The dragon is a very important creature in the folklore and mythology of Vietnam.
The dragon is popular all over Asia. We’ve seen them in Thailand, Japan, China, Bali, Korea. I’d like to do a study sometime why that is, and how the dragon became the ubiquitous icon in Asia.

It would be very interesting to read such a study Tom. Looking forward to reading it.
