Come spend the summer in the South and tell me that.

Our 95 in North Carolina is worse than your 105 out West.

Is it worse than our 120 though?

Id agree that humid 95 is worse than 10degrees hotter and no humidity. Hell, I'd rather it be 105 and 10% humidity than 85 and 95% humidity.

Yeah..the problem here in NC, is that when it gets so humid, your sweat won't evaporate. So..you just end up soaked..but hot...

If you're an American, just tell her you'll bring her back to America and she'll do anything.

Seriously though, a lot of over there will do anything to get out of there. Girls will marry 60 year old guys living on welfare over here not knowing anything about them just do they can leave.

Our Hotel room was in Hue, not sure what it's ilke in Saigon.


If you can believe it, it's even hotter in Saigon. When I got off the airplane, the heat almost knocked me over.

Sadly those nimrods are clear cutting all their jungles, and it looks like it screwed their climate up. They were in a pretty bad drought a few months back.

If our 95 isn't worse than your 120, our 105 certainly is. Awful.

I remember about 10 years ago, NC State recruited and signed a football player from Arizona.
He came here to live and work out in the summer so he could get used to the heat....said it was much worse here.

Most of the advice in there is pretty accurate.

*Food is dirt cheap, while also being filling and good--about $2-$3 a place at a decent restaurant. . .my cousins were absolutely SHOCKED when we went to a place where it was $5 a place.
*Hotels are too, $12 a night for a nice room with a/c, and shower with hot water--at my relatives' you'll find lots of fans and a bucket of water in the bathroom, so you just pour cold water on yourself
*Lots of beggars, and a great number of them are little kids. If you give to one kid though, expect a lot of them coming out from nowhere demanding some too
*Internet cafes charge about $0.20 an hour
*Taxis are quick to go to your place if you call them, but if you're in a busy area just look over at one and they'll come right to you--20 minute ride is about $2-$3
*Crossing the street may be very intimidating at first, but you get used to it. Just follow the rules, look left look right, take a step, look left look right, take a step, repeat. 95% of the vehicles on the roads are scooters trying to get to their destination as fast as they can, and they don't want to hit you anymore than you want to hit them.

wow, good info to have. i'd LOVE to take a purely culinary tour through vietnam.
