**Pics** of my recent vacation in Vietnam

[Ricochet]

Awesome pics, Kroze.

I have never been to Vietnam but have visited my birth country twice (Cambodia) and can relate to some of the things you've experienced. Saving for another trip at the end of this year. I will only go during the winter months (Nov, Dec, or Jan) because the heat and humidity is just overbearing for me any other time of year.

1.) How much did this entire trip cost?
2.) Weren't you the guy who complained about been fired a few months ago? How were you able to afford this trip?
3.) Saigon traffic is nothing. Go experience traffic on Third mainland bridge and you'll know what REAL traffic is.

What is this "Vietnam" you speak of? Never heard of such a place!

:hmm:

Great pics, man!

Hope you had a great time. Looks like you did.

Cool pics, looks awesome. I have to say though, you have the squintiest eyes I have ever seen.

I've always wanted to go to Vietnam. Would it still be worth going if I didn't speak any Vietnamese?

I just thought he was frowning the whole time because he wasn't enjoying his vacation.

Did you see any families of 5+ on a single bike? Traffic actually doesn't look so bad here.

Pay a few hundred bucks for a local tour guide for the entire time you're there.

Last but not least, before I left Vietnam and headed back to US of A, I set everything on fire.

...

Bahaha! I knew it!

OP, nice pics. Did you plan your trip for the last Lunar New Year (Year of the Rabbit 2011)? What airline was it? First class seat?

I thought the exchange rate is higher now, $1 USD = 22K VND.

I made the trips in 2009 and 2010 but could not on 2011 (not enough vacation days). Planning to get one next year in 2012. First ever ATOT meet in Saigon in 2012?

I will be your guide, show me the money (USD only..LOL). Seriously, you can speak English in Saigon (largest city in VN) but you probably would be ok if you stay with the tour group.

Lol where's that coming from?

the game, Just Cause 2. You're basically this mercenary that goes into some tinpot despotic Asian Island nation (most of the infrastructure looks just like your pics), and you just run around and blow shit up to create chaos and incite civil unrest.

I really think he just wanted to share his vacation pictures, not justify the trip itself. I'll try and answer for him though cause he seems too nice to respond to your troll attempt.

1) None of your damn business

2) Still none of your damn business

3) Nobody cares that you've experienced "REAL" traffic. Everything is relative douchebag.

Cool pictures. I wouldn't mind seeing more of the "real" cities if you have them. Life of the locals more than the tourists, if you know what I mean.

Here are the pictures of my trip two years ago (2009 Lunar New Year)

American coffee and energy drinks are nothing compared to Vietnamese coffee. 1 Vietnamese black coffee is probably equal to 5-6 espresso shots.

I wanna go back to Vietnam after college.

my caffeine tolerance is so high vietnamese coffee does nothing.

I couldn't live in a city over there. It would drive me insane being so close to people all the time.

I make my own. $6 for a box that can last a few months with coffee everyday. Plus you can control how strong you want to make it.

You're right, it's none of your damn business to answer the questions. It's his.
