and Ray Lui.

I was in Hanoi recently. You're right. The bread is french baguette due to french colonialism.

If you visit Hanoi, you must try the Bahn Mi from a shop call Bahn Mi 25. They are known as the best in Hanoi.
