Spending a month in Vietnam - my random observations

What do we get for ten dollars?

Nice review. I have had a few friends I work with go to Vietnam and Cambodia. Does your soon to be speak Vietnamese? My guess is that helps keep the costs down, ALOT.

I would love to check it out myself but I am barely able to get my wife to fly home by herself from Barcelona next month after our cruise.

Who was blowing him? I've heard of a "reach around", but damn!

He was with his Marine buddies at a bar in Saigon. Had a buzz picked up one of the ladies who offered a bj, they stepped out side and she just dropped his pants around his knees. The whole time she was blowing she was digging threw his pockets.

He told me how he reported to his chopper and saw marks of 5 along the nose. When he inquired if this was all the enemy kills they laughed and said that was how many water buffalo they had taken out.

Does the toilet water spin clockwise or counter?

Vietnam is in the northern hemisphere so it is the same as ours...

That will get you three hens and a mystery hole.

You have a very different opinion of Vietnam than my friend who is a tourguide in East Asia, including doing tours in Vietnam. He's usually there for about 2 weeks at a time, and he said that for the most part, compared to other asian countries, the Vietnamese are rude, especially to females, and they don't know how to say anything without yelling it. He did say that the food is good though, but out of all the asian countries he goes through, Vietnam is by far his least favorite and by the end of his two week tours, he's ready to get the hell out of there.

make sure you try the durian!

Andrew Zimmer approves of this statement.

Shit, I would LOVE to retire there, but all my family lives state side. It really is an awesome place as long as you find a safe place to stay or have someone to guide you.

I was going to try some in Malaysia but couldn't get past the smell.

In every asian country Ive been to..having a local looking friend along makes a huge difference. If you're alone, or in a group of white people...you're a stupid american. If you have a local lady friend, or just a friend that looks local, you look like you're more open to adopting their way of life, and they're more open to you.

Where are the pics? I'm fascinated by foreign countries and their lifestyles. Perhaps because I'm coming to the realization that long term survival may mean getting the fuck out of the good Ol US of A.

Good information. It was recently mentioned that we are rolling out a service center in Vietnam and my name was mentioned to bring it up to speed. Sounds like a pretty neat place to visit.

In the IT world, it seems that India is now a bit higher cost and then things moved to Malaysia. Now companies are starting to roll over to Vietnam.

Enjoy your trip!
