Abstract

The Chapter deals with specifics of time and space perception of Vietnamese in the Czech Republic, which depend on culture and migration experience. In our chapter we suggest to think about time-space experience of Czech Viet Kiều through the prism of 1) migration experience 2) collectivist character of Vietnamese society and 3) importance of lunar calendar and theory of feng-shui.

These 3 in our opinion influence time-space behavior of Vietnamese to such extent, that it cannot be perceived as simply independent decision.
