The "westernized culture" is a term for countries like Philippines. South Vietnam was barely westernized, I mean people wore ao dai on the streets, conical hats in rural areas and like I said, all of Vietnamese culture was preserved. For example, while North Vietnamese currency (North Vietnamese Dong) portrayed Ho Chi Minh and paintings about wars and guns, South Vietnamese currency (South Vietnamese Dong) was all about traditions and history (Vietnamese symbol like dragons or buffaloes, historical figures like Prince Tran Hung Dao who defeated the Mongols 3 times or Emperor Quang Trung who almost reunified Vietnam and defeated China and Thailand as well as traditional dress or typical Vietnamese people looks). And remember that those Western-style buildings were built by the Frenchs during the colonial period.
