Vietnamese propaganda

Propaganda for fire fighting
I saw this poster when I was passing by the Fire
 Fighting Department in Điện Biên Phủ city, north
west Vietnam. The woman wears traditional dress
of the Thai ethnic minority group in north west Vietnam.

In May 2007, during my transit time from Brunei to Hanoi, I had to stay for a night in Kuala Lumpur. While I was walking down a street in Bukit Bingtang trying to find a hotel or guest house, I passed by a Vietnamese restaurant in the area. It was easily recognizable since the Vietnamese propaganda were hung up as decorations both inside and outside the restaurant. I went into the restaurant and asked a boy there if he could speak Vietnamese. He answered me in Vietnamese with southern accent and advised me to ask the hotel next to the restaurant. For the first time I saw a Vietnamese restaurant when traveling abroad and it was interesting to see the owner chose Vietnamese propaganda for decorating the restaurant, instead of paintings of the famous landscapes in Vietnam.
Perhaps propaganda have become a special feature of Vietnam, as I've seen some people in the Thorn Tree travel forum asking where they could buy propaganda.
